JAVA 8 - MIGRATING TO JAVA 8

This course teaches experienced Java 6 Developers the new language features in Java SE 7 and Java SE 8. All the participants are expected to have solid Java SE 5 or Java 6 Programming experience and are only suitable for participants with this knowledge.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

- Understand and take advantage of Java 7 features including strings in switch/case and auto-selection of type parameters for generics.
- Use “try-with-resources” for simpler cleanup.
- Work with Java 8 as a complete functional language. 
- Decide appropriate choices of tools including inner classes, functional interfaces, method references and lambda expressions.
- Incorporate the Java 8 Stream API for efficient input, output and processing of data.
- Complete usage of the Java 8 Time API.
