Mastering Lambdas : Java Programming in a Multicore World

The Definitive Guide to Lambda ExpressionsMastering Lambdas: Java Programming in a Multicore World describes how the lambda-related features of Java SE 8 will enable Java to meet the challenges of next-generation parallel hardware architectures. The book explains how to write lambdas, and how to use them in streams and in collection processing, providing code examples throughout. You’ll learn how to use lambda expressions to take full advantage of performance improvements provided by today’s multicore hardware.
