Java 8 for late-adopters - Venkat's 5 cents

Some time ago I wrote a short post regarding some Java 8 features that may be interesting for current pre-8 developers and may motivate them to switch to the latest version. It was really basic, more like teaser than tutorial.

As one of the projects I'm in is currently moving to Java 8, I recently did a presentation on the topic. During research I found out a number of great tutorials - ranging from simple introductions to deep-in-details encyclopedias. One, however, caught my eye.

Venkat's "Java 8 programming idioms" series, published here: http://blog.agiledeveloper.com/2017/09/java-8-programming-idioms-series-at-ibm.html Touches mainly functional side of the Java 8. It can particularly handy, as I see that some developers that up to date lived in an object-oriented programming world have a hard time switching to functional style of thinking. Enjoy!
