<h1>Are You Missing Out on One of Java’s Coolest New Features?</h1>
<p>We've got your back.</p>
<p class="lead">This series will get you up to speed on Lambdas, one of the most exciting features ever added to Java. If
the lambda syntax is unknown, unfamiliar, or confusing to you now, then you are in the right place; by
the end of this lesson you will know it like the back of your hand.</p>
<p>Whether you are a hardened Java veteran, a fresh college graduate just getting your feet wet, or are a
programmer no Java specific experience at all, this series will reveal the power and flexibility of
Lambdas in Java 8 using entertaining examples and common scenarios. Together we will explore how we can
turn verbose and brittle code into terse and reusable functions by incrementally improving Java 7-style
code using functional programming inspired Lambdas.</p>
<p>So don't get left in the dust—check out this series and wow your friends (and your boss) with your new
Lambda chops. </p>
<h2>What You’ll Learn In This Series</h2>
<ul>
<li>Learn how you can leverage lambdas in existing Java 7-style code</li>
<li>Understand how lambdas work in the background, and when they are appropriate to use</li>
<li>See how the tried-and-true Comparator interface can become a one-line lambda</li>
<li>Discover the power and versatility of the Function, Consumer, and Predicate functional interfaces,
and how you can utilize them to refactor obtuse code into elegant, reusable lambdas
</li>
<li>Pick up some of the useful optimizations available in Java 8, like method references and the forEach
default method, and see how they can make your code cleaner and more efficient
</li>
</ul>
