Do you want to learn the next hot framework or programming?
Do you want to share a piece of code you are proud of or you struggle with?

Speaker: Dr. Venkat Subramaniam
Title: Extending Functional Pipelines with Gatherers
Synopsis:
The Stream API has a wealth of methods, like filter, map, takeWhile, limit, and so on, to build functional pipelines. Yet, you may run into situations in your applications that readily do not fall in place to make use of these built-in methods. The new gatherer() function, along with the Gatherer interface, gives you the necessary tools to create your own custom steps in the functional pipeline. In this presentation, learn about the different types of gatherers and how to implement them using practical live-coded examples.Speaker Bio:
