Hi Trish

Links to the below lambda tutorials are a good starting point and examples of Lambdas, if you would like to talk about them:

- https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/lambda-tutorial
(LJC member Graham Allan, @Grundlefleck)

- https://github.com/NightHacking/LambdasHacking
(Nighthacking: Stephen Chin, Oracle - @steveonjava)

My favourite links remain:
Maurice Naftalin's Lambda FAQ: http://www.lambdafaq.org/
Java 8 Lambdas in the Stream - video: http://parleys.com/play/535fbe6ee4b03397a8eee8ea/chapter0/about)
The Road to Lamdas - video: http://parleys.com/play/5250e2fbe4b0c4f11ec57682/about)
Java 8 and beyond keynote - video: http://parleys.com/play/52ada612e4b0cc758a757a77/chapter68/about

And all these have inspired me to come up with some simple examples (showing the old and the new):

But I want to extend this further, with more sophisticated ones if others are game for it.

Cheers,
Mani

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of doing some research on Java 8, and I thought maybe the awesome people on this list could help :)

There are two things that would be dead useful for me, as I'm trying to pull together good material to teach people how to use Java 8.

1) Good examples of idiomatic use of lambdas and streams (actually and Date/Time too). I appreciate it's quite early to define "idiomatic", but maybe you've seen some great examples of the new APIs in use. I have a number of github projects I can look at, but more interesting to me would be specific lines of code or classes to take a look at. Have you come across (or written) any code which you think is a really great example of how you use the new Java 8 features?

2) What tripped you up when you were learning to use the new features? Obviously this only applies if you've been trying to learn/use Java 8, but since many people are already using it, I thought I'd ask for horror stories - what did you find hard? What's not intuitive? What did you have to look up, and then promptly forgot so you have to look it up every time? Are there things you still don't really understand the point of, or how to use?

These are two areas I'm particularly interested in, but if anyone has anything to share about what they love/hate about Java 8, I reckon that's pretty interesting to more than just me.
