What we’re about
The Atlanta Java Users Group (AJUG) is organized by Java Developers for Java Developers in order to:
Provide a forum for exchanging information and for brainstorming with other developers on how to successfully implement new Java solutions.
Deliver monthly technical presentations on the latest Java/JVM technologies.
Support the needs of both newbies and experts through related Study Groups targeted at Java Certification and Java-OO architectural issues.
Promote the advantages of Java as a development and deployment environment to the business and educational communities.
While our focus is around Java and the JVM, we also cover a wide variety of other related topics such as Agile development methodologies, mobile and client-side software development frameworks and tools.

Extending Functional Pipeline with Gatherers with Dr. Venkat Subramaniam
Insight Global, 1224 Hammond Dr Suite 1500, Atlanta, GA, USIt's that time of year again when we are incredibly fortunate to host the amazing Dr. Venkat Subramaniam at our monthly meeting. Venkat is a published author, educator, trainer, internationally renowned speaker, and Java Champion. But more importantly, you could not meet a more caring and wonderful person.
Abstract -
The Stream API provides a wealth of methods, such as filter, map, takeWhile, limit, and more, to build functional pipelines. Yet you may encounter situations in your applications that do not readily lend themselves to 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.
