**Extending Functional Pipelines with Gatherers**
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**
Dr. Venkat Subramaniam is an award-winning author, founder of Agile Developer, Inc., and an instructional professor at the University of Houston.

He has trained and mentored thousands of software developers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia, and is a regularly invited speaker at several international conferences. Venkat helps his clients effectively apply and succeed with sustainable agile practices on their software projects.

Venkat is a (co)author of multiple technical books, including the 2007 Jolt Productivity award-winning book Practices of an Agile Developer. You can find a list of his books at <[https://www.agiledeveloper.com](https://www.agiledeveloper.com/)>
