Introduction to Java 8 Lambdas and Streams

Kostas Georgiadis (https://www.meetup.com/Thessaloniki-Java-Meetup-Group/members/128074082/) will do the presentation, an abstract of it you can find below

The new release of Java 8 brings some of the most interesting additions ever made to the language. Java lambda expressions and Streams will help the programmer to write more effective, concise and clean code.
In this presentation will be explained how Streams work and how they will change the way we think about and process Collections. How a bit of the functional paradigm world managed to infiltrate into Java and what are the Functional Interfaces.
This presentation won’t cover every detail of the these new features, nor will dive into the JDK source code. Instead a hands-on sample project will be used to demonstrate how the new API and design changes can be applied effectively and what impact do they have to code readability, maintainability and repetition.
