This tutorial first introduces the lambda language feature, then provides a more detailed introduction to functional programming with lambda expressions along with target types.

This tutorial demonstrates the power of lambda expressions by contrasting implementations of a mathematical example using C++, Java without lambdas, and Java 8 with lambda expressions.

Don't be intimidated by the prospect of doing functional programming in Java. This step-by-step example will help you learn basic Java lambda syntax quickly and effectively.

Consternation over Java's lambda syntax is the perfect example of how Java's evolution and incremental improvements have created a community of spoiled programmers.

Amazon Web Services announced that cloud developers can now use Java for writing Lambda functions, which provide event-driven functionality while taking care of needed compute resources.
