This is a one day training on 18th November only.
Please register separate from the conference ticket to attend this workshop.

In this one day workshop, we will start by introducing functional interfaces and streams and then show how these can be used to write fast parallel code in Java.

We will also show some of the more advanced Java 8 features for concurrency, such as the StampedLock and how to use it.

You will get an opportunity to write code where you take existing Java 7 code and then first off convert it to streams and lambdas and then secondly parallelize it. You will also be given heuristics that you can use to decide when to use parallelism and when not to. Lastly, you will have an opportunity to do some coding with Fork/Join, which in some cases can result in better performance than the easier-to-use parallel streams.
