Presentation on the greatest changes in Java 8 Standard Edition. It includes DateTime API, Lamba's, Streams and other additions to the Collection API, CompletableFutures and Type Annotations
Java is Object Oriented Programming. Java 8 is the latest version of the Java which is used by many companies for the development in many areas. Mobile, Web, Standalone applications.
The JavaScript programming language is a multi-paradigm language that is misunderstood due to its name, design errors in early implementations, and use in web browsers. It is a functional language that uses objects, prototypes, and closures. Values in JavaScript include numbers, strings, Booleans, objects, null, and undefined. All other values are objects.
Kotlin is a statically typed programming language that is 100% interoperable with Java. It aims to combine object-oriented and functional programming features and to be more concise than Java. Some key features of Kotlin include type inference, properties that replace getter/setter methods, higher-order functions, lambdas, and coroutines. Using Kotlin can increase developer productivity through less code, fewer errors, and clearer syntax. It also allows existing Java code to remain unchanged while new features are developed in Kotlin. Integrating Kotlin into a project requires adding dependencies and plugins, setting up tooling, and initially targeting a small component for parallel development in both languages.
The document provides an overview of JavaScript programming. It discusses the history and components of JavaScript, including ECMAScript, the DOM, and BOM. It also covers JavaScript basics like syntax, data types, operators, and functions. Finally, it introduces object-oriented concepts in JavaScript like prototype-based programming and early vs. late binding.
The document discusses clean coding practices for Java developers. It covers topics such as choosing meaningful names for variables, methods, and classes; writing code that is easy for others to understand; breaking methods down into single logical steps; and using fluent APIs to make code more readable. The presentation provides examples of clean code and ways to refactor code to follow best practices.
Lambda expressions, default methods in interfaces, and the new date/time API are among the major new features in Java 8. Lambda expressions allow for functional-style programming by treating functionality as a method argument or anonymous implementation. Default methods add new capabilities to interfaces while maintaining backwards compatibility. The date/time API improves on the old Calendar and Date APIs by providing immutable and easier to use classes like LocalDate.
Lambda expressions allow implementing functional interfaces using anonymous functions. Method references provide a shorthand syntax for referring to existing methods as lambda expressions. The Stream API allows functional-style operations on streams of values, including intermediate and terminal operations. The new Date/Time API provides a safer and more comprehensive replacement for the previous date/time classes in Java.
Presentation provides introduction and detailed explanation of the Java 8 Lambda and Streams. Lambda covers with Method references, default methods and Streams covers with stream operations,types of streams, collectors. Also streams are elaborated with parallel streams and benchmarking comparison of sequential and parallel streams.
Additional slides are covered with Optional, Splitators, certain projects based on lambda and streams
The document discusses basic Java concepts including identifiers, keywords, literals, primitive data types, variables, operators, control flow statements, classes, methods, inheritance, polymorphism, packages and modifiers. It provides definitions and examples of key concepts like classes, objects, methods, inheritance, polymorphism, packages, modifiers, variables and data types. It also lists Java keywords, reserved words and literals.
This document provides an introduction to JavaScript and its uses for web programming. It explains that JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that allows web pages to become interactive. Some key points covered include:
- JavaScript can change HTML content, styles, validate data, and make calculations.
- Functions are blocks of code that perform tasks when invoked by events or called in code.
- Events like clicks or keyboard presses trigger JavaScript code.
- The DOM (Document Object Model) represents an HTML document that JavaScript can access and modify.
- Forms and user input can be accessed and processed using the DOM.
- Programming flow can be controlled with conditional and loop statements.

Lambda and Stream Master class - part 1José Paumard
These are the slides of the talk we made with Stuart Marks at Devoxx Belgium 2018. This first part covers Lambda Expressions and API design with functional interfaces.
What is the state of lambda expressions in Java 11? Lambda expressions are the major feature of Java 8, having an impact on most of the API, including the Streams and Collections API. We are now living the Java 11 days; new features have been added and new patterns have emerged. This highly technical Deep Dive session will visit all these patterns, the well-known ones and the new ones, in an interactive hybrid of lecture and laboratory. We present a technique and show how it helps solve a problem. We then present another problem, and give you some time to solve it yourself. Finally, we present a solution, and open for questions, comments, and discussion. Bring your laptop set up with JDK 11 and your favorite IDE, and be prepared to think!
Java 8 will include many new features including lambdas, default methods on interfaces, and a date/time API. Lambdas allow implementing functional interfaces with expression syntax rather than anonymous classes, and method references allow referring to methods without invoking them. Default methods allow adding new functionality to interfaces without breaking existing implementations. The new date/time API in JSR-310 provides improved date/time handling functionality.
The document discusses lambda expressions in Java 8. It provides background on the lambda calculus and functional programming. Lambda expressions allow anonymous functions and are implemented using functional interfaces in Java 8. This enables a more functional style of programming. Lambda expressions can access variables from their enclosing scope and method references provide a concise way to pass existing methods. The streams API allows functional-style operations on collections and supports sequential and parallel processing.
Python Programming - VII. Customizing Classes and Operator OverloadingRanel Padon
The document discusses customizing classes in Python through operator overloading. It defines operator overloading as allowing programmers to define special methods that are called when operators are used on user-defined classes. This allows operators to work with class objects in a natural way. The document provides examples of overloading operators like + and - for a Rational number class. It also discusses string representation using __str__, attribute access, type conversion, and summarizes with a case study of a Rational class that overloads various operators and functions.
This document discusses JavaScript objects and methods for manipulating strings and performing mathematical calculations. It introduces the Math object which allows common mathematical operations and contains constants like PI. It also covers the String object which allows manipulating and processing strings, including character-level methods, searching/extracting substrings, and generating XHTML tags. Methods like split(), indexOf(), toLowerCase() are described.

Lambda Chops - Recipes for Simpler, More Expressive CodeIan Robertson
While the new Streams API has been a great showcase for lambda methods, there are many other ways this new language feature can be used to make friendlier APIs and more expressive code. Lambdas can be used for a number of tasks which historically required significant boilerplate, type-unsafe constructs, or both. From new ways to express metedata, to emulating Groovy's null-safe navigation operator, we'll take a look at a myriad of ways, big and small, that you can use lambdas to improve APIs and streamline your code. We'll also look at some of the limitations of lambdas, and some techniques for overcoming them.

An Overview Of Python With Functional ProgrammingAdam Getchell
This document provides an overview of the Python programming language and its capabilities for functional programming. It describes Python's attributes such as being portable, object-oriented, and supporting procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. It also lists several popular Python modules that provide additional functionality and examples of code written in both a procedural and object-oriented style in Python. Finally, it provides examples of functional programming concepts like map, filter and reduce implemented in Python along with references for further information.
This document discusses the history and evolution of functional programming in Java, including lambda expressions and streams. It describes how lambda expressions allow passing behaviors as arguments to methods like normal data. This improves API design, opportunities for optimization, and code readability. Streams encourage a lazy, pipelined style and can execute operations in parallel. Functional idioms like immutability and pure functions help enforce correctness and isolation of side effects.
This document provides an overview of object oriented programming concepts in Java including classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism and more. It also outlines the syllabus for a course on OOP with Java, covering topics like arrays, strings, vectors, exception handling, GUI programming and more. Finally, it provides some examples of basic Java code.
This document discusses principles for writing clean code in functions. It recommends that functions should be small, do one thing, have descriptive names, and avoid side effects. Functions with many arguments or switch statements are harder to understand. Exceptions should be used instead of return codes to indicate errors. Overall, following best practices for functions helps produce code that is easy to read and maintain.
This document provides an introduction to LINQ (Language Integrated Query). LINQ allows querying over various data sources using a common SQL-like syntax. It introduces key LINQ concepts like LINQ to Objects, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML and language features in .NET that support LINQ like lambda expressions and extension methods. The document also provides examples of standard query operators and using LINQ to query objects, databases and XML documents.
This document provides an overview of object-oriented programming fundamentals in Java, including basic concepts like objects, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. It discusses Java features, the Java program structure, variables and data types, operators, expressions, arrays, and control statements. Object-oriented programming concepts like abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism are explained. The benefits and applications of OOP are also highlighted.
The document discusses new features introduced in Java 8, including allowing static and default methods in interfaces, lambda expressions, and the Stream API. Key points include: interfaces can now contain static and default methods; lambda expressions provide a concise way to implement functional interfaces and allow passing code as a method argument; and the Stream API allows operations on sequences of data through intermediate and terminal operations.
The document discusses the introduction and advantages of lambda expressions and functional programming in Java 8. Some key points include:
- Lambda expressions allow passing behaviors as arguments to methods, simplifying code by removing bulky anonymous class syntax. This enables more powerful and expressive APIs.
- Streams provide a way to process collections of data in a declarative way, leveraging laziness to improve efficiency. Operations can be pipelined for fluent processing.
- Functional programming with immutable data and avoidance of side effects makes code more modular and easier to reason about, enabling optimizations like parallelism. While not natively supported, Java 8 features like lambda expressions facilitate a more functional approach.
The document discusses Java 8 Streams, which provide a way to process data in a functional style. Streams allow operations like filter, map, and reduce to be performed lazily on collections, arrays, or I/O sources. The key aspects of streams are that they are lazy, support both sequential and parallel processing, and represent a sequence of values rather than storing them. The document provides examples of using intermediate operations like filter and map and terminal operations like forEach and collect. It also discusses spliterators, which drive streams and allow parallelization, and functional interfaces which are used with lambda expressions in streams.
The document summarizes the new features introduced in C# 3.0 and Visual Studio 2008 (code named "Orcas"). It discusses implicit typing, auto-implemented properties, object and collection initializers, extension methods, anonymous types, lambda expressions, generic delegates, and expression trees. It provides examples for many of these new features and encourages attendees to ask questions.
Lambda expressions were introduced in Java 8 as a way to write concise code for functional interfaces. They allow passing code as data and reducing boilerplate code. Other Java 8 features include default methods that allow interfaces to have method implementations, and streams that provide a functional way to process collections of data in a declarative way. Parallel streams allow concurrent processing of data. Lambda expressions, default methods, and streams improved Java's support for functional programming.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc
Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.

29. JSR 308 extends
Java’s annotation system
so that
annotations may appear
on any use of a type
Type annotations make
Java's annotation system
more expressive and uniform.
Type Annotations Goal
31. @NonNull List<@Interned String> messages;
@Interned String @NonNull[] array;
LocalDate d = (@ReadOnly LocalDate) nu;
String toString(@ReadOnly ThisClass this) {}
public @Interned String intern() {}
New Annotation Locations
32. Type checking prevents mistakes…
… but not enough
Null Pointer Exceptions
Wrong String Comparisons
Fake Enums
Units (meters/yards, kilogram/pounds)
Why Type Checkers?
33. /**
* @param distance in kilometers
* @return will I make it?
*/
boolean hasEnoughFuel(double distance) {
return
distance < velocity * maxFlightTime;
}
Will I make it?
double distance = 1200; // km
plane.hasEnoughFuel(distance);
35. /**
* @param distance in kilometers
* @return will I make it?
*/
boolean hasEnoughFuel(@km double distance) {
return
distance < velocity * maxFlightTime;
}
How about now?
@km double distance = (@km double) 1200
plane.hasEnoughFuel(distance);

71. The type is inferred from the context
Supplier<Runnable> c =
() -> () -> out.println("hi");
// Illegal, cannot determine interface
Object o =
() -> out.println("hi");
// Valid, explicit cast
Object o =
(Runnable) () -> out.println("hi");
73. Types of Method Reference

public LocalDate getBirthday() {
return bday;
}
public static int compareByAge(
Person a, Person b) {
return a.bday.compareTo(b.bday);
}
}
75. Reference to a static method
Person::compareByAge
class Person {
…
public static int compareByAge(
Person a, Person b) {
return a.bday.compareTo(b.bday);
}
}
(a1, a2) -> Person.compareByAge(a1, a2)
76. Reference to an Instance Method of a
Particular Object

}
};
f1.apply(1);
}
JDK 7
Variable ‘x’ is accessed from
within inner class.
Needs to be declared final
82. public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 5; // Effectively final
Function<Integer, Integer> f1 =
new Function<Integer, Integer>() {
@Override
public Integer apply(Integer i) {
return i + x;
}
};
f1.apply(1);
}
JDK 8 – It compiles!
83. int x = 5; // effectively final
Function<Integer, Integer> f = i -> i + x;
f.apply(1); // 6
int x = 5; // not effectively final
Function<Integer, Integer> f = i-> i + ++x;
f.apply(1); // Does not compile
Effectively final
84. lambda == functional interface (SAM)
type depends on context
intuitive scoping, not like inner classes
enhanced type inference / effectively final variables
or
let the compiler work for you
method referencing for readability
