Functional Programming with Java 8 by Venkat Subramaniam

[@ismylhakkituran]

This guy's own presentation style ... loved it

[@DrewSpencer]

He's the best

[@zerziszain]

Some important things to understand in this talk that I liked: 10:10 : What does it mean when we say functions are first class citizens? 11:30 : What are Pure functions? Why functions should be pure? Whats the benefit of that? 12:35 : A pure function shouldn't depend on anything that changes, but why? What happens if it depends on something that's mutable? 25:13 : What are method references? Here's how we reduce a simple println statement to a method reference deleting everything that's not required. Note that this is possible only because we're doing something very simple like just printing the input element. 33:45: Lambdas and Closures, from here upto the end is an excellent talk on closures and immutability. 36:45 : Why immutability is important for closures? What would happen if we use something mutable within the closure. (to be updated.. )

I fell in love with functional programming after this talk 😍😍 The best explanation ever on functional programming 😊

[@chandansahoo2925]

An excellence of explanation is here , thanks @Venkat Subramaniam

[@thalathotitharunprabhakar3390]

Thank you Venkat for the detailed presentation of functional programming style in Java.

[@MakeItStik]

Any idea where to find lazy evaluation of Lambda expression talk he pointed out in his presentation. (Edited) I found it. "Let's get Lazy" is the name of presentation.

[@ManikanthVanka]

What is the code editor you have used ?

[@ZackIOS]

As always, one of the best talks in devoxx's history :D Thank you!

[@philsipad]

Very concise and informative. First time having to work with lambda expressions decades after learned it in college.

[@ramankpandita2090]

How did the List appear all of a sudden @45:56 ?

[@Gopal-RamaKrishna]

You are freaking awesome Venkat Sir. So glad to watch your video. You made this concept so simple.

[@ParthivPradhan-iq4nc]

how can someone have so much clarity 👏

[@badatdoingmath]

Venkat is the man!

[@hrs7305]

Really nice summary of a functional programming course

[@mkstudyjournal318]

Well explained.....I had listen this video multiple time...👍

[@SeanGildea77]

Wow amazing talk ! Thank you Venkat!

[@yogeshbhakhar3414]

Awsm content, clarity and above all presentation...Supeeeer. Thank you Venkat Sir and Devoxx.

[@binodkumarsingh1705]

Step-by-step good one

[@vijayschumi]

Best explanation on functional programming..good presentation skill to learn;)

[@th34lch3m1st]

This talk is freaking awesome and he is an amazing teacher.

[@abrorabyyu6221]

what is text editor he is using?

[@sonisaloni2794]

So much covered, so simply!

[@jarjarbinkscc1436]

Thanks, learned my lesson.

[@herediadev]

very very good talk, Thanks Venkat!!

[@rohit250289]

Nobody teaches like him , period .

[@JDLuke]

This was a great talk.

[@abcdef-hh2iq]

What is the IDE that he's using?

[@shivajidandge6651]

Awesome !!!

[@PlasmaSnake369]

So in this example there was 7 different ways to code the same thing in Java 8. It seems like the more versions that come out the more ways to do the same thing, that's one thing I don't particularly enjoy about Java.

[@beerball3713]

Like a boss!

[@SirajFlorida]

Great talk!

[@TheYakup85]

awesome

[@punithmailme]

Which IDE is he using ?

[@waqasrana7891]

Textmate

[@ebuzertahakanat1082]

textmate and venkat are one inseparable being.

[@nullset2]

Textmate with some modifications

[@balanepalaiyathane9714]

Really great you may get better than this so far this is the very best

[@jack009ization]

loved it

[@zhorzhraychev2027]

Super

[@thefunnybuddy4138]

Yeah I'm going to goto a different video. Good video. Better than that last one I sa... wait...

[@sundargautamofficial]

10:00

[@benny-shen]

best english accent by an indian？

[@alfreddavid2254]

Shows u've only met a bunch of trolls out there ; Thats far from reality

[@thefunnybuddy4138]

39:20 Maybe, howewer, we should keep an eye out for a better one.

[@crabsynth3480]

Screw accents ... They are like as*holes... Everyone's got one and everyone thinks their's is special.... Doesn't mean anything as long as speaker is clear and articulate. Its always better to have something good to talk about despite a bad accent rather than having a great accents like most celebrities but having nothing good to talk about. Haha

[@DarthSivius]

"if a language provides higher order functions then it's a functional style language. (...) Java for example is a functional style language". Java doesn't have higher order functions.

Less humour more content 👍
