Java 8 is the most important update to Java since its inception. The limits of the existing language have been exposed by the challenge of multi-core hardware, the industry adoption of functional principles, the continued evolution of C# and the growing adoption of alternative JVM languages like Scala and Clojure.

This new release of Java aims to address these concerns via new language features, enhancements to existing libraries and numerous low level improvements to the JVM itself. Developers can use these enhancements to write shorter, safer applications that are amenable to multi-core devices.

This course enables experienced Java developers to understand the full range of features arriving in Java 8 and to start using them immediately.

Delegates must be proficient in Java 7 with several years of experience developing in industry.
