Who Is This Course For?

This course deep-dives into each of the functional programming concepts that got introduced in the Java programming language.

Introduce yourself to the functional programming

Functional programming has recently gained popularity, and the number of lines written by developers in the last few years using functional programming(for open-source projects) did hustle around Java developers.

1. No wonder developers fell in love with functional programming with fewer lines of code.
2. The Java community encourages more and more developers to embrace this programming style.
3. In this course, you will learn how to write functional programming code with lambda expressions and Streams API, etc. 4. Having a detailed knowledge of this topic will help you write clean and single-line Java code snippets for most business use cases.
4. Functional programming provides high performance in processing extensive data for applications.

This course benefits all Java developers who want to get strong with modern Java 8/11/17 features. Wait, there’s much more we will discuss in this course.

Prerequisites

To take full advantage of this course, you should ideally have the following:

• Knowledge of Java basics.
• Create and run a simple Java program.
• Collections API (optional)

Install Java 8 or above versions if you wish to run the example code snippets locally in your IDE(Integrated Development Environment).

Free IDE

I use IntelliJ Idea, WebStorm, and Datagrip in my everyday use at work and personally. Apart from its basic tooling tasks, it offers even more advanced features. No IDE comes closer to JetBrains IDE’s.

IntelliJ Idea is the number one choice, per the survey conducted by open Java communities and the Java official channel.

For instance, I was asked to only use IntelliJ Idea when I worked for Apple, Jive SBS, a startup and European Commission companies.

Please take full advantage of Jetbrain tools for what it offers in the community and the ultimate edition.

JetBrains is free for students and teachers: Get free access to all JetBrains IDEs for personal use at school or home..
