Lambda Chops - Recipes for Simpler, More Expressive Code in Java

Explore innovative ways to leverage lambda expressions in Java for cleaner, more expressive code in this 42-minute conference talk by Ian Robertson, Application Architect at Myriad Genetics, Inc. Discover techniques beyond the Streams API to create friendlier APIs and reduce boilerplate. Learn about null-safe navigation, handling multiple method interfaces, exception transparency, resource management improvements, and creating comparators. Dive into JUnit 5 parameterized tests and type-safe testing. Gain insights on overcoming lambda limitations and implementing best practices to write beautiful, effective code that streamlines your Java development process.
