Java SE 8 for Java EE Developers

Laura Engin

By David Delabasse, Oracle

Java SE 8 brings a bounty of improvements: Lambda expressions, a new Date and Time API, the Streams API, Completable Futures, Nashorn, Repeatable Annotations, String joiners, etc.

Since most of the Java EE 7 Application Servers are now certified to run on Java SE 8;; why not try to leverage those new capabilities today?

This code-­intensive session will explore how some of those new Java SE 8 features can effectively be utilized inside Java EE 7 applications.
