Recently gave a presentation in a Java Meetup in Bangalore on basics of functional programming, new functional features in Java 8, and introduction to the basic concepts of functional interfaces and lambda expressions...
Functional programming in Java 8 allows for:
1) The use of lambda expressions and streams for a more declarative programming style without iteration.
2) Functional interfaces like Function, Predicate, and Consumer along with lambda expressions enable function composition and chaining.
3) Features like immutable collections help reduce mutability and side effects, important aspects of functional programming.
In this Meetup Victor Perepelitsky - R&D Technical Leader at LivePerson leading the 'Real Time Event Processing Platform' team , will talk about Java 8', 'Stream API', 'Lambda', and 'Method reference'.
Victor will clarify what functional programming is and how can you use java 8 in order to create better software.
Victor will also cover some pain points that Java 8 did not solve regarding functionality and see how you can work around it.

Functional programming has started (re)gaining prominence in recent years, and with good reason too. Functional programs lend an elegant solution to the concurrency problem, result in more modular systems, are more concise and are easier to test. While modern languages like Scala and Clojure have embraced the functional style whole-heartedly, Java has lagged a bit behind in its treatment of functions as first-class citizens. With the advent of Java 8 and its support for lambdas, however, Java programmers can finally start reaping the power of functional programs as well. Even without Java 8, it is possible to adopt a functional style with the aid of excellent libraries such as Guava.
Introduction of Java 8 with emphasis on Lambda Expressions and StreamsEmiel Paasschens
Lambda expressions and streams are major new features in Java 8. Lambda expressions allow treating functionality as a method argument or variable. Streams provide a new way to process collections of objects in a declarative way using intermediate and terminal operations. The document provides examples of lambda expressions, method references, functional interfaces, default methods on interfaces, and stream operations like filter, map, and reduce.
1. The document discusses functional programming in Scala, focusing on why FP is useful, its core concepts, and tools like for-comprehensions, Try and Either.
2. It explains key FP concepts like pure functions, referential transparency, and how Scala supports both functional and imperative styles.
3. Functional programming enables testability, reusability, parallelism and comprehension through immutable data and higher-order functions. The document also covers tools like for-comprehensions for working with collections and Try/Either for handling errors in a functional way.
The document provides information about a mentoring program run by Baabtra-Mentoring Partner including a trainee's typing speed progress over 3 weeks, jobs applied to with current statuses, an introduction to functions in Javascript covering definitions, advantages, examples, and local and global variables. Contact details for Baabtra are also provided at the end.
This document discusses Java 8 features including defining methods in interfaces, functional programming concepts, lambda expressions, and the stream API. Key points include: interfaces can now define default and static methods; functional programming uses declarative code, avoids mutability, and handles concurrency; lambda expressions define anonymous methods; and the stream API processes data in parallel streams to leverage multi-core architectures.

Java 8 Streams And Common Operations By Harmeet Singh(Taara)Harmeet Singh(Taara)
In this, we are discuss about Java 8 Streams. Common Operations . Java 8 Streams are huge topic, so i am not cover all the things, but try to cover the basics operations of Streams. Before this, please refer my previous presentation "Functional programming in java 8", because of clear some basic concept for functional programming. For the reference use Java 8 API docs.
This document discusses new features in Java 8 including stream API, lambdas, default methods, optional values, date and time API, stamped locks, concurrent adders, improved annotations, new file operations, overflow operations, and the Nashorn JavaScript engine. It provides code examples and explanations of how to use these new features in Java 8.
At least since the release of Java 8, functional programming has become mainstream in the Java community. Things like collection processing, lazy evaluation and concurrent programming are much easier to describe in a functional style than in the traditional procedural or object-oriented way.
Xtend is a Java dialect hosted at Eclipse. Designed to remove the syntactic noise, it offers a superior syntax and additional abstractions to provide the full power of functional programming to Java developers. As it compiles to Java 5 code, it will enable functional programming even for Android and GWT developers.
In this tutorial, you will learn the basic principles of functional programming and the Xtend idioms to write code the functional way: concise, easy to understand, and yet powerful. No prior knowledge of functional programming or Xtend required.
This document provides a brief overview of Java 8 features including functional interfaces, lambda expressions, stream API, and Optional class. It discusses how functional interfaces provide target types for lambda expressions and can have a single abstract method. Lambda expressions allow implementing functional interfaces concisely without anonymous classes. The stream API provides a powerful way to process collections in a declarative way using lambda expressions. The Optional class avoids null pointer exceptions and allows chaining of method calls on objects that may be null.
This document discusses features of the Xtend programming language that make Java code cleaner and more concise, including active annotations, extension methods, lambda expressions, switch expressions, and more. It provides code examples to demonstrate how Xtend allows generating boilerplate code through active annotations, adding methods to existing types via extension methods, using lambda expressions and the with operator for cleaner code, and more powerful switch expressions. The document recommends resources for learning more about Xtend, including documentation, presentations, blogs, and example source code.

Introduction to functional programming, with Elixirkirandanduprolu
This document introduces functional programming with Elixir. It discusses how functional programming is an alternative paradigm to object-oriented programming, with concepts like pure functions, immutable data, and functions as first-class citizens. Elixir is a functional language that runs on the Erlang VM, allowing it to easily build concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems. It provides many benefits over Erlang like better tooling and syntax. The document outlines Elixir's core concepts like modules, functions, pattern matching, and the pipeline operator and provides examples of how to work with Elixir's basic datatypes.
Functions are reusable blocks of code that can be called to perform tasks. There are two ways to define a function: with a statement or expression. Functions may accept parameters and return values. Variables declared inside a function have local scope, while parameters and the this keyword can refer to different objects depending on the context. Functions allow code to be reused and are fundamental to JavaScript programming.
The document discusses the pros and cons of the Scala programming language. It outlines some of the good aspects of Scala like its functional and object-oriented nature, immutable collections, and ability to reuse Java libraries. However, it also notes challenges like slow compiler and IDE tools, a steep learning curve, and the potential for overly complex code. While Scala has drawbacks, the author believes it could be suitable for small side modules but not general new projects due to its deficiencies, and that guidelines are needed to prevent misuse of its expressive capabilities.
The document summarizes many of the new features introduced in PHP 5, including an overhauled object model with reference handling, visibility, constructors and destructors. It also discusses the Standard PHP Library (SPL) which provides classes and interfaces to solve common problems. New functions, extensions and other language improvements like type hinting and exceptions are covered. The presentation encourages developers to adopt PHP 5 features for improved object oriented programming.
A beginner level programming event where you will take your first steps with the basic concepts of C. You will have skill checks in between, in the form of quizzes and you will also get hands-on exposure in this field.
This document discusses functional programming. It begins by stating that functional programming popularity has increased, with languages like F#, Haskell, Scala, Erlang and Elixir gaining popularity. Even OOP languages like C# and Java have incorporated some functional features. The document then covers key concepts of functional programming like pure functions, immutability, higher order functions and referential transparency. It discusses how C# supports a multi-paradigm approach, combining functional programming with imperative programming. Finally, it notes that functional programming is trending due to benefits for concurrency and parallel processing.
This document compares PLpgSQL and PL/SQL programming languages. PLpgSQL is based on PL/SQL but has some differences in implementation and features. It focuses on simplicity and integration with PostgreSQL rather than compatibility with Oracle. While some functionality is similar, PLpgSQL is designed for the PostgreSQL environment rather than being a pure clone of PL/SQL. The author discusses the history and design of PLpgSQL.
The document provides an introduction to Java 8 streams. It discusses intermediate and terminal stream operations such as filter(), sorted(), forEach(), and reduce(). It describes reductions like max(), min(), sum(), count(), and average(). It covers find methods, match methods, and Optional. It also discusses limiting, skipping, and distinct elements in streams.
JavaScript is a programming language used to make web pages interactive. It can be placed in the <body> and <head> sections of an HTML page. JavaScript code must be inserted between <script> and </script> tags. Functions and events allow JavaScript code to run when events occur, like when a user clicks a button. Scripts can also be placed in external .js files for reuse across pages. JavaScript can output data through alerts, writing to the HTML, or the browser console. Variables are used to store and work with data in JavaScript programs. Comments are used to explain code and prevent execution when needed.
Java 8 introduced new features like default methods, lambda expressions, and stream API. Default methods allow interfaces to provide implementation without breaking existing classes. Lambda expressions enable functional programming by allowing blocks of code to be treated as values. The stream API allows functional-style processing of data such as filtering, mapping, and reducing collections. Some limitations of streams include that they are not reusable, can have worse performance than loops, and are less familiar to procedural programmers.
“Lambdas in JAVA 8 is not for what they can do, It is about how we write Program”
It enables Functional Programming, It Adds a New nucleotides in the DNA of Java.
There is a Change in “The Climate” to change our Ways.
The document discusses importing packages in Java code. It includes examples of importing common packages like Scanner, FileInputStream, ArrayList, and others. The code sample shows initializing variables and objects like routers, table, and requests array list. It also includes code for parsing input, setting up network routing tables, and performing other routing calculations and simulations.

Project Lambda: Functional Programming Constructs in Java - Simon Ritter (Ora...jaxLondonConference
Presented at JAX London 2013
The big language features for Java SE 8 are lambda expressions (closures) and default methods (formerly called defender methods or virtual extension methods). Adding lambda expressions to the language opens up a host of new expressive opportunities for applications and libraries. You might assume that lambda expressions are simply a more syntactically compact form of inner classes, but, in fact, the implementation of lambda expressions is substantially different and builds on the invokedynamic feature added in Java SE 7.
Scala is a functional programming language created in 2003 that runs on the JVM and is seamlessly interoperable with Java. It is strongly typed, object oriented, and functional. Functional programming avoids mutable state and side effects by treating computation as mathematical functions. This makes concurrency, distribution, and resilience easy in Scala. When coding problems functionally in Scala using techniques like map and filter, the underlying distributed execution is abstracted away, leaving developers to focus on what to do rather than how or where. This makes Scala well suited for big data problems where performance, scalability and fault tolerance are important.

With Java 8 released in March 2014, Oracle Java Technology Ambassador James Weaver discusses many of its new features such as lambda expressions, the stream API, and client-side capabilities with the JavaFX library.
Functional Programming With Lambdas and Streams in JDK8IndicThreads
The significant new language feature in Java SE 8 is the introduction of Lambda expressions, a way of defining and using anonymous functions. On its own this provides a great way to simplify situations where we would typically use an inner class today. However, Java SE 8 also introduces a range of new classes in the standard libraries that are designed specifically to take advantage of Lambdas. These are primarily included in two new packages: java.util.stream and java.util.function.
After a brief discussion of the syntax and use of Lambda expressions this session will focus on how to use Streams to greatly simplify the way bulk and aggregate operations are handled in Java. We will look at examples of how a more functional approach can be taken in Java using sources, intermediate operations and terminators. We will also discuss how this can lead to improvements in performance for many operations through the lazy evaluation of Streams and how code can easily be made parallel by changing the way the Stream is created.

REST Architectural Style: A Detail ExplainNguyen Cao
The idea of this talk is to explain the architectural design concepts behind REST APIS and its roles in modern web APIs.This is a presentation at Barcamp Saigon 2012.
Functional programming concepts in JavaScript such as pure functions, immutable data, and higher-order functions are difficult for most developers due to their imperative programming habits, lack of understanding modern JavaScript features, and an aversion to learning underlying functional math concepts. Understanding core functional utilities like map, filter, reduce, and zip as well as concepts like functors, applicatives, and monads requires overcoming years of imperative thinking and a willingness to understand concepts rather than just code. Reading Ramda tests and Fantasy Land specifications can help familiarize developers with a functional style of programming.
Integrating Social Apps with Content Driven Sites using Apache Rave and Sprin...ate.douma
This document provides an overview of integrating social apps with content-driven sites using Apache Rave and the Spring HMVC extension. It discusses Rave features and components, demonstrates a dynamic HMVC page layout, and highlights architectural choices for further usage and integration of content services in Rave. The Spring HMVC extension allows for runtime route mapping and reusable page fragments to address limitations of standard Spring MVC. The Rave JCR backend provides a content repository and services, though bringing this to production quality requires more effort. The status and direction of these extensions within Rave were discussed.
This document discusses functional programming concepts in Java 8, including lambda expressions, method references, and streams. Lambda expressions allow for anonymous functions and internal iteration. Method references provide shorthand syntax for referring to methods. Streams provide a way to perform aggregate operations on collections in a declarative way and can optimize processing through parallelization. Optional is a container class that helps eliminate null checks. Default methods allow interfaces to define behavior while maintaining backwards compatibility.
This document provides an introduction to Nayden Gochev, a Java expert. It discusses Gochev's experience with various Java technologies and programming languages. The document then summarizes key features introduced in Java 7 and Java 8, including method handles, invokedynamic, lambdas, default methods on interfaces, static methods on interfaces, and the stream API. It provides examples of how to write certain tasks like printing even numbers using streams compared to older approaches.
1) The document discusses bootstrapping a PHP application called Ubraa using test-driven development.
2) It describes writing a Ubraa_Application class with initialize() and run() methods to bootstrap the application.
3) The document walks through writing the first test for this class to ensure it can be instantiated, and passing this initial test.
This document provides an introduction and overview of keyword search over spatial databases and approximate string matching for spatial queries. It discusses spatial approximate string queries that find objects within a spatial range that have similar descriptions to a query term. It also provides background on technologies like Java Server Pages, Java Script, and communicating with databases from Java.
Java 8 introduced many new features including lambda expressions for functional programming, default methods and static methods in interfaces, method references, repeating annotations, improved type inference, the Optional class, streams API for functional-style collections processing, and Base64 encoding support in the standard library. It was a major update to the Java programming language and development kit.

Tony Lewis, Chief Technology Officer at BrainChip, presents the “State-space Models vs. Transformers for Ultra-low-power Edge AI” tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
At the embedded edge, choices of language model architectures have profound implications on the ability to meet demanding performance, latency and energy efficiency requirements. In this presentation, Lewis contrasts state-space models (SSMs) with transformers for use in this constrained regime. While transformers rely on a read-write key-value cache, SSMs can be constructed as read-only architectures, enabling the use of novel memory types and reducing power consumption. Furthermore, SSMs require significantly fewer multiply-accumulate units—drastically reducing compute energy and chip area.
New techniques enable distillation-based migration from transformer models such as Llama to SSMs without major performance loss. In latency-sensitive applications, techniques such as precomputing input sequences allow SSMs to achieve sub-100 ms time-to-first-token, enabling real-time interactivity. Lewis presents a detailed side-by-side comparison of these architectures, outlining their trade-offs and opportunities at the extreme edge.
In this talk, Elliott explores how developers can embrace AI not as a threat, but as a collaborative partner.
We’ll examine the shift from routine coding to creative leadership, highlighting the new developer superpowers of vision, integration, and innovation.
We'll touch on security, legacy code, and the future of democratized development.
Whether you're AI-curious or already a prompt engineering, this session will help you find your rhythm in the new dance of modern development.

Introduction to LangGraph
Build agent with LangGraph Studio V2
Neural representations have shown the potential to accelerate ray casting in a conventional ray-tracing-based rendering pipeline. We introduce a novel approach called Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection Function (LSNIF) that replaces bottom-level BVHs used as traditional geometric representations with a neural network. Our method introduces a sparse hash grid encoding scheme incorporating geometry voxelization, a scene-agnostic training data collection, and a tailored loss function. It enables the network to output not only visibility but also hit-point information and material indices. LSNIF can be trained offline for a single object, allowing us to use LSNIF as a replacement for its corresponding BVH. With these designs, the network can handle hit-point queries from any arbitrary viewpoint, supporting all types of rays in the rendering pipeline. We demonstrate that LSNIF can render a variety of scenes, including real-world scenes designed for other path tracers, while achieving a memory footprint reduction of up to 106.2x compared to a compressed BVH.
