Book Description
Java developers usually tackle the complexity of software development through object-oriented programming (OOP). The functional programming (FP) paradigm offers you another approach to solving problems, and Java provides easy-to-grasp FP tools such as lambda expressions and Streams. If you’re interested in applying FP concepts to your Java code, this book is for you. You’ll learn how, when, and why to use FP concepts such as immutability and pure functions to write more concise, reasonable, and future-proof code.
