Essential review

After having gone through the tutorials from this same book at the O'Reilly website, this helped reinforce my knowledge of Java 8. It provides a practical, non-academic approach to Java's functional programming features. Made for a good walking compantion and gym workout. I keep noticing things I missed the first time through; I make bookmarks and then review them when I get back to my computer.

In the spoken version, they don't explain what's in the diagrams and code samples, and what I end up with is a firm sense of what *should* be possible. There is an accopmanying pdf with code samples and figures. While the figures are sometimes referenced from the spoken text, the code sample references have to be inferred. So I'd give it four stars on the performance for that gap.

I find that inferring context from code to be a fascinating, which is maybe why I do this for a living. And, maybe this book is not going to be helpful for everyone.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
