Modern Java in Action: Lambdas, streams, functional and reactive programming Review: If you want to take your Java fundamentals to the next level, this is the book. - The only regret that I have about this book is taking 6 months to get deep into it after I bought it. I recently had a coding challenge, which I completed successfully, but using some archaic for-loops. I knew a little about the Java Streams API but not enough to use it intensely. Had I finished this book, my performance in that coding challenge would have been much better. The book guides you sequentially from Lambdas, to method references, functional interfaces to streams in a way that builds up to skills and tools that will blow your mind. Even before the authors used the word SQL to describe what Streams manipulation does with collections, I had reached that conclusion. For instance, the filter() is like a Where in SQL. The sorted() is like an Order By in SQL, etc. Basically you'll learn how to query your collection by chaining. And that's just 1 3rd of the book. My Java fundamentals have been enriched or "modernized" beyond measure. It's fun to actually code the examples and break them and play around with them. My next coding challenge will be off the charts for sure. Review: A clear guide to lambdas, streams and functional/reactive programming - The beauty of this book is that the authors gradually build the lessons from the things that you already know. Comparative learning is the best kind of learning and the authors have done a brilliant job with their teaching approach. Almost all other java 8 books and tutorials start with abstract stuff like “functional interfaces” with the “runnable interface” as the example, assuming people are experts in these topics. Most java authors really prefer to drown their readers in esoteric obscurity, like the language itself. But the authors of Modern Java in Action explain everything step by step, taking you by the hand until you grasp the concepts completely. That’s the hallmark of a great book. Really looking forward to their next book if they plan to write one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #390,617 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Functional Software Programming #80 in Object-Oriented Design #376 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (208) | | Dimensions | 7.38 x 1.2 x 9.25 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1617293563 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1617293566 | | Item Weight | 2.2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 592 pages | | Publication date | November 15, 2018 | | Publisher | Manning | ## Images ![Modern Java in Action: Lambdas, streams, functional and reactive programming - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ShmxEKfjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want to take your Java fundamentals to the next level, this is the book. *by A***P on February 10, 2022* The only regret that I have about this book is taking 6 months to get deep into it after I bought it.
