Description
Java has been significantly changed in version 8. Many long-planned features were introduced in the language, making it more functional. Using these features requires new approaches to programming and a deep understanding of new principles.This training is designed to help participants understand the new features of Java 8. The course covers lambda expressions, data streams, stream data processing with map-filter-reduce approach, asynchronous programming and DateTime API. Every key area has a number of practical exercises that allows participants to practice what they learned.
After completing the course, a certificate
is issued on the Luxoft Training form

Code Refactoring for Java
The course deals with the concept of refactoring as a way of preventing software rot. The course describes various smells indicating that a code needs refactoring, explains which refactoring types best suit specific situations, and describes the work of refactoring in detail through analyzing concrete real-life cases.
Effective Java
The training explores new design patterns and language idioms, showing how to make the most of features ranging from generics to enums, annotations to autoboxing.
