 n \nHere's what you have in store this month:\n \nHello Java 8 - wit
 h Adam Davis\nJava 8 is a giant step forward for the Java language. I
 n Project Lambda, Java gets a new closure syntax (lambda expressions),
  method-references, and default and static methods on interfaces. It m
 anages to add many of the features of functional languages without los
 ing the clarity and simplicity Java developers have come to expect. In
  addition, many of the existing Java core library classes have been en
 hanced with the new Streams API.  Aside from Project Lambda, Java 8 al
 so gets a new Date and Time API (JSR 310), the Nashorn JavaScript engi
 ne, and removes the Permanent Generation from the HotSpot virtual mach
 ine, among other changes.  This talk will (hopefully) help you underst
 and what's new in Java 8 and why you should use it.     Adam Davis ma
 kes software. He's spent many years developing in Java (since Java 1.2
 ) and has enjoyed using Spring and Hibernate. Lately he's been using G
 roovy and Grails in addition to Java to create SaaS web applications t
 hat help track finances for large institutions. Adam has a Masters and
  a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech.\n \nAdam j
 ust published a book about Java 8 - take a peek at it online here - it
 's awesome: https://leanpub.com/u/adamldavis\n\nThe book is not free 
 but you can read it free online!\n\nAs always, we hope to see you ther
