This is a really nice overview of the new Java 8 features. I like how this tutorial communicates mostly with code snippets and has &quot;read more&quot; links for most topics.<p>If you are using Java and have not tried Lambda Expressions, method references and default methods, do so now! After that, you&#x27;ll think &quot;How was I able to live without that?&quot;.<p>I also think that the way Java integrates lambda expressions (via functional interfaces) is really nice. Sure, you have to write some boilerplate code in some scenarios. But since they re-used interfaces and did not event some &quot;function&quot; type (or similar), it fits really nicely into the existing language.<p>If you don&#x27;t know Java, this tutorial will probably not be enough - But that probably wasn&#x27;t the intentian anyway. It&#x27;s a great intro to what has changed with Java 8 (and all those changes are real improvements for the Java language, IMHO).
