Pragmatic Functional Refactoring with Java 8
However, what does this mean for my existing codebase?
In this talk we show how you can refactor your traditional object-oriented Java to using FP features and APIs from Java 8 in a beneficial manner.
We will discuss:
How to adapt to requirement changes using first-class functions
How you can enhance code reusability using currying
How you can make your code more robust by favouring immutability over mutability
How you can design better APIs and reduce unintended null pointer exceptions using an optional data type"
