The Definitive Guide to Lambda Expressions
Mastering Lambdas: Java Programming in a Multicore World describes how the lambda-related features of Java SE 8 will enable Java to meet the challenges of next-generation parallel hardware architectures.

You'll learn how to use lambda expressions to take full advantage of performance improvements provided by today's multicore hardware. This Oracle Press book covers:
- Why lambdas were needed, and how they will change Java programming
- Syntax of lambda expressions
- The basic operation of streams and pipelines
- Using collectors and reduction to end pipelines
- Creating streams
- Spliterators, the fork/join framework, and exceptions
