Overview
Many Java developers today are working on applications written before the release of Java SE 8. Even after Java 8 is adopted for new features, it’s likely that these legacy applications will not take full advantage of Java 8 without significant refactoring.
Description
In Refactoring to Modern Java LiveLessons, Java Champion Trisha Gee discusses the benefits of using Java 8 and shows how to identify code to refactor. She also demonstrates how Java 8 can improve performance and the benefits of applying Java 8 idioms. In this video training, Trisha provides hands-on techniques using a real application, Morphia, written in Java 6, to show when and how to apply the new features in Java 8 to an existing mature code base.

The code for this training can be found at https://github.com/mongodb/morphia. To view the code after the refactoring has been completed, see this branch: https://github.com/trishagee/morphia/tree/r2j8.

What You Will Learn
- Understand the benefits of refactoring to Java 8
- Determine what you need to have in place before refactoring
- Identify sections of code to refactor
- Refactor code automatically and through developer insight
- Measure performance of the code before and after refactoring
- Weigh the pros and cons of the changes to determine what to refactor
Java developers who are working on an existing system. From a technical point of view, this is suitable for junior and senior developers, but senior/lead developers and architects will find this talk useful to decide whether to apply these changes in their applications and to provide guidance to the rest of their teams.
