WingDing meeting on Sep 9, Functional Programming in Java

[Robert Kuhar [e-mail] [seajug]]

The WingDing Study Group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wingding)
continues our exploration of "Functional Programming in Java: Harnessing
the Power of Java 8 Lambda Expressions" by Venkat Subramaniam:
http://pragprog.com/book/vsjava8/functional-programming-in-java

The next meeting is...
Tuesday, Sep 9 7:00 to 9:00 PM

FlowPlay, Inc.
1008 Western Ave, Suite 300
Seattle, WA 98104

Functional Programming in Java will help you quickly get on top of the new,
essential Java 8 language features and the functional style that will
change and improve your code. This short, targeted book will help you make
the paradigm shift from the old imperative way to a less error-prone, more
elegant, and concise coding style that’s also a breeze to parallelize.

Piotr will moderate Chapter 7, Optimizing Recursions and Chapter 8,
Composing with Lambda Expressions.

We are nearing the end of this iteration so will be entertaining new topics
at our September 22nd meeting. One topic that is out there already is a
Docker dive. Anything else we should be talking about?

Bring some money if you would like to get in on the pizza (at the new
location, this should be interesting). All are welcome.

Bob

We are nearing the end of this iteration so will be entertaining new topics at our September 22nd meeting. One topic that is out there already is a Docker dive. Anything else we should be talking about?

Note that Dev9 is hosting a Docker meetup next week:

I'd like to propose "Java Performance: The Definitive Guide":

Some questions I'm interested in:

- Threading (at what point do I need to switch from synchronous
request handling to chaining futures or using actors?)
- How to do proper micro-benchmarks (e.g. with Caliper?)
- How to load test your application (e.g. with Gatling?)
