This month’s Java Magazine features an article by me, Ben Evans and Martijn Verburg about the new lambdas coming in Java 8. The aim of the article is to give an overview to normal, human Java developers, who don’t need to know the theory behind what they are or how they work under the covers, but want to know how to use them when they get the shiny new version of Java next year (or even get ahead of the curve and try them now).
