Mastering the Gang of Four design patterns will help you create better Java applications that are more robust and easy to maintain. This course, Implementing design patterns using Java 8 Lambda will show you how to use the Java 8 tools to create better code. It is easier to read and has better performance. These tools provide several functional programming paradigms for Java, including partial application and function composition. Using several examples, including the Comparator API, you'll see how these tools can be used to improve JDK. Next, you'll see how to use the same approach for several patterns using live demo examples. This includes the Factory, Builder, Singleton and Registry. The Visitor pattern will be implemented in a non-intrusive and functional way. You will also learn how to create your own Validator that is functional and fluent. These techniques will allow you to create readable, performant, and flexible Java applications.
