Java Lambda Expressions #1 - The Basics

Java Lambda Expressions are the closest you get in Java to having functions as objects. Java lambda expressions are similar to anonymous implementations of single method interfaces, but with a more concise syntax. Java lambda expressions are great for implementing small event listeners, callbacks, or for functional programming in Java, e.g. with the Java streams API.

There are several additional details to Java Lambda Expressions not covered here. They will be covered in subsequent videos.

Here is a full, textual version of my Java Lambda Expression tutorial:
