From Groovy To Java 8

Java 8 sports the latest and greatest features of the JVM platform, and introduces new concepts
of asynchronous programming and Lambdas, amongst other syntactic improvements to the
language. Many of the language's upcoming features are concepts and constructs that Groovy
programmers have been familiar with for years.

This talk will discuss the upcoming features of Java 8, their practical implementations, and will discuss the new features in terms that developers familiar with Groovy can understand and immediately relate to.
