 Triangle Java Users Group presents:

   Functional Programming in Java: red pill and blue pill approaches

 Presented by:

   Shawn Hartsock

 Monday March 19, 2012
 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
 Red Hat/Raleigh
 1801 Varsity Drive, Raleigh, NC
 TriJUG (http://trijug.org) meetings are hosted by JBoss

 Presentation summary:

   In this talk, we will take some existing code and refactor it to keep it
DRY.
  We remove code duplication by introducing Functional Programming
techniques
  into our standard Java code. Learn how to create cheap Lambdas in Java
using
  standard Java syntax. Learn how Functional style Programming can help us
to
  create code that has less repetition, fewer places to leak, and fewer
moving parts
  to track.
