3.6: Listing the benefits of lambda expressions

Lesson 4: Filtering Collections with Lambdas
This lesson describes how

Performance, quality, and portability is increased using Lambdas and how we can filter results from collections
4.1: Iterating through a collection with forEach
4.2: Iterating through collection using lambda syntax
4.3: Describing the Stream interface
4.4: Iterating collection using lambda expressions
4.5: Calling an existing method using method reference
4.6: Chaining multiple methods together
4.7: Comparing function and imperative programming
4.8: Defining pipelines regarding lambdas and collections 

Lesson 5:  Using Built-in Lambda Types
Java SE 8 captured the common use cases and created a library of functions for them. A new package called java.util.function hosts these features:

5.1: Listing built-in interfaces included in java.util.function
5.2: Determining true or false with a Predicate
5.3: Generating a new object with Supplier
5.4: Using primitive versions of the base interfaces
5.5: Using binary versions of the interfaces

Lesson 6: Collection Operations with Lambda

This lesson explains 

6.1: Extracting data from an object using map
6.2: Searching for data using search methods
6.3: Describing the types of stream operations
6.4: Representing the Optional class  
6.5: Performing calculations using methods

Lesson 7: Parallel Streams
Streams allow you to program each item in a collection without having to write explicit code. Streams also divide the processing into multiple CPUs which results in significant performance improvement.

7.1: Identify the key characteristics of streams
7.2: Contrasting old style loop operations with streams
7.3: Learn to make a stream pipeline execute in parallel
7.4: Learn to use a parallel pipeline
7.5: Defining reduction and the need for associative function
7.6: Calculating a value using reduce
7.7: Describing the process for decomposing and then merging work

Lesson 8: Method Enhancements

8.2: Using static methods in Interfaces
8.3: Using default methods
8.4: Learning default method inheritance rules

Lesson 9: Using the Date/Time API
This lesson explains the new API available for managing dates and time. You learn

9.1: To use new classes that streamline code and increase the capabilities.
9.2: Programming with  local dates and time
9.3: Goals of Date/Time API (JSR-310)
9.4: Creating and managing date-based events
9.5: Creating and managing time-based events
9.6: Combining time and date to a single object
9.7: Working with Time Zones

4. What are the benefits of Java SE8 Training Course?    

Knowledge and clear understanding of Java Programming language
Develop platform independent applications quickly and 
Gain skills in competitive edge technology

5. What is the use of Lambda expressions?  

Functional interfaces use the Lambda expressions. They increase performance when used instead of anonymous inner classes because they are implemented using invoked dynamic instructions. Many of the standard JDK classes refactor using lambdas method.
