Hi,
Who is this book aimed at? An experienced developer who is already familiar with Lamdas, etc or some one looking to learn them? Does it add any more than the Oracle tutorials?

Hi Will,

Thank you for the question.

This book no where near covers what is in the Java Tutorials, relative to any topic.

In 210 pages, the book only attempts to guide the user in answering basic Java-related questions as accurately and quickly as possible.

The audience of the book targets anyone in the Java space, that is programmers and developers, but the J8PG should only be used as a supplemental resource.

Thanks again for the question,
-- Robert
