Java 8 has been a boon for developers as it allows them to tap into the power of functional programming with techniques such as higher-order functions, composition, and lambda with streams. But if want to go to the next level of functional programming, this is often not enough.

For instance, for writing truly functional programs, standard Java collections lack the following desired properties -

• Immutable - Data structures cannot be modified once created
• Persistent - Structure should be kept in memory for as long as possible

Vavr is a functional library for Java that overcomes these limitations in Java 8 and above. It extends the features of Java 8 in such a way that it helps to reduce the amount of code and increase code quality. This webinar is going to talk about the Vavr library in detail and how it helps to integrate the features of Scala within Java 8. It will cover Functions, Values, Either, Option, Pattern Matching and Immutable collection.
