In this workshop I would like to explain the most significant features with working code and prepared examples. As a reference, you will get a GIT repository with all snippets and solutions, as well as prepared sample applications.

A developer laptop with pre-installed 1.8 is optional. You can run the examples if you like, or "hack" along with me, but taking notes is perfectly viable as well.

We will spend 50% of the time with code and the other half discussing the new APIs and features.
