Mastering Lambdas is an excellent book about Lambdas and Streams, introduced in Java 8. Despite their presence in the title, Lambdas occupy only about the first quarter of the book. The major part describes Streams: how to use them, how to create them, and how to terminate them using Collectors and Reducers.
I recommend this book to both beginners and advanced users. Beginners can use the book as a step-by-step introduction to the functionality of Lambda and Streams. Advanced readers learn how to develop Spliterators to generate streams as well as custom Collectors and Reducers.
🎧 Suitable as an audiobook? No, due to numerous diagrams and code examples.
