4280 Outline

1. Functional Interfaces, Type Inference, and Function-Like Objects
   • What is a Functional Interface?
   • The package java.util.function
   • Creating Comparators and Custom Sorting
   • Binary Operators
2. The New FileIO Interface: java.nio.file This section will eventually replace the material on java.io in 4240.
   • The Path to Perdtion and the interface Path
   • The Static Service Class Files
   • Reading Text Files
   • Reading Binary Files
3. GUIs
   • Stages
   • Layouts and Panes
   • Nodes, Controls and the Scene Graph
   • Event Handling
4. Data Structures From the Inside. Here you learn how to build a data structure and you see that the same structure can be built with different internal mechanisms.
   • Stacks: Two Implementations
   • Implementing Iterable
   • Project: Two Implementations of a List
   • Project: The HiPPoPotamus Calculator: RPN logic
5. The Collections Framework and java.util.Function
   • Maps
   • Sets
   • Queues
   • The Static Service Class Collections
   • JavaFX collections and the Observable Interface
6. The Collections Framework: Using Data Structures from the Standard Libraries. Time to meet Java's standard container classes.
   • The static service class Collections
   • Lists
   • Maps
   • Using TableView
7. The Streams API
   • Sources: Stream<T>, DoubleStream, IntStream, LongStream String.chars(), BufferedReader.lines() and FileIO,
   • Transformers: distinct, filter, flatMap, map, mapToInt, mapToDouble, mapToLong, limit, skip, sorted
   • Terminal Operations: findFirst, count, forEach, allMatch, anyMatch, noneMatch, reduce, collect, Collectors.toList() and friends
