Java 5 introduced generics capabilities to the language, and for most developers, simply knowing that collections were typed was enough to get them through the day. However, one look at the standard library in Java 8 tells you those days are over. To be an effective Java developer now, you must understand the details of generics and how they are used in Java 8. Designed for the intermediate level Java user, this video explores how generic classes and methods are defined, how they enforce bounded types through wildcards, and how you can use them in your own code.
