Klaus Kreft helped putting together the material, reviewed the lambda tutorial, and provided invaluable feedback and support. 

A number of individuals at Oracle patiently answered questions I posed regarding lambda expressions and streams.  My thanks to Brian Goetz, Maurizio Cimadamore, and Paul Sandoz.
