Java 8 Finding Specific Element in List with Lambda

As you probably know in Java 8 we can use Lambda expression for different manipulations with collections.

If you have a List with some custom objects inside and you want to find specific element in it you can use stream().filter procedure of Lambda instead of ForEach as you probably used to. Below is a simple example of this case.

Now ask Google «how to become a software developer." Answers like that I used, are reduced to vague platitudes: "learn a programming language," "Participate in the creation of open source," "join the local community of programmers." 

There is no clear plan for building a career or any guarantees about when or whether you will become a professional at all, not a word about how you will manage to get a paying job in the future!
