Quick Start Videos

Java 8 introduced a completely new way of working with data in Java with the Stream interface. In these quick-start videos you will see how easy it is to write database applications with Streams by using Speedment to generate the necessary entity and field classes.

(Spoiler: In the third video I explain why the performance will be just as good as a normal JDBC query!)
