Kotlin Indepth [VolII]: A comprehensive guide to modern multiparadigm language (English Edition),Used

Master the concise and expressive power of a pragmatic multiparadigm language for JVM, Android and beyondKey Features Language fundamentals Objectoriented and functional programming with Kotlin Kotlin standard library Building domainspecific languages Using Kotlin for Web development Kotlin for Android platform Coroutinebased concurrencyDescriptionThe purpose of this book is to guide a reader through the capabilities of the Kotlin language and give examples of using it for development of various applications be it desktop, mobile or Web. Although our primary focus is on the JVM and Android, the knowledge were sharing here to various extents applies to other Kotlinsupported platforms such as JavaScript, native and even multiplatform applications.The book starts with an introduction to language and its ecosystem that will give you an understanding of the key ideas behind Kotlin design, introduce you to the Kotlin tooling and present you the basic language syntax and constructs. In the next chapters well get to know the multiparadigm nature of Kotlin which allows you to create powerful abstractions by combining various aspects of functional and objectoriented programming. Well talk about using common Kotlin APIs such as the standard library, reflection, and coroutinebased concurrency as well as the means for creating your own flexible APIs based on domainspecific languages. In the concluding chapters, well give examples of using Kotlin for more specialized tasks such as testing, building Android applications, Web development and creating microservices.What will you learnBy the end of the book, youll obtain a thorough knowledge of all basic aspects of Kotlin programming. Youll be able to create a flexible and reusable code by taking advantage of objectoriented and functional features, use Kotlin standard library, compose your own domainspecific languages, write asynchronous code using Kotlin coroutines library as well. Youll also have a basic understanding of using Kotlin for writing test code, web applications and Android development. This knowledge will also give you a solid foundation for deeper learning of related development platforms, tools and frameworks.Who this book is forThe book is primarily aimed at developers familiar with Java and JVM and willing to get a firm understanding of Kotlin while having little to no experience in that language. Discussion of various language features will be accompanied, if deemed necessary, by comparisons with their Javas analogs which should simplify JavatoKotlin transition. Most of the material, however, is rather Javaagnostic and should be beneficial even without prior Java knowledge. In general, experience in objectoriented or functional paradigm is a plus, but not required.Table of Contents10. Annotations and Reflection11. DomainSpecific Languages12. Java Interoperability13.
