This is the code repository for Mastering Kotlin , published by Packt.
Learn advanced Kotlin programming techniques to build apps for Android, iOS, and the web
Using Kotlin without taking advantage of its power and interoperability is like owning a sports car and never taking it out of the garage. While documentation and introductory resources can help you learn the basics of Kotlin, the fact that it’s a new language means that there are limited learning resources and code bases available in comparison to Java and other established languages.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Model data using interfaces, classes, and data classes
- Grapple with practical interoperability challenges and solutions with Java
- Build parallel apps using concurrency solutions such as coroutines
- Explore functional, reactive, and imperative programming to build flexible apps
- Discover how to build your own domain-specific language Embrace functional programming using the standard library and Arrow Delve into the use of Kotlin for frontend JavaScript development Build server-side services using Kotlin and Ktor
