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

}
Following is what you need for this book: This book is aimed at beginner and intermediate Kotlin developers who are looking to improve their understanding of the language, as well as experienced Java developers looking for simple, practical examples of how to solve familiar problems using Kotlin.
