Book DescriptionFor developers who prefer a more simplistic approach to coding, Kotlin has emerged as a valuable solution for effective software development. The Kotlin standard library provides vital tools that make day-to-day Kotlin programming easier. This library features core attributes of the language, such as algorithmic problems, design patterns, data processing, and working with files and data streams. With a recipe-based approach, this book features coding solutions that you can readily execute. Through the book, you'll encounter a variety of interesting topics related to data processing, I/O operations, and collections transformation. You'll get started by exploring the most effective design patterns in Kotlin and understand how coroutines add new features to JavaScript. As you progress, you'll learn how to implement clean, reusable functions and scalable interfaces containing default implementations. Toward the concluding chapters, you'll discover recipes on functional programming concepts, such as lambdas, monads, functors, and Kotlin scoping functions, which will help you tackle a range of real-life coding problems. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the expertise you need to address a range of challenges that Kotlin developers face by implementing easy-to-follow solutions.What you will learn
Work with ranges, progressions, and sequences in use cases
Add new functionalities to current classes with Kotlin extensions
Understand elements such as lambdas, closures, and monads
Build a REST API consumer with Retrofit and a coroutine adapter
Discover useful tips and solutions for creating Android projects
Explore the benefits of standard library features
Who this book is forThis book is for software developers who are familiar with Kotlin's basics and want to discover more advanced features and concepts, especially those provided by the Kotlin standard library. Experienced software developers familiar with the functional programming paradigm and other programming languages who want to switch to Kotlin will also find this book useful. It will also help Java developers looking to switch to Kotlin and integrate it into existing Java Virtual Machine (JVM) projects.
