책소개

Kotlin has been making waves ever since it was open sourced by JetBrains in 2011; it has been praised by developers across the world and is already being adopted by companies. This book provides a detailed introduction to Kotlin that shows you all its features and will enable you to write Kotlin code to production.

We start with the basics: get you familiar with running Kotlin code, setting up, tools, and instructions that you can use to write basic programs. Next, we cover object oriented code: functions, lambdas, and properties - all while using Kotlin's new features.

Then, we move on to null safety aspects and type parameterization. We show you how to destructure expressions and even write your own. We also take you through important topics like testing, concurrency, microservices, and a whole lot more. By the end of this book you will be able to compose different services and build your own applications.

출판사 서평

▶Editorial Review
Kotlin is typically associated with Android development, and most discussion about it revolves gravitates around that. But the language has much more to offer and is ideal for modern server side developers. While any Android developer will find useful snippets in this book, the book is targeting Java and Scala developers primarily. The book will start with a introduction to Kotlin and explain how you set up your environment before moving on to the basic concepts. Once the basics are out of the way, the focus will shift towards more advanced concepts, and don't be surprised if you see a few bytecode listings. Once you have completed the book you should have all the knowledge required to start using Kotlin for your next project.
