Enhance your programming toolkit and build robust applications by mastering Kotlin. This book connects Java and Kotlin through side-by-side code samples and practical demonstrations.

Java programmers and up-and-coming developers seeking to learn Kotlin need to do so with confidence. Starting with the fundamentals of basic syntax, this book will cover data types, variables, control flow statements. From there move on to advanced topics like object-oriented programming concepts with null safety, lambdas, functions, inheritance and coroutines.

Additionally, you’ll delve into practical applications such as designing custom domain-specific languages, working with Kotlin Multiplatform, and leveraging reactive extensions. With numerous hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you'll gain the expertise needed to explore advanced projects.

You will:

• Explore object-oriented and functional programming with Kotlin to create modular code.
• Review Kotlin’s techniques for error handling and exception management.
• Implement Kotlin coroutines for efficient concurrency and asynchronous task management.
Design custom domain-specific languages and use the Kotlin standard library for string manipulation and file handling.
