Book Description
This book is a hands-on programming guide for Java developers who want to gain practical, production-ready knowledge of Kotlin. Whether you’re maintaining Java systems or adopting Kotlin for Android, backend, or cross-platform projects, it will help you bridge the gap by building on your existing understanding of Java’s syntax and design principles.
You’ll begin by learning why Kotlin was created and how it improves on Java – exploring types, expressions, control flow, and null handling while mapping each concept to familiar Java constructs. Each topic is introduced with clear purpose, showing how Kotlin’s concise syntax, safety features, and expressive APIs lead to cleaner, more maintainable code.
As you progress, you’ll master object-oriented and functional programming, extension functions, smart casting, and interoperability with Java. The second half of the book dives into generics, data and sealed classes, coroutines for concurrency, and DSL design – demonstrating when and why to use these features to build scalable, elegant solutions.
By the end, you’ll not only write idiomatic Kotlin but also understand the reasoning behind its design, enabling you to craft modern, reliable applications with confidence.
What you will learn
- Write Kotlin programs using variables, functions, and control flow
- Model real-world data with classes, properties, and constructors
- Handle missing data safely with nullable types and safe calls
- Simplify logic using lambdas and extension functions
- Work with Kotlin collections and sequences to process data efficiently
- Use Kotlin with Java, Gradle, and Maven for seamless project builds
- Write non-blocking code using coroutines and Async flows
- Create custom DSL for your projects
Who this book is for
This book is for software developers who are proficient in Java and want to learn Kotlin for professional application development. It’s especially relevant for Android engineers, JVM backend developers, and full-stack programmers who maintain or extend Java systems. Familiarity with core Java syntax and object-oriented programming is expected.

Descripción de la tienda
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
