About the technology

Coding with Kotlin means less hassle and more productivity. This JVM-based language offers an expressive syntax, a strong intuitive type system, and great tooling support--plus seamless interoperability with existing Java code, libraries, and frameworks. Kotlin is general purpose, safe, pragmatic, and the premier language of Android development. While the language has grown beyond its initial Java-centric focus, you can still use and integrate with your favorite Java tools and libraries, including Spring.

About the book

Kotlin in Action, Second Edition teaches you Kotlin techniques you can use for almost any type of application, from enterprise services to Android apps. The authors are all members of the Kotlin team, so you can trust that even the gnarly details are dead accurate. You'll start with Kotlin fundamentals, learning how the language handles everything from statements and functions to classes and types, and about its unique features that make Kotlin programming so seamless.

As you progress through this masterful book, you'll get hands-on with the Kotlin standard library, functional programming in Kotlin, and advanced features such as generics and reflection. And this updated second edition now covers coroutines and structured concurrency to help you create efficient high-performance applications.
