Kotlin Design Patterns and Best Practices: Elevate your Kotlin skills with classical and modern design patterns, coroutines, and microservices

ive deep into Kotlin design patterns, explore idiomatic functional programming, and master microservices with frameworks like Arrow, Ktor, and Vert.x.Key FeaturesStart from basic Kotlin syntax and go all the way to advanced topics like Coroutines and structural concurrencyLearn how to select and implement the right design pattern for your next Kotlin projectGet to grips with concurrent and reactive microservices with Ktor and Vert.xBook DescriptionFor developers who are working with design patterns in Kotlin, this practical guide offers an opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. The book covers classical and modern design patterns, and provides a hands-on approach to implementation, along with associated methodologies.The third edition stays current with Kotlin updates, spanning from version 1.6 onwards, and offers in-depth insights into topics like structured concurrency and context receivers. The book starts by introducing essential[...]Kotlin syntax and the significance of design patterns, covering classic Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns. It then progresses to explore functional programming, Reactive, and Concurrent patterns, including detailed discussions on coroutines and structured concurrency. As you navigate through these advanced concepts, you'll enhance your Kotlin coding skills. The book also delves into the latest architectural trends, focusing on microservices design patterns and aiding your decision-making process when choosing between architectures.By the end of the book, you will have a solid grasp of these advanced concepts and be able to apply them in your own projects.What you will learnUtilize functional programming and coroutines with the Arrow frameworkUse classical design patterns in the Kotlin programming languageScale your applications with reactive and concurrent design patternsDiscover best practices in Kotlin and explore its new featuresApply the key principles of functional programming to KotlinFind out how to write idiomatic Kotlin code and learn which patterns to avoidHarness the power of Kotlin to design concurrent and reliable systems with easeCreate an effective microservice with Kotlin and the Ktor framework
