Functional Programming in Kotlin

Master techniques and concepts of functional programming to deliver safer, simpler, and more effective Kotlin code.
In Functional Programming in Kotlin you will learn:
• Functional programming techniques for real-world applications
• Write combinator libraries
• Common structures and idioms in functional design
• Simplicity and modularity (and fewer bugs!)
Functional Programming in Kotlin is a reworked version of the
bestselling Functional Programming in Scala, with all code samples,
instructions, and exercises translated into the powerful Kotlin
language. In this authoritative guide, you’ll take on the challenge of
learning functional programming from first principles. Complex concepts
are demonstrated through exercises that you’ll love to test yourself
against. You’ll start writing Kotlin code that’s easier to read, easier
to reuse, better for concurrency, and less prone to bugs and errors.
About the technology
Improve performance, increase maintainability, and eliminate bugs! How?
By programming the functional way. Kotlin provides strong support for
functional programming, taking a pragmatic approach that integrates well
with OO codebases. By applying the techniques you’ll learn in this
book, your code will be safer, less prone to errors, and much easier to
read and reuse.
About the book
Functional Programming in Kotlin teaches you how to design and write
Kotlin applications using typed functional programming. Offering clear
examples, carefully-presented explanations, and extensive exercises, it
moves from basic subjects like types and data structures to advanced
topics such as stream processing. This book is based on the bestseller
Functional Programming in Scala by Rúnar Bjarnason and Paul Chiusano.
