In Detail

Functional programming makes your application faster, improves performance, and increases your productivity. Kotlin supports many of the popular and advanced functional features of functional languages. This book will cover the A-Z of functional programming in Kotlin. This book bridges the language gap for Kotlin developers by showing you how to create and consume functional constructs in Kotlin. We also bridge the domain gap by showing how functional constructs can be applied in business scenarios. We''ll take you through lambdas, pattern matching, immutability, and help you develop a deep understanding of the concepts and practices of functional programming. If you want learn to address problems using Recursion, Kotlin has support for it as well. You''ll also learn how to use the funKtionale library to perform currying and lazy programming and more. Finally, you''ll learn functional design patterns and techniques that will make you a better programmer. By the end of the book, you will be more confident in your functional programming skills and will be able to apply them while programming in Kotlin.

Style and approach

Loaded with numerous code examples and real life projects, this book helps you dive deep into Functional Programming with Kotlin as well as applying it with help of Functional Programming Plugins like funkTionale and RxKotlin.
