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.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
