Functional KotlinKotlin is a powerful language that has already revolutionized Android and backend development, but it also has powerful support for functional programming. Its amazing features, like functional collection processing, DSL builders, scope functions, or context receivers, help developers achieve intuitive and expressive functional syntax. Additionally, Kotlin's extensibility allows libraries like Arrow to promote an even more functional style, all while keeping proper type safety, stability, and performance. Thanks to all this, Kotlin has become the promised land for many developers who are passionate about functional programming in real-life applications. About the bookThis book is about Kotlin's functional programming features. It covers the essentials first and then builds on them. It presents important and practical topics like collection processing, function references, scope functions, DSL usage and creation, and context receivers.Who this book is forThis book is perfect for developers who know the basics of Kotlin and want to learn more advanced features. Math knowledge is NOT required to understand and benefit from this book. It is a natural continuation of Kotlin for Developers: Essentials.What is coveredThis book focuses on Kotlin's functional features, including: function types, anonymous functions, lambda expressions, function references, functional interfaces, collection processing functions, sequences, DSL usage and creation, scope functions, the essentials of the Arrow library.

Kotlin is a powerful language, largely thanks to its expressive syntax, intuitive and null-safe type system, and great tooling support. It's no wonder that Kotlin is the most popular language for Android development and is a popular replacement for Java on backend applications. It is also used for data science and for multiplatform, iOS, desktop, and web application development.About the bookThis book covers the essentials of Kotlin so you can start developing with this amazing programming language. It shows nearly everything you need to know in clear and executable code examples.Who this book is forThis book is for developers with experience in other programming languages. Specifically, experience with an object-oriented programming language (such as Java, JavaScript, Python, or C++) would be beneficial to the reader.What is coveredThis book focuses on the essential Kotlin features, including: variables, values, and types, conditional statements and loops, support for nullability, classes, interfaces, and inheritance, object expressions and declarations, data, sealed, enum, and annotation classes, extension functions, collections, operator overloading, the type system, generics.
