Next, we cover object oriented code: functions, lambdas, and properties – all while using Kotlin's new features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, we move on to null safety aspects and type parameterization. We show you how to destructure expressions and even write your own. We also take you through important topics like testing, concurrency, microservices, and a whole lot more. By the end of this book you will be able to compose different services and build your own applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and approach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn easy to follow guide that covers the full set of features in Kotlin programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168898531568,"sku":"9781787122659","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781787122659_p0.jpg?v=1763738305","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781787122659","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
