Description

For developers who are working with design patterns in Kotlin, this practical guide offers an opportunity to put their knowledge into practice. The book covers classical and modern design patterns, and provides a hands-on approach to implementation, along with associated methodologies. The third edition stays current with Kotlin updates, spanning from version 1.6 onwards, and offers in-depth insights into topics like structured concurrency and context receivers. The book starts by introducing essential Kotlin syntax and the significance of design patterns, covering classic Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns. It then progresses to explore functional programming, Reactive, and Concurrent patterns, including detailed discussions on coroutines and structured concurrency. As you navigate through these advanced concepts, you'll enhance your Kotlin coding skills. The book also delves into the latest architectural trends, focusing on microservices design patterns and aiding your decision-making process when choosing between architectures. By the end of the book, you will have a solid grasp of these advanced concepts and be able to apply them in your own projects.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who want to apply design patterns they've learned from other languages in Kotlin and build reliable, scalable, and maintainable applications. You'll need a good grasp on at least one programming language before you get started with this book. Familiarity with classical design patterns from your language of choice would be helpful, but you'll still be able to follow along if you code in other languages

What you will learn

If you're a Kotlin developer looking to step up your game, this book is a must-read. It's a treasure trove of knowledge, whether you're just starting out or you've been coding in Kotlin for a while.What's great about this book is how it explains design patterns in a way that's easy to understand. Soshin takes tricky concepts and breaks them down into bite-sized pieces, so you don't get lost in the technical jargon. The book covers a wide variety of design patterns, giving you practical examples of how to use them in your Kotlin projects.But it's not just about design patterns. This book also dives into the best ways to write Kotlin code, covering things like functional programming, handling multiple tasks at once, and dealing with errors. It even uses real-world examples to show you how these ideas work in practice.Now, if you're completely new to Kotlin, some parts might feel a bit advanced. It's a good idea to have a basic grasp of the language before tackling the trickier stuff.All in all, "Kotlin Design Patterns and Best Practices" is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to write cleaner, more efficient Kotlin code. It's packed with useful information and practical tips, making it a valuable addition to any Kotlin developer's bookshelf.

Found it Good. Justifying its Cover Title and content in each chapter are good too.

This book has a detailed explanation on different design patterns and their implementation in kotlin. More specifically this book focus on various interesting features and aspects provided by kotlin itself. If you to sharpen your design pattern knowledge with kotlin ecosystem then obviously this book is for you.

Disclaimer: I received a review copy of this book for free.TLDR: This is a great book that covers both what makes Kotlin cool, and how to create succinct, maintainable code that utilizes all of Kotlin’s features. It explains things well and contains great information. I would highly recommend this book to people who already know a bit about programming and are looking to create better code and possibly learn the awesome language that is Kotlin.Throughout this book, I have greatly increased my knowledge of both Kotlin and design patterns. I am currently a junior at the University of Utah studying computer science, so I have experience working with code. I have never studied traditional design patterns, however, so this book was a great resource for me in expanding my toolset for creating maintainable and readable code. Everything in this book was taught succinctly yet was very understandable, containing ample examples of the ideas presented. It not only covers the traditional design patterns outlined by the gang of four but also digs into the wonders of functional programming. Most of my schooling has been on object-oriented programming, yet I have always been curious about functional programming. This book has scratched that itch, teaching you the incredible benefits of functional programming and its implementation, as well as the pros and cons of the method. It bridges the divide between object-oriented and functional design patterns incredibly well, something that is often missed by functional evangelists.This book is also a great resource in learning kotlin itself. The book guides you through the syntax and features of kotlin throughout the entire book, showing how kotlin lends itself well to many different design patterns. It emphasizes Kotlin's multi-paradigm nature and shows off both its object-oriented and functional prowess. It discusses awesome features like scoping functions, extension functions, functions as first class objects, and many other features. This book not only serves as a great resource on design patterns, but also a manual on how to use kotlin effectively that blows the kotlin documentation out of the water. Throughout its 12 chapters it manages to teach you everything you need to know about the language. This emphasis on kotlin does not detract from the teaching of design patterns, however, but instead allows practical examples of each pattern to be shown. It provides you with a basis to explore and explain complex design patterns in an obtainable way.The book in places does seem to gloss over some topics that would be foreign to complete programming beginners, so I think that you should not get this book if you have not had any experience programming in Kotlin or another language. It assumes that you already know the basics of programming, like classes, functions, inheritance, variable scope, etc. It is designed as a resource for writing better code, not learning how to code.The 414 pages of this book took me about 3 full days to read, but never became a slog. The book continuously throws interesting topics at you but never stays on one for longer than it needs to. I almost never can read textbooks, but this one managed to keep my attention like no other.In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about creating maintainable and readable code while also exploring the awesome language that is Kotlin.

Overall this book is good - a mix between learning kotlin as well as general purpose design principles. Even for experienced kotlin devs with a few years there is still content here left to learn.
