Functional Kotlin

Getting Started with Functional Programming

Functional programming has been making big waves in the software industry for the last five years, and everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. Functional programming is a lot older, starting in the 1950s with Lisp being considered the first programming language (or at least, the first one to introduce functional features) which still exists as Common Lisp, and other dialects such as Scheme and Clojure.

In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:

  • What is functional programming?
  • Basic concepts
  • Functional collections
  • Implementing a functional list

Description

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, Koltin 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.

En general muy superficial, demasiado centrado en el lenguaje en si. Esperaba que se centrara mas en como usar Kotlin funcionalmente en vez de explicar el lenguaje en si. Solo los dos ultimos capitulos merecen la pena y son mas cortos que el resto.
