Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming with Kotlin

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming

Object-oriented programming is one of the most famous and practical software-development techniques. Traditional procedural programming is tedious and prone to error, especially when it comes to the development of large and complex applications. In this chapter, we will provide a quick introduction to object-oriented programming and its benefits. We will also try to understand why the object-oriented approach is easy to grasp and how it is similar to human nature. We will learn about classes, objects, and constructor declarations. By the end of this chapter, we will be familiar with properties, behaviors, function overloading, the concept of data classes, and how data classes can help to improve application development.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Object-oriented programming
  • Syntax of class declaration
  • The...

Object-oriented programming?

In our day-to-day life, we deal with a number of different objects. Some of these objects talk to us, some move on the road, and some fly in the sky. We naturally observe everything about the characteristics and behaviors of these objects. As an example, let's think about an object with the following properties: it has a couple of doors, four wheels, one steering wheel, brakes, gears, and an engine, it moves on the road, stops when the brakes are applied, and turns left or right when the steering wheel moves. Based on these attributes and behaviors, we can carry out a classification of this object – it belongs to a class called Car. In programming, the technique to design and build an application by focusing on objects that interact with each other is known as object-oriented programming. In the object-oriented paradigm, class and object...

  • Learn to write asynchronous, non-blocking codes with Kotlin coroutines
  • Explore Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction in Kotlin

Description

Kotlin is an object-oriented programming language. The book is based on the latest version of Kotlin. The book provides you with a thorough understanding of programming concepts, object-oriented programming techniques, and design patterns. It includes numerous examples, explanation of concepts and keynotes. Where possible, examples and programming exercises are included. The main purpose of the book is to provide a comprehensive coverage of Kotlin features such as classes, data classes, and inheritance. It also provides a good understanding of design pattern and how Kotlin syntax works with object-oriented techniques. You will also gain familiarity with syntax in this book by writing labeled for loop and when as an expression. An introduction to the advanced concepts such as sealed classes and package level functions and coroutines is provided and we will also learn how these concepts can make the software development easy. Supported libraries for serialization, regular expression and testing are also covered in this book. By the end of the book, you would have learnt building robust and maintainable software with object oriented design patterns in Kotlin.

I had previous experience with Kotlin and wanted to get a more in depth view of the landguage. However the book doesn't go very deep at all, it goes over many subjects quite briefly.If you're an absolute Kotlin beginner then it's good I guess, if not you might learn something, but don't expect a good return for the invested time.

Même si la structure est intéressante, ce livre a un énorme défaut, il est plein de fautes de frappe ou d'erreurs de code. Quand on traite de code informatique, ce sont des erreurs inacceptables; on a l'impression que ce n'est pas un informaticien qui a relu. Ces erreurs changent parfois le sens du code, des inversions de paramètres, des méthodes inexistantes, et j'en passe. Si on a un background de développeur, on arrive à corriger par soi même, mais je ne recommande pas ce livre comme méthode d'apprentissage au langage Kotlin.
