About the Technology
Developers want to get work done - and the less hassle, the better.
Coding with Kotlin means less hassle. The Kotlin programming
language offers an expressive syntax, a strong intuitive type system,
and great tooling support along with seamless interoperability with
existing Java code, libraries, and frameworks. Kotlin can be
compiled to Java bytecode, so you can use it everywhere Java is
used, including Android. And with an effi cient compiler and a
small standard library, Kotlin imposes virtually no runtime
overhead.
About the Book
Kotlin in Action teaches you to use the Kotlin language for
production-quality applications. Written for experienced Java
developers, this example-rich book goes further than most language
books, covering interesting topics like building DSLs with natural
language syntax. The authors are core Kotlin developers, so you can
trust that even the gnarly details are dead accurate.
