I’m half way through “The Joy of Kotlin” and I’m finding it an excellent resource for doing functional programming in Kotlin - loads of exercises building standard FP persistent data structures and algebraic data types, like Either etc, and their combinators from scratch https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Kotlin-Pierre-Yves-Saumont/dp/1617295361

does anyone here already read antonio kotlin books? @here

Hi guys, I came across CommonsWare books. Is that good as it looks?

Coworker just asked this:

I'm looking for learning resources as an experienced PHP developer trying to understand the subtleties of working with the JVM.  For example, PHP has essentially no concept of multithreading and asynchronous programming, while it seems pretty important to JVM development.  Does anyone have suggestions?

They are just starting to use kotlin on the backend and ran into some performance w/their impl of coroutines. Any recommendations?

Hi, any recommendation for a book Spring Boot with Kotlin and tests? please?

Please tell Google to update the code lab for jetpack compose https://developer.android.com/courses/pathways/compose It is not working now Because the code is old and there are many huge changes in the framework jetpack compose Google should update the code

Any suggestions on a good supplement book while learning Compose & Compose for Desktop? I'm assuming one on Declarative Paradigm, MVVM/MVI, or Kotlin syntax in general might be beneficial? I would like to avoid dealing with books that focus on different logic than what will be implemented when using Compose as a framework(for now that is!). Printing out documentation is also an option. Thanks!

Heya 👋🏻 I started to write a series of blogs talking about how to organize the business requirements, how to choose the right software architecture and presentation pattern for your app, how to organize your work, and more.

New edition of the foundational book for beginners to Android is out! 4th Edition of Android Apprentice 🎉

should I learn about compose, why do we even have this ? Do you think compose is really going to be popular and mainstream ?

Does anyone know any good books that can help me learn about the Kotlin standard library instead of looking through documentation?

I want to become a Coroutines expert. I would like a resource (strongly prefer a book) that starts from the basics, and thoroughly goes until the very end. I found this book but it was published in July 2018, and I feel like a lot has changed, and am worried about learning out of date information. I took the tutorial on the Kotlin website, but I felt it went too fast on certain ideas, and didn't expound enough. I also learn better from many worked examples, as is common in books. I also want something more comprehensive than those tutorials. Any tips?

Hi Sam, you can also take a look into below books: 1. https://leanpub.com/coroutines 2. https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Android-Kotlin-Structured-Concurrency-dp-1492063002 IMO, the first one approach by hand-on step by step to explain the concept, The second one will be good choice if you have Android background with detail explain about evolution from Thread to high level API specific in Android context

Hi! I'd like to start with Kotlin, I prefer to learn through books. Do you recommend some books? I'm a Java Developer looking for some fresh air and a new way to do things, as far as I know, Kotlin has multiple new concepts related to functional programming

Is there a book on Kotlin of equivalent importance to Effective Java? Something that is a “must read” for advanced level?

I've just published “Functional Programming Ideas for the Curious Kotliner” https://leanpub.com/fp-ideas-kotlin

Kotlin lies in a really interesting intersection of programming styles, with functional programming becoming increasingly popular. Functional style is by no means new, so why not take advantage of the decades of ideas, concepts, and patterns from that community? In this book we explore those ideas with a higher impact on Kotlin code, including how to model data in immutable fashion, describing dependencies using contexts and effects, or treating actions as data.

What is the best Kotlin book for Android developers with practical samples ?

congratulations.. just bought it

Can anyone recommend a good book that analyses programming language features like type safety, null-safety etc. (hopefully one of the languages is Kotlin) and how they apply/don’t apply in the said languages with real life use cases?

I’m looking for books on distributed system design that do not deal with various data races and failure condition naively.

As far as Kotlin books, an advanced book on concurrency that deal with non-trivial cases like how to deal with resource disposal in flows.
