This book introduces the Kotlin programming skills and techniques necessary for building applications. You'll learn how to migrate your Java programming skills to Kotlin, a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) programming language. The book starts with a quick tour of the Kotlin language and gradually walks you through the language in greater detail over the course of succeeding chapters. You’ll learn Kotlin fundamentals like generics, functional programming, type system, debugging, and unit testing. Additionally, with the book’s freely downloadable online appendices, you’ll discover how to use Kotlin for building Spring Boot applications, data persistence, and microservices.

Kotlin is a new language that targets the Java platform; its programs run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine ), which puts it in the company of languages like Groovy, Scala, Jython, and Clojure, to name a few. Kotlin is not very different from Java . Kotlin introduced some new language features, but I’m sure you’ll find that Kotlin and Java are more similar than they are different. This is good news if you’re a Java programmer because it means the learning curve for Kotlin is not steep.

What You Will Learn:
Learn the Kotlin language, its functions, types, collections, generics, classes, and more
Dive into higher-order functions, generics, debugging, and unit testing
Apply the fundamentals of Kotlin to Spring Boot
Add Hibernate to your Spring Boot application for persistence and data accessibility
Take advantage of functional programming available in Kotlin

Who This Book Is For:
Java developers who are new to Kotlin and want to leverage Kotlin, particularly for building Spring Boot apps.
