This is the code repository for Hands-on-Design-Patterns-with-Kotlin, published by Packt.
Build scalable applications using traditional, reactive, and concurrent design patterns in Kotlin
Design patterns enable you as a developer to speed up the development process by providing you with proven development paradigms. Reusing design patterns helps prevent complex issues that can cause major problems, improves your code base, promotes code reuse, and makes an architecture more robust.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Get to grips with Kotlin principles, including its strengths and weaknesses
- Understand classical design patterns in Kotlin
- Explore functional programming using built-in features of Kotlin
- Solve real-world problems using reactive and concurrent design patterns
- Use threads and coroutines to simplify concurrent code flow

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
var s = "I'm a string"
s = 1 // s is a String
Following is what you need for this book: This book is for developers who would like to master design patterns with Kotlin to build efficient and scalable applications. Basic Java or Kotlin programming knowledge is assumed.
