Key Features
Understand the structural, creational, and behavioral Kotlin design patterns
This book demonstrates the shift from OOP to functional programming and covers reactive and concurrent patterns in a clear and step-by-step manner
Explore different architectures like microservices and MVC and how to choose between them.

Book Description
Design patterns enable you as a developer to speed up the development process by providing tested, proven development paradigms. Reusing design patterns helps prevent complex issues that can cause major problems and improves your code base, promotes code reuse, and makes the architecture more robust.

The mission of this book is to ease the adoption of design patterns in Kotlin and provide good practices for programmers.

The book begins by showing you the practical aspects of smarter coding in Kotlin, explaining the basic Kotlin syntax and the impact of design patterns. From there, the book provides an in depth explanation about the classical design patterns like Creational, Structural, Behavioral etc before heading into Functional Programming. It then takes you through Reactive and Concurrent patterns, teaching you about Streams, Threads and Coroutines to write better code. Towards the end, you will learn about the latest trends in architecture, exploring the design patterns for microservices and discuss the considerations while choosing between different architectures like microservices and MVC.

By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently address common problems faced while developing applications and be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.
