3) Data Structures and Algorithms in Kotlin

Finally, the third of our new books this season is Data Structures and Algorithms in Kotlin!

Data structures and algorithms are fundamental tools every developer should have. In this book, you’ll learn how to work with and implement some of the most important data structures and algorithms in Kotlin, and learn how to choose the right one to do the job.

This book is for intermediate Kotlin or Android developers who already know the basics of the language and want to improve their knowledge.

Topics covered in Data Strucures and Algorithms in Kotlin:

• Introduction to Kotlin: If you’re new to Kotlin, you can learn the main constructs and start writing code quickly.
• Complexity: When you study algorithms, you need a way to compare their performance in time and space. Here you’ll learn what the Big-O notation is.
• Elementary Data Structures: You’ll learn how to implement Linked List, Stack and Queues in Kotlin.
• Trees: In this book you’ll learn everything you need about Trees and in particular about Binary Trees, AVL Trees along with Binary Search and much more.
• Sorting Algorithms: Sorting algorithms are very famous, and for good reason! In this chapter, you’ll implement the main sorting algorithms using the tools provided by Kotlin.
• Graphs: Have you ever heard the name Dijkstra and the way to calculate the shortest path between two different points? In this chapter, you’ll learn all about Graphs and how to use them to solve the most useful and important algorithms.

Updated Books on Sale

On top of all of our three brand new Android books, we’re also pleased to announce updates for two of our existing Android books:

4) Kotlin Coroutines by Tutorials, Second Edition

The second edition of this book includes two new chapters:

• Beginning with Coroutine Flow: In this chapter, you’ll learn about Coroutine Flows and how to use them in your project.
• Testing Coroutines: Testing is a fundamental part of the development process and coroutines are no different. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to test coroutines using the main testing frameworks.

Executing background tasks has always been a big challenge in every environment and, in particular, on mobile devices where resources are limited. Kotlin has simplified the way you can write code improving your productivity with a new programming paradigm, enhancing object-oriented and functional programming with simple, powerful and new constructs. Coroutines are one of these!

This book is for intermediate Kotlin or Android developers who already know the basics of UI development but want to learn coroutine API to simplify and optimize their code.

Topics covered in Kotlin Coroutines by Tutorials:

• Asynchronous programming: Learn what asynchronous programming means and how to achieve it using not blocking calls.
• Configuration: Learn how to configure IntelliJ and Android Studio to use Coroutine APIs.
• Coroutine principles: Learn what coroutines and launching builders are and how to manage Job dependencies.
• Suspending functions: This is the main concept around coroutines and you’ll learn how to declare a suspending function and how to deal with results.
• Sequences and Iterators: Learn how to manage theoretically infinite collections of data in an efficient way using Sequences, Iterators and the yield function.
• Thread communication techniques: Learn how different tasks can communicate using Channels, Flow, and specific coroutine operators.
• And much more, including benchmarks, Broadcast Channels, and Flow!

Kotlin Coroutines by Tutorials, Second Edition, is newly updated with two new chapters and is currently available as a free update to existing digital customers.

If you don’t have the book yet, order it now! During our Android Fall Sale, you can get the book for only $49.99.

One thing you can count on: After reading this book, you’ll be prepared to take advantage of all the benefits coroutines have to offer!
