Sinossi
Learn to code in Kotlin by starting from scratch and gradually building skills to tackle a wide range of fun and challenging problems.
Kotlin is a cutting-edge programming language that seamlessly combines the best features of several popular programming languages, offering a streamlined and intuitive experience for developing robust, type-safe applications across multiple platforms. Though Kotlin is primarily known for Android app development, this book establishes its broader credentials for general-purpose coding—complete with geeky, hands-on projects that will take you from total beginner to proficient Kotlin developer.
After learning the basics of the language and integrating the JavaFX library to generate graphics and data visualizations, you’ll apply your knowledge to solve 37 math, science, and algorithmic challenges of increasing complexity. You’ll model the motion of a pendulum, simulate the orbits of a binary star system, render enchanting fractals like the Mandelbrot set, implement ant colony optimization and other nature-inspired algorithms, and much more.
Beyond the specifics of the Kotlin language, the book’s many projects will guide you in thinking systematically and strategically, teaching you how to develop problem-solving strategies before diving into actual code development. In addition, you’ll learn about concepts from numerical analysis and computer science such as convergence and stability, time and space complexity, recursion, sorting, searching, and several nature-inspired optimization techniques, all of which are applied to tackle real-world problems.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Learn Kotlin Through 37 ProjectsLearn Kotlin Through 37 ProjectsKotlin isn't just for building Android apps. As you'll learn in Kotlin from Scratch, it's also a general programming language for crafting both elegant and efficient code.With the aid of 37 hands-on projects, you'll move quickly through the language basics while building your problem-solving skills, even tackling advanced concepts like fractals, dynamic systems, and nature-inspired algorithms. You'll explore the way Kotlin handles variables, control structures, functions, classes, and data structures, and you'll learn to create visualizations using Kotlin and the JavaFX graphics library. Then you'll build increasingly sophisticated apps to practice what you've learned while tackling challenges from math and science to algorithms and optimization.As you progress through the book, you will-Simulate physical systems, like the intricate dance of binary starsImplement the classic Hill cipher for encryption and decryptionGenerate beautiful fractals with recursive algorithmsProgram classic computer science algorithms for sorting and searchingSolve the infamous Berlin52 traveling salesman problemExpand your language repertoire and improve your computational thinking with Kotlin from Scratch. "Covers Kotlin basics and the JavaFX library. Features over 30 math, science, and algorithmic projects, such as how to model the motion of a pendulum, simulate the orbits of a binary star system, render the Mandelbrot set, and implement nature-inspired algorithms. Also covers randomness, recursion, sorting and searching, and optimization"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
