If you're an experienced Java developer who has tried the Kotlin language, you were probably productive in about the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size:=\"\"\u003eYou'll have found that they do things differently in Kotlin, though. Nullability is important, collections are different, and classes are final by default. Kotlin is more functional, but what does that mean, and how should it change the way that you program? And what about all that Java code that you still have to support? Your tour guides Duncan and Nat first made the trip in 2015, and they've since helped many teams and individuals follow in their footsteps. Travel with them as they break the route down into legs like Optional to Nullable, Beans to Values, and Open to Sealed Classes. Each explains a key concept and then shows how to refactor production Java to idiomatic Kotlin, gradually and safely, while maintaining interoperability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size:=\"\"\u003eThe resulting code is simpler, more expressive, and easier to change. By the end of the journey, you'll be confident in refactoring Java to Kotlin, writing Kotlin from scratch, and managing a mixed language codebase as it evolves over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: -4px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size:=\"\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px 0px 4px; margin: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-weight: 700; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif\u003e  About the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 0px; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif font-size:=\"\" padding:=\"\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuncan McGregor \u0026amp; Nat Pryce\u003c\/strong\u003e and  both started programming in Java before its 1.0 release, and have 55 years of combined experience on both the JVM and other platforms.
