Book Description

Kotlin was developed with the aim of solving programmers' difficulties and operational challenges. Kotlin for Enterprise Applications using Java EE is all about making Kotlin and Java EE work in unison to build enterprise-grade applications. Together with the Java EE API, Kotlin can be used to create services of any size with just a few lines of code and gives you the ability to focus on business logic.

This book begins with a brief tour of Kotlin and what makes it so popular these days, followed by an introduction to Kotlin in the Java EE environment. You will then learn how to build real-world applications using Java Persistence API (JPA) and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) and develop microservices and web services using Kotlin. As you make your way through the chapters, you'll use various performance and monitoring tools for your Java EE application and see how they work with Kotlin to optimize real-world applications. At each step along the way, you will deal with how easy it is to develop enterprise application in Kotlin.

By the end of this book, you will have learned best practices and design patterns of Java EE and be able to implement them using Kotlin.
