Kotlin Design Patterns and Best Practices - Build scalable applications using traditional reactive and concurrent design patterns in Kotlin

Alexey Soshin

Summary

This book shows you how easy it can be to implement traditional design patterns in the modern multi-paradigm Kotlin programming language, and takes you through the new patterns and paradigms that have emerged.

This second edition is updated to cover the changes introduced from Kotlin 1.2 up to 1.5 and focuses more on the idiomatic usage of coroutines, which have become a stable language feature. You'll begin by learning about the practical aspects of smarter coding in Kotlin, as well as understanding basic Kotlin syntax and the impact of design patterns on your code.

The book also provides an in-depth explanation of the classical design patterns, such as Creational, Structural, and Behavioral families, before moving on to functional programming. You'll go through reactive and concurrent patterns, and finally, get to grips with coroutines and structured concurrency to write performant, extensible, and maintainable code.

By the end of this Kotlin book, you'll have explored the latest trends in architecture and design patterns for microservices. You’ll also understand the tradeoffs when choosing between different architectures and make informed decisions.

The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue...

Mike Tidwell

In 2023, author and activist Mike Tidwell decided to keep a record for a full year of the growing impacts of climate change on his one urban block right on the border with Washington, DC. Tidwell's story depicts the neighborhood's battle to save the trees and combat climate change: The midwife who builds a geothermal energy system, the Congressman who battles cancer and climate change, and the Chinese-American climate scientist who wants to bury billions of the world's dying trees to store their carbon and help stabilize the atmosphere. 
 
 
 
The story goes beyond ailing trees as Tidwell chronicles people on his block coping with Lyme disease, a church with solar panels and floodwater, and young people anguishing over whether to have kids—all in the same neighborhood and all against the backdrop of 2023's record global temperatures and raging wildfires and hurricanes. Then there's Tidwell himself who explores the ethical and scientific questions surrounding the idea of "geoengineering" as a way to save the world's trees by reflecting sunlight away from the planet. 
 
 
 
No book has told the story of climate change this way: hyper-local, full of surprises, full of true stories of life and death in one neighborhood. The Lost Trees of Willow Avenue is a harrowing and hopeful proxy for every street in America and every place on Earth.

Medical Microbiology - Pathogens...

Ava Westwood

Medical microbiology is a branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of microorganisms and their role in human health and disease. It encompasses the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Understanding the fundamental principles of medical microbiology is essential for the effective diagnosis and management of infectious diseases, which continue to represent a significant global health challenge.
Microorganisms are ubiquitous and can be found in almost every environment on Earth, including the human body. The human microbiome, a collection of trillions of microorganisms living within and on our bodies, plays a crucial role in maintaining health. While many of these microorganisms are harmless or even beneficial, others are pathogenic and capable of causing diseases. The ability of pathogens to infect, survive, and reproduce in human hosts is the cornerstone of infectious disease.
The study of medical microbiology involves understanding the characteristics of pathogens, how they cause disease, and how the human immune system responds to these invaders. Pathogens are typically classified into several groups based on their structure, genetic makeup, and mode of transmission. Bacteria, for example, are single-celled organisms that can either be beneficial or harmful. Viruses, which are much smaller than bacteria, are unable to replicate on their own and require a host cell for reproduction. Fungi and parasites, which include yeasts, molds, protozoa, and helminths, also contribute to a wide variety of infections in humans.
