Advanced Kotlin
summary
Covers concrete Kotlin features with code and decompiled Java examples: shows Delegates (observable, vetoable, notNull), how to write custom delegates and a shared preferences delegate that actually reads/writes prefs, explains tailrec vs co-recursion with factorial and string-trimming examples where only the co-recursive version compiles to a loop, walks all nine annotation use-site targets by decompiling bytecode, demos reflection (KClass/KCallable, KProperty in delegate lambdas), sealed classes, in/out variance and the IDE lint to suggest it, and omits coroutines.
