Welcome to Stream of Bytes, just another blog about coding for coders by the coder. But, this blog is not just about coding; it's about what it's like being coder and daily challenges that are faced by beginner programmers.

I remember the time when I started coding. It was a bitterly cold night, and I was walking alone towards the realms of Bits and Bytes; quite dramatic, right? Uh!, I know, anyway at first you feel like no one around you can help you out or guide you in this journey other than Stack Overflow or some self-proclaimed arrogant (ouch!) geeks in your town. I didn't have Internet during that time, “the truth has been spoken”. So, I had to learn all this stuff by myself; a little from here and a little from there.

My experience was quite tedious and long one. Lots of questions were there some of them got answered few others I never asked them again but eventually I figured them all by myself. Through  this blog I want to help you out so that for you the process of becoming a “Programmer” gets easier.

That's all. Thanks for reading, follow so that  you never miss an update (yeah I know, I stole this one from YouTube). Happy Coding.

Kotlin: Higher order functions, Lambdas and Extension methods

Photo by Aaron Burden “Truth can only be found in one place: the code.” ―Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship Happy winter, how are you?. This post is continuation of Kotlin series. If you haven't read my introductory post about Kotlin then I'll recommend you reading previous post before continuing with this one. Kotlin is a modern language. I've been working with kotlin for past few months now and I just love it. In todays post I'll talk about three features of kotlin viz. Higher Order Functions, Lambdas and Extension methods. This post also contains working code showing of each of these features. You are free to copy the code and experiment with it. If you haven't already setup kotlin on your system then you can run code using kotlin online playground . Higher order fu...

Coding conventions part 1 : Naming Things

“Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.” —John Woods At some point in the life of every programmer comes a time, when he/she realize that the way he/she organize code sucks(I have this moment like every day). And it's time to change few things and start caring about the organization and readability of code. Code organization is crucial part of software development. Because software is not something which is developed from scratch again and again (as it will cost both time and money) but is updated and maintained for as long as it is possible to do so(this is why we have code re usability thingy). Programmer of special breed that is “Software Maintainer” is assigned this task. These are some of the most calm people in the industry because most of their salary is spent on Anger Management (May God bless them). If a code is poorly organized then more time is spent in refactoring it th...

Kotlin : An introduction

Photo by wu yi “A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.” ―Alan J. Perlis World was nice and there was only assembly(“real programmers code in assembly”) but then one day out of blue he (hey! don't look at me like that I too don't know his name) came and said let there be compilers and interpreters(line by line) that will translate languages easy to read(uh! nah not really) and write into assembly to make programming fun again and that gave birth to an era of exotic new programming languages called procedural programming languages. Procedural programming languages were doing fine but after some time lot's of programmer started loosing their objects because of stateless functions which globally caused chaos. Seeing all this made him angry. So he said, “Procedural languages, I command you to treat everything as an ‘Object’ which will have it's own properties(attributes) and behavior(methods)”. They respond...
