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...

Kotlin Coroutines : A Comprehensive Introduction

Photo by Fleur Treurniet on Unsplash “Redesigning your application to run multithreaded on a multicore machine is a little like learning to swim by jumping into the deep end.” —Herb Sutter, chair of the ISO C++ standards committee, Microsoft® In this article What are coroutines? Blocking vs. Non-Blocking Kotlin Coroutines Suspending functions CoroutineScope Coroutine builders Coroutine dispatcher Coroutine start Conclusion What are coroutines? Coroutines have been around for quite a time now. They are in-fact one of the ideas which helped develop multitasking operating systems. A coroutine in trivial most is a subroutine or function generalisation which in non-preemptive environment (operating system or OS in short) can voluntarily yield the CPU time so that other such sub-routines can use it for themselves without losing the results of previous computations and then can conti...

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...
