Video Description

Do you want to learn Kotlin? Then you are absolutely right in this tutorial: In this series of videos, I am gonna showcase useful Kotlin features that will help you to write Kotlin code in an idiomatic fashion such that it follows the best practices of this beautiful programming language. For each episode, examples in a public Git repository are available to optionally see how each idiom would be applied. But I will also cover all of that in the videos themselves. In today's episode, I am going to explain to you the differences between using collections and sequences within the Kotlin Collections API (standard library). We are gonna check out what they are, when to use which, and what pitfalls you have to be aware of when using them in your Kotlin code.
