My book can now be found in Kindle format on Amazon!
Today, we’ll be talking about something controversial: static methods. I have yet to read anything that says static methods are good and useful, other than Effective Java recommending them in the use of static factory methods. There are some really interesting (and somewhat dumb) arguments out there against them that rarely, if ever, even get explained. Notably, I’m providing a rebuttal to the article, Utility Classes Have Nothing to do With Functional Programming.
Today, we’re going to look at the good and bad of static methods; what they’re good for and what they’re not.
I’m taking this week off of writing a post in the hopes that I can focus more on these tiny final details of getting my book and its corresponding library ready.
So, I wish you all a happy Easter!
Sorry, Kotlin Month #3 isn’t ready yet; it’s been a busy week. I hope to have it up and ready by Sunday night, possibly as late as Monday afternoon. Thank you for your patience.
