Intended as a better alternative to Java,its main goals are high interoperability with Java and increased developer productivity. Kotlin is still a new language and this book will help you to learn the core Kotlin features and get you ready for developing applications with Kotlin.
This book covers Kotlin features in detail and explains them with practical code examples.You will learn how to set up the environment and take your frst steps with Kotlin and its syntax. We will cover the basics of the language,including functions,variables,and basic data types. With the basics covered,the next chapters show how functions are first-class citizens in Kotlin and deal with the object-oriented side of Kotlin.
You will move on to more advanced features of Kotlin. You will explore Kotlin’s Standard Library and learn how to work with the Collections API. The book finishes by putting Kotlin in to practice,showing how to build a desktop app.
