Elements of Kotlin

Book Description

The programming language for the first generation of Android app development was Java.

Kotlin is the programming language used to make most of the next generation of Android apps.

This introductory book to Kotlin focuses on helping existing programmers get up to speed on reading and writing Kotlin code. There is a lot of focus on the syntax and language features that most Kotlin developers will need. Less time is spent on the advanced features that let library developers make APIs that are easy to use.
