Kotlin is a statically typed programming language designed to
interoperate with Java and fully supported by Google on the Android
operating system. It is also a multiplatform language that can be used
to write code that can be shared across platforms including macOS, iOS,
Windows, and JavaScript.
Based on Big Nerd Ranch's popular Kotlin Essentials course, this guide
shows you how to work effectively with Kotlin through hands-on examples
and clear explanations of key Kotlin concepts and foundational APIs.
Written for Kotlin 1.5, this book will also introduce you to JetBrains'
IntelliJ IDEA development environment.
Whether you are an experienced developer or are learning your first
programming language - and whether you are interested in Kotlin for
Android, server-side, or multiplatform projects - the authors will guide
you from first principles to advanced Kotlin usage. By the end of this
book, you will be empowered to create reliable, concise applications in
Kotlin.
