Kotlin experienced a surge of popularity when Google made it a first class language for Android development and gradually it has found its way into many domains as an object-oriented language that is fun and flexible in its approach.
Kotlin is an interesting language because it is 100% runtime compatible with Java while being easier to use. Using Kotlin will make programming simpler and your programs better, and this is why you need to learn Kotlin.
This book introduces Kotlin to programmers. You don't have to be an expert in Java or any other language, but you do need to know the basics of programming and using objects. As with all languages Kotlin has some subtle areas where an understanding of how things work makes all the difference and this second edition pay close attention to these gotchas and has a completely new chapter on Coroutines which is perhaps the Kotlin feature with the most pitfalls and the least documentation. After reading this book all is made clear and workable.
