About the book
In this book, I'll be creating an Android app from ground using Kotlin as the main language. The idea is to learn the language by example, instead of following a typical structure. I'll be stopping to explain the most interesting concepts and ideas about Kotlin, comparing it with Java 7. This way, you can see what the differences are and which parts of the language will help you speed up your work.
This book is not meant to be a language reference, but a tool for Android developers to learn Kotlin and be able to continue with their own projects by themselves. I'll be solving many of the typical problems we have to face in our daily lives by making use of the language expressiveness and some other really interesting tools and libraries.
The book is very practical, so it is recommended to follow the examples and the code in front of a computer and try everything it's suggested. You could, however, take a first read to get a broad idea and then dive into practice.
Versions
As I update the book, I need to push -f this repository with the new changes, so that it matches with the new text.
That means that if you are reading an old version of the book, main branches won't be aligned with your text.
To make things easier, I'll keep track of those versions in separates branches, which will be linked from here:
7th edition: February 2019 (current)
6th edition: April 2018
