Kotlin in Action

Kotlin is a new programming language targeting the Java platform. It

offers on expressiveness and safety without compromising simplicity,

seamless interoperability with existing Java code, and great tooling

support. Because Kotlin generates regular Java bytecode and works

together with existing Java libraries and frameworks, it can be used

almost everywhere where Java is used today - for server-side

development, Android apps, and much more.

Kotlin in Action takes experienced Java developers from the language

basics all the way through building applications to run on the JVM and

Android devices. Written by core developers of Kotlin, this examplerich

book begins by teaching the basic syntax of the Kotlin language.

Then readers learn how to use features that let them build reusable

abstractions, higher-level functions, libraries, and even entire domain

specific languages. Finally, the book focuses on details of applying

Kotlin in real-world projects, such as build system integration, Android

support and concurrent programming.
