The Kotlin Apprentice is a book designed for complete beginners to Kotlin, a modern language used for Android development. This is a book for complete beginners to the new, modern Kotlin language.

Kotlin is the exciting modern language from JetBrains, creators of IntelliJ IDEA, the basis of many popular IDEs such as Android Studio and PyCharm. Since the adoption of Kotlin by Google as an official language for Android, the momentum behind Kotlin has gone off the charts. In this book, you’ll start with the basics of programming using Kotlin. You’ll next learn everything from collections and lambdas to classes and interfaces, and then move on to more advanced topics like functional programming and coroutines. Kotlin supports many platforms, including Android, JavaScript, the JVM, and someday even iOS. By reading this book, you’ll be ready to use Kotlin on any and all of these platforms.

Everything in the book takes place in a clean, modern development environment, which means you can focus on the core features of programming in the Kotlin language, without getting bogged down in the many details of building apps.
