Kotlin is a general purpose, object-oriented language that primarily targets the JVM and Android. Intended to be a better alternative to Java, its main goals are high interoperability with Java and increased developer productivity. Kotlin is still a new language and this book will help you to learn the core Kotlin features and get your ready.
