Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide

Great book, only reason it is 4 star instead of 5 is that it is due a revised edition

This book is great if you are a complete beginner in programming. If you are more experienced with JVM you may want to find something more advanced.

Una vista rapida y tiene la info que esperaba para aprender Kotlin, pero no venía cerrado el libro y un poco doblado de las orillas 😢... por eso el 4tro

Nice book for kotlin 1.2

I was excited to hear that BNR was working on a Kotlin specific book. Their content is usually well regarded, so I expected this book to be organized and well written, and it seems to be. I have been writing Java (Android) software for many years, so have some experience. It seems like this book would be OK for the complete beginner, as it does a good job of walking the reader through the necessary steps to complete a learning unit. I wanted a book that started with the basics, because I wanted to make sure I was learning these fundamental concepts well from the beginning. This book walks the reader through building a project. Over time, the project becomes more complicated, as the topics being taught become more complex. I plan to read this book from start to finish, and build the project to it's completion. I think you could also read particular chapters if you didn't want to do the entire project. So far, I have found the level of the material to be well designed for me. I am finding it quite easy to learn Kotlin. I am not sure if it is because of my previous Java experience, the pragmatic nature of Kotlin, or that this book is well written. I suspect it is a combination of each of those.
