Excellent written book. After reading I realized the essence of Kotlin. Excellent starting point for working with Kotlin. The mechanisms described in the book successfully applied in everyday work. I congratulate the author and I hope that it will soon come out with advanced topics of Kotlin.

Great book! For me as the student this was more than enough to get into Kotlin! I hope there will be more books soon! :)

This book is the pure example how a sofware engineering reference book should be written. Also, this is a piece of the literature which misses for Kotlin so far: the (almost) complete reference. To get the maximum of this book, you should be fluent in Java or Swift or antique Object Pascal gracefully used in Delphi IDE. Even Objective-C and JavaScript counts, with the wider scope on mind.
Every major aspect of the programming language is covered: Variables and constants, typecasting, control flow, thread safety, objects & classes, also as the modern hype ones: functional programming and clojures. Every described feature is covered by at least one easy-understandable example. The goal of this book is not to teach the reader how to do programming, but to give him the seamless and as-easy-as-possible jump into the Kotlin bandwagon. An master example how the reference documentation should be written. Highly recommended.

In my mind, this book is a seminal work. It was the first real programming book I ever read, and although I've never done anything significant in Kotlin! The author's explanation of the various concepts has served me well!
