Kotlin for Android App Development, 1st edition

The Kotlin language brings state-of-the-art programming techniques and constructs to Android development. Kotlin for Android App Development will help students rapidly understand Kotlin’s principles and techniques, apply Kotlin in production app development, integrate Kotlin with existing Java code, and plan a migration to Kotlin.

For students with at least basic programming experience (with any language), Peter Sommerhoff’s well-crafted overview and examples will help them get quickly up-to-speed with the Kotlin language, its constructs, and its advanced functional and object-oriented capabilities.

Once students have mastered these foundations, Sommerhoff walks them through two complete app development projects, introducing best practices and emerging patterns for writing code that’s robust, concise, readable, and highly performant.
