Overview

Kotlin is a statically typed programming language designed to interoperate with Java and fully supported by Google on the Android operating system. It is also a multiplatform language that can be used to write code that can be shared across platforms including macOS, iOS, Windows, and JavaScript.

Based on Big Nerd Ranch’s popular Kotlin Essentials course, this guide shows you how to work effectively with Kotlin through hands-on examples and clear explanations of key Kotlin concepts and foundational APIs. Written for Kotlin 1.5, this book will also introduce you to JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA development environment.

Whether you are an experienced developer or are learning your first programming language – and whether you are interested in Kotlin for Android, server-side, or multiplatform projects – the authors will guide you from first principles to advanced Kotlin usage. By the end of this book, you will be empowered to create reliable, concise applications in Kotlin.

A Pearson eTextbook is an easy-to-use digital version of the book. You can add notes and highlights, plus learn on the go with the Pearson+ mobile app. Listen on the go with the audiobook feature, available for most titles.

When you choose a plan, you're signing up for a 4-month 'term'. You can opt to make a one-time payment for the initial 4-month term or pay monthly. If you opt for monthly payments, we will charge your payment method each month until your 4-month term has ended. You can turn on auto-renew in My account at any time to continue your subscription before your 4-month term has ended.

When you purchase a Pearson+ subscription, it will last 4 months. Before your initial 4-month term ends, you can extend your subscription by turning auto-renew on in My account.

If you turn auto-renew on, we’ll automatically renew your subscription and charge you every month until you turn off auto-renew. If you made a one-time payment for your initial 4-month term, you’ll now pay monthly.

To avoid the next payment charge, make sure you turn auto renewal off 1 day before the auto renewal date. You can subscribe again after auto-renew has been turned off by purchasing another Pearson+ subscription. We use your credit card to renew your subscription automatically. To make sure your learning is uninterrupted, please check your card details before your first monthly payment.

With a Multi Pearson+ subscription plan, you can download up to 10 titles from your library on each of your authorized smartphone and tablet devices every month.

When you’re using your Multi Pearson+ subscription plan in a browser, you can select and read from as many titles as you like.
