Whether you have a little JavaScript experience, played with a bit of Python, written Java, or have virtually no programming experience at all, this textbook is for you. The first part of the book introduces Kotlin program structures, as well as conditional flow of control features such as if and when expressions, and iteration loops such as for, while, and do-while. Subsequent chapters explain how functions are implemented in Kotlin and introduce concepts from functional programming, such as higher-order functions and curried functions.

The second part focuses on object-oriented programming techniques, including classes, inheritance, abstraction, and interfaces. The third part presents container data types such as arrays, collections, including lists, sets, and maps, and the fourth part considers concurrency and parallelism using Kotlin coroutines. The book concludes with an introduction to Android mobile application development using Kotlin.

Clear steps are provided explaining how to set up your environment and get started writing your own Kotlin programs. An important aspect of the book is teaching by example, and many examples are presented throughout the chapters. These examples are supported by a public GitHub repository that provides complete working code as well as sample solutions to the chapter exercises. This helps illustrate how to write well-structured, clear, idiomatic Kotlin to build real applications.
