Kotlin in action 1st edition.
This book's greatest strength is its perspective: it systematically addresses Kotlin features by contrasting them with existing Java paradigms, making the learning process intuitive for veterans of the JVM. It focuses heavily on writing idiomatic Kotlin?that is, coding in a way that fully utilizes the language?s unique strengths, leading to concise and readable code.
Key topics covered comprehensively include:
Null Safety: A deep dive into Kotlin's robust type system for eliminating NullPointerException errors.
Functional Programming: Extensive coverage of lambda expressions and functional APIs for collections (map, filter, etc.).
Interoperability: Detailed guidance on seamlessly calling Java code and libraries from Kotlin, and vice-versa.
Advanced Features: Explanations of operator overloading, generics, and how to build expressive Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs).
For developers looking for a rock-solid, accurate, and idiomatic introduction to Kotlin's fundamentals, especially if they are coming from a Java background, this 1st edition remains a fantastic resource.

About the Technology
Developers want to get work done - and the less hassle, the better. Coding with Kotlin means less hassle. The Kotlin programming language offers an expressive syntax, a strong intuitive type system, and great tooling support along with seamless interoperability with existing Java code, libraries, and frameworks. Kotlin can be compiled to Java bytecode, so you can use it everywhere Java is used, including Android. And with an effi cient compiler and a small standard library, Kotlin imposes virtually no runtime overhead.
About the Book
Kotlin in Action teaches you to use the Kotlin language for production-quality applications. Written for experienced Java developers, this example-rich book goes further than most language books, covering interesting topics like building DSLs with natural language syntax. The authors are core Kotlin developers, so you can trust that even the gnarly details are dead accurate.
