Written by core developers of Kotlin, this examplerichbook begins by teaching the basic syntax of the Kotlin language.Then readers learn how to use features that let them build reusableabstractions, higher-level functions, libraries, and even entire domainspecific languages. Finally, the book focuses on details of applyingKotlin in real-world projects, such as build system integration, Androidsupport and concurrent programming.
