Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language, developed by JetBrains. If you have basic knowledge of Java, you will be able to learn Kotlin in no time. This Kotlin tutorial is designed for beginners so you would be able to understand Kotlin programming even if you have no knowledge of Java. Kotlin and Java are interoperable which means you can use them together in a Project as well as you can re-write a Java code in Kotlin efficiently. The syntax of Kotlin is more concise than Java. In this book, you will learn why to use Kotlin, what are its advantages of it, and several guides on the various topics of Kotlin.<br/><br/>Currently, Kotlin mainly targets the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) but also compiles to JavaScript. Kotlin is influenced by other popular programming languages such as Java, C#, JavaScript, Scala, and Groovy. The syntax of Kotlin may not be exactly similar to Java Programming Language, however, internally Kotlin is reliant on the existing Java Class library to produce wonderful results for the programmers. Kotlin provides interoperability, code safety, and clarity to developers around the world.<br/><br/>Here, are some important reasons Kotlin is used widely: Kotlin is a statically-typed language that is very easy to read and write. Kotlin programs do not require semicolons in their program. This makes the code easy and more readable. This language allows the exchange and use of information from Java in various ways. Moreover, Java and Kotlin code can co-exist in the same project. Kotlin’s type system is aimed to eliminate Null Pointer Exceptions from the code. It’ll take you less time to write new code in Kotlin. It’s even easier to deploy kotlin code and maintain it at scale.<br/>Ready to learn more?<br/><br/>Get a copy of this book now.
