Preface
Kotlin is typically associated with Android development, and most discussion about it revolves gravitates around that. But the language has much more to offer and is ideal for modern server side developers. While any Android developer will find useful snippets in this book, the book is targeting Java and Scala developers primarily. The book will start with a introduction to Kotlin and explain how you set up your environment before moving on to the basic concepts. Once the basics are out of the way, the focus will shift towards more advanced concepts, and don't be surprised if you see a few bytecode listings. Once you have completed the book you should have all the knowledge required to start using Kotlin for your next project.
