From the Front matter: The second edition of Kotlin in Action teaches you the Kotlin programming language and how to use it to build applications running on the Java virtual machine (JVM) and Android. It starts with the basic features of the language and proceeds to cover the more distinctive aspects of Kotlin, such as its support for building high-level abstractions and domain-specific languages. The book also provides the information you need to integrate Kotlin with existing Java projects and helps you introduce Kotlin into your current working environment. The book covers Kotlin 2.0. Who should read this book Kotlin in Action, Second Edition, is primarily focused on developers with some level of Java experience. Kotlin builds on many concepts and techniques from Java, and the book strives to get you up to speed quickly by using your existing knowledge. If you’re experienced with other programming languages such as C# or JavaScript, you may need to refer to other sources of information to understand the more intricate aspects of Kotlin’s interaction with the JVM, but you’ll still be able to learn Kotlin using this book. We focus on the Kotlin language as a whole and not on a specific problem domain, so the book should be equally useful for server-side developers, Android developers, and everyone else who builds projects targeting the JVM.
