Summary
What will you learn from this book？
Head First Kotlin is a complete introduction to coding in Kotlin。 This hands-on book helps you learn the Kotlin language with a unique method that goes beyond syntax and how-to manuals and teaches you how to think like a great Kotlin developer。 You'll learn everything from language fundamentals to collections， generics， lambdas， and higher-order functions。 Along the way， you'll get to play with both object-oriented and functional programming。 If you want to really understand Kotlin， this is the book for you。
Why does this book look so different？
Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory， Head First Kotlin uses a visually rich format to engage your mind rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep。 Why waste your time struggling with new concepts？ This multisensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works。

Head First "Kotlin" is a really simple guide of the programming language。 This book has nothing to do with Android， but it is not needed， it is only about pure Kotlin。 The book includes many useful tricks and makes clear specific particularities without redundant theory， with only that stuff which is needed in practice。 Head First "Kotlin" is a really simple guide of the programming language。 This book has nothing to do with Android， but it is not needed， it is only about pure Kotlin。 The book includes many useful tricks and makes clear specific particularities without redundant theory， with only that stuff which is needed in practice。 。。。more

Comments: As the Head First series always does， this is a fantastic book for learning Kotlin。 In fact， I finished this book in just two days due to the tremendous similarities that Kotlin and Swift share。Recommended for:Android developers！JVM developers！

The best book for starting in learning Kotlin。 It contains practical explanations with images and diagrams and a lot of useful exercises。 I recommended it for every beginner in Kotlin。

Gentle introduction with images to help you mentally picture what the code is doing。 Beginner friendly。When I had trouble with a topic presented in the Kotlin docs， or on the Coursera course。。 I went to this book。 It is like having that teacher that takes their time to repeat the topic in simple terms that you can understand。Doesn't cover the complex topics， those are better covered by Kotlin in Action Gentle introduction with images to help you mentally picture what the code is doing。 Beginner friendly。When I had trouble with a topic presented in the Kotlin docs， or on the Coursera course。。 I went to this book。 It is like having that teacher that takes their time to repeat the topic in simple terms that you can understand。Doesn't cover the complex topics， those are better covered by Kotlin in Action 。。。more

This is the second time I've read a book from the Head First collection。The first time I was in uni while learning Java， so recently when I started reading Head First Kotlin I was prepared for what to expect and what not to expect。I did not expect:- A book for people just beginning to learn about OOP practices and principles。- A hard and time consuming book to absorb the ideas about Kotlin。I expected:- A book that somehow shows a deep understanding of Kotlin / JVM， such as how variables are refe This is the second time I've read a book from the Head First collection。The first time I was in uni while learning Java， so recently when I started reading Head First Kotlin I was prepared for what to expect and what not to expect。I did not expect:- A book for people just beginning to learn about OOP practices and principles。- A hard and time consuming book to absorb the ideas about Kotlin。I expected:- A book that somehow shows a deep understanding of Kotlin / JVM， such as how variables are referenced to objects in various examples such as list， map， set， lambdas， high order functions and so on。-Exercises in each chapter that helps to fix the knowledge of each subject。- How to code in a Kotlinsh way。It's a great first book for anyone who wants to learn Kotlin who already has previous programming experience。In this book you will find the main topics of Kotlin language and how to work with them through various well designed exercises that will help you fix your knowledge。 。。。more
