Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide

It is a very good book for the beginners. Very thorough in explanation of the concepts.

Despite being a few years old, the coverage of the material is generally good. However, the publisher has since changed their name, archived their forums and scrubbed the sample code. In particular, a web service used in the concurrency chapters (20-22) is gone, although if you are creative and ambitious you could replicate it. Finally, the chapter on Kotlin/JS (chapter 26) is impossible to complete with the current release of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. There's good information here for an experienced programmer new to Kotlin, but for a novice programmer the issues might be insurmountable.

...Although it might not suit a novice programmer. I am an experienced programmer with professional experience in C, C# and java, so many aspects of kotlin are comparable to those languages, even if the syntax is somewhat different. This book gave me a good workout in kotlin, going deep into the language in places. I loved the idea of learning a language by writing a text adventure game, so much so that I keep going back to NyetHack and adding more features! The book is well written and well-ordered as regards the progression of topics is concerned. I was occasionally bemused by the way a recently-established technique was soon discarded, sort of 'Well that way works, of course, but for more flexibility or brevity, use this instead'... yeah, OK, I realised after a while that this is part of the author's teaching approach, and it works in the end. Kotlin is an evolving language, and some the code in the book doesn't work with the latest kotlin libraries, but that is inevitable, I suppose, and I was able to change the code to reflect the new syntax without any problem. All in all, a thoroughly good tutorial.

Ensina passo a passo, aplicando num programa exemplo. Gostei.

Es un rollo hacer funcionar un programa con información no actualizada, y no estaba el siguiente que sería el que si me funcionaria así que no planeo darle más que eso ya que renuncie a usarlo y volví a los cursos en Internet. Lastima se veía bien.
