Has an introductory segment about setting up the example project's gradle files. He only tells you that something can be done easier in Kotlin than it could be done in Java, without telling you why you would do this thing in the first place.Ĥ. Regularly the author shows a bit of code without telling you if it is supposed to be used somewhere in the learning exercise or if it is just an example of how the Kotlin syntax works.ģ. When looking through the Github repo of the final version of the learning exercise app I realised that he even creates folders for some of the classes he creates and he never mentions it!Ģ.
Regularly shows you code but doesn't tell you where it is supposed to go.
The author does some very irritating things, like:ġ. Until chapter 8 at which point it can be thrown away. You could, however, take a first read to get a broad idea and then dive into practice. I'll be solving many of the typical problems we have to face in our daily lives by making use of the language expressiveness and some other really interesting tools and libraries.The book is very practical, so it is recommended to follow the examples and the code in front of a computer and try everything it's suggested. This way, you can see what the differences are and which parts of the language will help you speed up your work.This book is not meant to be a language reference, but a tool for Android developers to learn Kotlin and be able to continue with their own projects by themselves. I'll be stopping to explain the most interesting concepts and ideas about Kotlin, comparing it with Java 7. The idea is to learn the language by example, instead of following a typical structure. Recommended by both Google and Jetbrains, this book will guide through the process of learning all the new features that Java was missing, in an easy and fun way.You'll be creating an Android app from ground using Kotlin as the main language. So it's your time to start learning about it!And "Kotlin for Android Developers" is the best tool. If you want to be a good candidate for new Android opportunities, Kotlin is becoming a new need most companies will ask for.
Google has officially announced Kotlin as a supported language to write Android Apps.These are amazing news for Android developers, which now have the ability to use a modern and powerful language to make their job easier and funnier.But this comes with other responsibilities.
