Hi there! I am new to Kotlin and don't know how to program. I have installed IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition on my Desktop. What is my next step? Also, I'm new to this workspace. So, you suggest to me which channels are beneficial for me. You can DM me. Thanks! (I am a high school graduate btw)

Welcome to Kotlin! • You can follow this guide to make a new Kotlin project in IntelliJ and run your first program. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/jvm-get-started.html • Once you have that set up, if you've never programmed before, I think the Kotlin Tour would be a great place to start learning. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-tour-hello-world.html

This channel is probably all you need for now. There's also the #feed channel for news and articles. You'll know when you need to start looking for other channels if you have questions about specific tools and libraries that you encounter on your journey!

I think that the 'Learning materials' section on https://kotlinlang.org/docs/home.html is great. Also Kotlin by example and Koans.

If you're interested in a deeper knowledge, the Kotlin in Action book is pure gold

Thank you, @xoangon! Unfortunately, this book is for experienced Java developers, and I am learning ABC of Java.
