Hi! I'd like to start with Kotlin, I prefer to learn through books. Do you recommend some books? I'm a Java Developer looking for some fresh air and a new way to do things, as far as I know, Kotlin has multiple new concepts related to functional programming

If you are interested in the functional side of Kotlin there's also "Functional Programming in Kotlin" https://www.manning.com/books/functional-programming-in-kotlin

Currently reading Functional Programming in Kotlin and it’s really good. At least for me
