A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hello! I just started to learn both Kotlin and Android with "Kotlin for Android developments". Could you advice some basic and easy to read book about Android environment? ( i have some general programming experience)

Personally I love headfirst series (`Head First Android Development`) when dealing with new technology as they explain even very complex stuff in very easy way

If you want something a bit more advanced and practical you could go with  `Android Programming for Beginners`  as bulging few apps across books will give you more confidence in using Android Studio, Android platform  ecosystem and various libraries. It’s java based, however you can easily translate most of the code to Kotlin (simply by pasting it using build-in J2K converter)

There is also this Kotlin book `Learning Kotlin by building Android Applications` however I haven’t tried it yet. It may be goo if you want  to go straight to Kotlin + Android.

When you will be familiarised with Android a bit you could read my book `Android Development with Kotlin` where we will show you how to take advantage of Kotlin in the context of Android development and show you many tricks to make you live as developer easier and more productive :slightly_smiling_face:

Then `Kotlin In Action` is next thing to read - this will give you deeper understanding of the Kotlin itself (although you could also start with this book to get a good idea about Kotlin and leave “Android” part for latter )
