Hi all, can anyone reccomend a good site or smaller book or something to get started with kotlin? i have prior programming experience (mostly oop but also hobbyist fp) and I'm looking for something that will help me write some code quickly. i don't want to go through someone explaining me what if/else is and at this point i don't want a book that goes in depth and that would take me a month to read.

thanks, will check that out too 👍 i'm not interested in android but backend web, this site seems more mobile oriented, but i'll give it a try

https://www.manning.com/ has some really good Kotlin books. Kotlin in Action and Joy of Kotlin are available there. Also, if you want to see how OOP Design Patterns can be applied using Kotlin language features, Hands-On Design Patterns with Kotlin is really good.

All these books assume prior Java experience

Thanks! I already checked Joy of Kotlin and it seems like a great book, but I'm looking for something to get me started quick because I need to evaluate the language for a potential project. Later on I'll read more detailed books like Joy if I start working in the language
