03/01/2020, 10:18 PMThe two mentioned above are excellent. You might also check out @kenkousenās Kotlin Cookbook, even if he did miss a wonderful opportunity to call it a āKotlin Kookbookā!
On second reading though, I get why he wouldnāt want āKookā in the title. Nvm š¤£

03/01/2020, 11:05 PMThanks for mentioning my Kotlin Cookbook, which you can find at http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920224327.do . The problem with the current title is that non-technical people think that's a Kotlin on the cover and my book is about how to hunt them down and eat them. So if you need to prepare free-range Kotlins, have I got the book for you

03/02/2020, 5:46 PMI wouldn't call "Kotlin in Action" a must read, but a "Why not read?... It's such a clear, enjoyable read that I think you're loosing out if you're not reading it... Read it about 2 years ago, so it may be a bit dated now, not sure if they have new editions? Kotlin is moving fast...

03/02/2020, 5:47 PMAlso, I'm currently reading this one: https://www.manning.com/books/the-joy-of-kotlin Not primarily about Kotlin, but about functional programming with Kotlin. Not as smooth a read as Kotlin in Action, but still a very good book IMO.

03/06/2020, 7:11 AM@kenkousen nice book, but I know that my next book will have the subtitle "A Solution-Focused Approach". It will go well with yours!
