09/11/2019, 5:13 PM#getting-started I'm new to Kotlin. Just finished Coursera course on Kotlin and looking for the next steps to learn. Are there good books or resources showing how to use Kotlin for Android development and for Android game development? I saw "Kotlin In Action" that is authored by the instructors of the Coursera course. BUT, it doesn't mention Kotlin development for Android and it's a bit old (aside: is a new edition about to come out?). My day job is desktop C# apps. I did some Android development >5 years ago in JAVA but it's a distant memory. Thanks!

09/11/2019, 5:41 PMThanks Steve! I totally missed those in my searches. Looks promising. Both "Kotlin Bootcamp for Programmers" and "Developing Android Apps with Kotlin" And both free!
