I’ve heard the Koans are good. But in all seriousness, check out this book. https://pragprog.com/book/vskotlin/programming-kotlin

i feel like a book that talks about how to write performant JVM applications is maybe a bit too much for someone who hasn’t ever written a JVM application
idk, you may wanna read the excerpt and decide for yourself https://media.pragprog.com/titles/vskotlin/hello.pdf

I’ve read the book, and think it moves slowly enough for an existing developer to get up to speed with Kotlin. It assumes some programming experience, but not with Kotlin. I think the byline is more to appeal to a larger audience as he does cover a lot.
