Also, there may or may not be a 2nd edition in the works soon, you might want to see if there are related discounts in the next few weeks 🤫

03/16/2019, 12:08 PMI will take a look on Kotlin in Action too, I have a Safari Books subscription so I have access to the book. I have experience with Ruby and Javascript so I guess I will be fine even though they are not compiled, a little extra challenge is always rewarding
