If you need some free stuff just use docs they are really simple also try Kotlin Koans <https kotlinlang org docs tutorials koans html>

This book covers language itself not specific Java API If you need tutorial about Java FX or any other Java framework just find book tutorial about Java FX and use Kotlin instead of Java Kotlin has full interop with Java and you can use any Java API Kotlin IDE plugin even can convert Java code to Kotlin for example if you want easely convert some code snippet from tutorial
