Learn Kotlin programming the fun way, with oodles of illustrations and concrete explanations, in a book that steps through the concepts one at a time in order to help you build a solid mental model of the language. Whether you're new to Kotlin, or just looking to fill in some gaps of knowledge, Kotlin: An Illustrated Guide has got you covered!

This book will take you through the fundamentals of Kotlin, gently introducing you to the core concepts of the language, in order to help you become a proficient Kotlin developer. Even if you’re a seasoned pro, it’s important to know the fundamentals in order to establish a solid foundation of understanding, so that you can be as effective as possible.

Who is this book for?
If you’re interested in learning Kotlin development, this book is for you. Everyone has a unique experience - some readers are new to software development entirely, some are new to Kotlin development, and some are existing Kotlin developers who want a deeper understanding of certain language concepts.

My approach in this book is to explain Kotlin programming concepts with simple, tangible, and illustrated examples, so that regardless of your experience level, things will make sense. I do my best to define terms clearly before using them, so that each chapter builds upon a solid foundation of knowledge from the previous chapters.

Even if you already know some of the concepts presented in this book, my goal is to give those concepts such a fun and vivid presentation that you’ll enjoy reading about them again! I hope that will give you a definite clarity about them, shining light on the foggy corners of concepts that you might have wondered about.

What’s the current state of this book?
I'm actively working on the final few chapters of this book

Chapters 1-18 are complete.
Chapter 19 is available in draft form.
I’m expecting to have a total of about 20 chapters.
My main focus at the moment is to complete the remaining chapters. After that, I’ll plan to refine some of the artwork in earlier chapters, to give them even better resolution for the PDF format.
