Kotlin Development

Welcome to the the world of Kotlin. An ongoing curated list of frameworks, books, articles, talks, screencasts, recordings, libraries, learning tutorials and resources about kotlin development.

When you hear Kotlin, you will probably think about it as a programming language merely for developing mobile apps on Android, and you are right – but only partially. That is because Google decided that Kotlin was its preferred language for building Android apps. Yet this language is much more than that, Android being only a fraction of possibilities Kotlin offers. But let’s start from the beginning…

What is Kotlin?

It is an open-source statically typed programming language designed by JetBrains. Yep, the same guys who created IntelliJ IDEA. You may say “IntelliJ is the best IDE for JAVA, those people know how to do the stuff, this Kotlin might be a really good tool” – and you are right! I mean, if you like JAVA and think it is a cool language then Kotlin is even cooler. Why? I will show you later.
