Atomic Kotlin

Written for readers who are new to programming as well as experienced developers, this guide to Kotlin splits its material into compact units the authors call "atoms." Each one covers a single idea, so the language can be learned in small, manageable steps.

Bruce Eckel, who previously wrote Thinking in C++ and Thinking in Java, worked on the book with Svetlana Isakova, a member of the Kotlin language team. Exercises follow the material throughout, and each comes with hints and full solutions built into IntelliJ IDEA, so readers can check their work without leaving the editor.

This version, 1.1 from November 2021, updates the text for Kotlin 1.5, works with 1.6, and includes all corrections and clarifications made since the original release.
