Written by José Dimas Luján Castillo and Ron Veen - seasoned developers with deep expertise in Java and Kotlin - this practical guide teaches Kotlin through side-by-side Java comparisons, real-world examples, and clear explanations of modern language features.
Key Features
- Learn Kotlin by drawing direct comparisons to core Java concepts
- Understand null safety, coroutines, extension functions, and DSLs through practical examples
- Use Kotlin confidently in backend, Android, and cross-platform development
- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Book Description
This book is a hands-on programming guide for Java developers who want to gain practical, production-ready knowledge of Kotlin. Whether you’re maintaining Java systems or adopting Kotlin for Android, backend, or cross-platform projects, it will help you bridge the gap by building on your existing understanding of Java’s syntax and design principles.
You’ll begin by learning why Kotlin was created and how it improves on Java – exploring types, expressions, control flow, and null handling while mapping each concept to familiar Java constructs. Each topic is introduced with clear purpose, showing how Kotlin’s concise syntax, safety features, and expressive APIs lead to cleaner, more maintainable code.
As you progress, you’ll master object-oriented and functional programming, extension functions, smart casting, and interoperability with Java. The second half of the book dives into generics, data and sealed classes, coroutines for concurrency, and DSL design – demonstrating when and why to use these features to build scalable, elegant solutions.
By the end, you’ll not only write idiomatic Kotlin but also understand the reasoning behind its design, enabling you to craft modern, reliable applications with confidence.
What you will learn
- Write Kotlin programs using variables, functions, and control flow
- Model real-world data with classes, properties, and constructors
- Handle missing data safely with nullable types and safe calls
- Simplify logic using lambdas and extension functions
- Work with Kotlin collections and sequences to process data efficiently
- Use Kotlin with Java, Gradle, and Maven for seamless project builds
- Write non-blocking code using coroutines and Async flows
- Create custom DSL for your projects
Who this book is for
This book is for software developers who are proficient in Java and want to learn Kotlin for professional application development. It’s especially relevant for Android engineers, JVM backend developers, and full-stack programmers who maintain or extend Java systems. Familiarity with core Java syntax and object-oriented programming is expected.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
-
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
-
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
