This is one great book of a kind I was looking for for some time now.As a computer professional with few decades of experience, I am fairly often exposed to new fields and technologies. Android is one field I am new to and what I needed was a Mastering type book using some original enough approach to keep me motivated to go through... There comes Kotlin - motivating by virtue of being a creative new language, one I am reading about and using in small measure for now...High concentration of useful information, written in non-nonsense fast paced book. Just what I needed! Thanks to Milos and Packt for it!

I wanted to brush up on Android since it's been several years since I've written an Android app. Despite the "Who this book is for" saying that it's for someone with no familiarity with Android development, the book explains very little and glosses over key concepts like Activities and Fragments. Honestly you'd learn more just by reading the official Android Dev Guide articles. This book also seems very rushed and has several mistakes.This book would be fine for someone already familiar with Android who wants to learn how to write their apps in Kotlin, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone new to Android. Instead of reading the rest of this, I'll be going back to the Big Nerd Ranch guide to Android (which I read years ago and recommend as a really great book for learning Android).Note: I stopped reading after 3.5 chapters because of the mistakes and I wasn't getting a solid review of key Android concepts, so the review is based on the first 115 or so pages.
