With the aid of 37 hands-on projects, this book moves quickly through the language basics while demonstrating problem-solving skills and how to tackle advanced concepts like fractals, dynamic systems, and nature-inspired algorithms. Dr. Faisal Islam explores the way Kotlin handles variables, control structures, functions, classes, and data structures, and shows how to create visualizations using Kotlin and the JavaFX graphics library.
