Learn to code in Kotlin by starting from scratch and gradually building skills to tackle a wide range of fun and challenging problems.Kotlin isnt just for building Android apps. As youll learn in Kotlin from Scratch, its also a general programming language for crafting both elegant and efficient code.With the aid of 37 hands-on projects, youll move quickly through the language basics while building your problem-solving skills, even tackling advanced concepts like fractals, dynamic systems, and nature-inspired algorithms. Youll explore the way Kotlin handles variables, control structures, functions, classes, and data structures, and youll learn to create visualizations using Kotlin and the JavaFX graphics library. Then youll build increasingly sophisticated apps to practice what youve learned while tackling challenges from math and science to algorithms and optimization.As you progress through the book, you will:Simulate physical systems, like the intricate dance of binary stars Implement the classic Hill cipher for encryption and decryption Generate beautiful fractals with recursive algorithms Program classic computer science algorithms for sorting and searching Solve the infamous Berlin52 traveling salesman problemExpand your language repertoire and improve your computational thinking with Kotlin from Scratch.
