[The book](https://antonioleiva.com/kotlin-android-developers-book/) is very practical, so it is recommended to follow the examples and the code in front of a computer and try everything it's suggested. You could, however, take a first read to get a broad idea and then dive into practice.

## Versions

As I update the book, I need to push -f this repository with the new changes, so that it matches with the new text.

That means that if you are reading an old version of the book, main branches won't be aligned with your text.

To make things easier, I'll keep track of those versions in separates branches, which will be linked from here:

- 7th edition: February 2019 (current)
- 6th edition: [April 2018](https://github.com/antoniolg/Kotlin-for-Android-Developers/tree/master-april-2018)
- [5th edition: September 2017](https://github.com/antoniolg/Kotlin-for-Android-Developers/tree/master-september-2017)
- [4th edition: July 2017](https://github.com/antoniolg/Kotlin-for-Android-Developers/tree/master-july-2017)
- [3rd edition: June 2017](https://github.com/antoniolg/Kotlin-for-Android-Developers/tree/master-june-2017)
- [2nd edition: January 2017](https://github.com/antoniolg/Kotlin-for-Android-Developers/tree/master-january-2017)
- [1st edition: March 2016](https://github.com/antoniolg/Kotlin-for-Android-Developers/tree/master-march-2016)
