About

Gentle Kotlin is a gentle and wholesome introduction to Kotlin made by people who really like geeking out about the language.

Many of the efforts from here also led to UIUC’s CS199: IKP - Joyful Kotlin which has it’s own lessons, runnable code examples, lecture recordings on youtube. It is also the home to the jeed playground which is one of the fastest Kotlin playgrounds.Github.
