Kotlin Learning

In this repository I will document my Kotlin learning process as I read through Kotlin in Action, by Dmitry Jemerov and Svetlana Isakova.

I will try to comment my code and organize it well. I will also try to create README files in each chapter directory to explain which Kotlin files are for which parts of the book. Please make a PR if you find anything to add, modify, or remove.
