Kotlin Programming with AI: A Complete Beginner's Guide to Modern Kotlin Development, Android Apps, and AI-Powered Applications (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798199672689)

Learn Kotlin from scratch and build real AI-powered Android and backend applications - in a single, comprehensive guide designed for the 2026 development landscape.

Whether you are coming from Java, Python, or have never written a line of code professionally, Kotlin Programming with AI takes you step by step from your very first variable declaration to deploying intelligent, production-ready applications. Written for the 2026 ecosystem, every chapter targets Kotlin 2.0, Android API 34+, Jetpack Compose 1.7, and Ktor 3.x - so everything you learn is current and practical.

What you will learn:

• Master Kotlin fundamentals - null safety, data classes, extension functions, and type inference
• Write clean, idiomatic Kotlin with coroutines and asynchronous programming made simple
• Build modern Android UIs using Jetpack Compose and Material 3
• Architect scalable backend services with Ktor on the JVM
• Integrate OpenAI and LLM APIs directly into your Kotlin applications
• Apply prompt engineering techniques inside real Android and backend projects
• Add AI-powered features: chat assistants, recommendation engines, and intelligent search
• Use dependency injection with Hilt, REST networking, local databases, and cloud deployment
• Complete five real-world projects from a task manager to a full AI chat assistant

Four parts, zero fluff:

Part I builds your Kotlin foundation - syntax, functions, OOP, null safety, collections, lambdas, coroutines, and performance. Part II covers intermediate and advanced topics including architecture patterns, Jetpack Compose, networking, testing, and deployment. Part III connects Kotlin to the AI era with practical chapters on OpenAI integration, LLM APIs, on-device intelligence, and AI-assisted automation. Part IV delivers five complete guided projects you build from start to finish.

The book also includes a Kotlin quick reference, a Jetpack Compose cheat sheet, a coroutines and Flow reference, a guide to common mistakes, and a curated list of key libraries - everything you need in one place.

If you want a practical, modern, and AI-ready Kotlin book that respects your time and teaches through real code, this is it.

Perfect for: beginners moving from Java or Python, self-taught developers building Android apps, and developers who want to add AI capabilities to their Kotlin projects.
