Review: Excellent intro to Android Studio using Kotlin - Was able to work through the whole book without too much difficulty. There are some typos here and there but the author's source code is correct. Had to adjust some gradle files from what Android Studio generated to match the author's source code to compile some apps. Best Android Studio book by far that I have used.
Review: Head Start books are such great learning tools. - I have quite a few Head Start books. They are so much fun to learn from. And this one particularly is of tremendous help. So far all the examples compile well. Thanks.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent intro to Android Studio using Kotlin
*by J***X on January 22, 2022*

Was able to work through the whole book without too much difficulty. There are some typos here and there but the author's source code is correct. Had to adjust some gradle files from what Android Studio generated to match the author's source code to compile some apps. Best Android Studio book by far that I have used.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Head Start books are such great learning tools.
*by H***E on March 24, 2022*

I have quite a few Head Start books. They are so much fun to learn from. And this one particularly is of tremendous help. So far all the examples compile well. Thanks.

### ⭐ Why so many typos?
*by C***H on September 3, 2024*

Good grief, you put in the code changes it says to make in the Gradle scripts and the whole thing blows up with error messages. not to mention the quality of book itself just totally sucks. had it for 3 days and pages are starting to come out. O'Reilly, has really gone down hill. Just say no to this book.
