Unfortunately, Kotlin is too new to have much material aimed at beginner programmers, it's almost all aimed at Java developers making the switch to Kotlin.

I learned Java a long time ago. When I was learning it I tried and failed with several books (most notably O'Reilly's book), then I found the first edition of The Java Programming Language, and suddenly it all clicked into place easily.

The 4th edition of this book is a few years old (and it's unclear whether the 5th edition actually exists yet - I can't find it anywhere) - but this probably won't matter as a starter language.

Spend some time with that book, then switch to Kotlin (the Kotlin website itself provides good documentation, and Kotlin is simpler than Java in some important ways - eg. how it handles "generics").

What about Effective Java?

Or is it considered too advanced?

If you're looking for books, I'd recommend Kotlin in Action. It's by a couple of core developers for Kotlin. The book is relatively short, it's pretty practical but not platform specific like it's not only for android.

I like Kotlin Programming by Big Nerd Ranch though I cannot compare it to other books. But Big Nerd Ranch are reputable.

Effective Kotlin is probably for the more advanced but the book wasn't/isn't well received by this community so you will have to do your research on if it's for you.
