To get the most out of this book

To run examples from this book, you will need a computer running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS. You also need IntelliJ IDEA (Ultimate edition version is preferable) and Android Studio. You need basic knowledge of GitHub and Git to clone a project with examples.

Since Kotlin is an official language for Android development, Android Studio supports this language out of the box. For IntelliJ IDEA you need to install a plugin that is available for download from https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6954-kotlin.
