This repository is a simple playground for Kotlin features and libraries.
Simply do a gradlew test, this is everything this project needs to be "executed".
The main subdirectory contains a dummy Console app that simply prints something.
The test subdirectory contains all the tests that describe the steps taken on playing with this language and its
libraries.
The .github\workflows\gradle.yml file contains the steps done in order to build and test this project.
The build.gradle file contains our dependencies and build configurations.
Most of the tests in this project were based on the Kotlin by Example website.
Some libraries tested out are from either Awesome: Java or Awesome: Kotlin.
In order to figure out what the heck Gradle is on how it works check out the official Getting Started guide and its resources. Basically Gradle is an automation tool for building JVM (Java, Kotlin, etc.) applications. Once you're acquainted to Gradle, check out Awesome Gradle as well.
Kotlin is pretty similar to modern C# (think 9+) - the biggest hassle you'll have is getting used to Coroutines (which " replaces" our beloved async-await and Tasks all over the place) and Gradle + Maven (they differ a lot from what we're used to when it comes to csproj and NuGet).
JUnit behaves quite similarly to NUnit, even on its verbosity 🤷♂️. If you're used to xUnit, better read up on NUnit prior to diving knee-deep into JUnit.
