What You Need
To follow along with this book, you need:

- Java SE Development Kit 8+: Most of the code in this book will be run on the Java Virtual Machine or JVM, for which you need a Java Development Kit or JDK. The JDK can be downloaded from Oracle at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
- Kotlin Playground: You can also use the Kotlin Playground available at the Kotlin home page at https://play.kotlinlang.org.
