-What`s this about?
This will be a series of blog posts on switching from Java to Kotlin. It will start with a basic “Write Java with Kotlin syntax” post and build on it. By the end of the post series, a reader should expect to possess a decent grasp on the Kotlin framework.

-Where did the idea for this come from?
It got stated as part of a presentation to coworkers on a Kotlin app I had created. There was some spare time, so I included a 20 minute Kotlin demo. The 20 minute demo ended up becoming a 50 minute demo, as there was ravenous interest to learn more. I soon realised that this needed more than a quick demo. I could have made an internal wiki page on it, but realised that the knowledge I wanted to share to my coworkers would also be of benefit to Java developers outside of the company. Thus, a series of blog posts is being created to share this knowledge.

A special thank you to Bevan, Jason, and Juan for helping me decide on how these posts should be.
