# kotlin-programming

This is a Jupyter notebook to teach introductory [Kotlin](http://kotlinlang.org/) programming.

Kotlin is a Java-based language used for programming [Android phones](https://developer.android.com/kotlin).

## Running the Kotlin Jupyter notebook locally

The Kotlin Jupyter notebook can be run locally on a PC using Anaconda.

- Install Anaconda to run Jupyter locally. Download Anaconda and do a standard install for all users.

https://www.anaconda.com/download

- Open the Start Menu

- Select Anaconda3

- Right-click on Anaconda Prompt and select More, Run as Administrator

- Run this command

C:\WINDOWS\system32>conda install kotlin-jupyter-kernel -c jetbrains

- Download the Kotlin Jupyter notebook, from this page 

https://github.com/kushnertodd/kotlin-programming

- Select Code and Download Zip

- Expand the zip into a directory.  

- Select Launch Anaconda Navigator from the Start menu. 

- Select Launch under Jupyter Notebook. 

- Open the file `notebooks/Introduction-to-Kotlin.ipynb` from the directory where you installed the notebook. 

## Running the Kotlin Jupyter notebook from the web

This runs the notebook from the web. 

- [Install Jupyter notebook on Google Cloud](./doc/INSTALLATION.md)

- Open the Kotlin Jupyter notebook web page (open with `ctrl-click`).

- Open `Introduction-to-Kotlin.ipynb` from the left side of the screen.

- Select `Using Jupyter` for instructions on using the Jupyter notebook.

- Running the notebook

  - Run the code in a code cell by selecting the cell and clicking the run icon ⯈ on the toolbar, or selecting the `Run/Run Selected Cells` menu item (try twice if it does not run the first time, be patient the first time on a page).

  - The output of the code will appear below the cell.

  - If prompted to `Save your work` on closing a page, select `Discard`.

## Setting up a Jupyter server on the web

See these instructions for [setting up a server on Google Cloud](https://towardsdatascience.com/running-jupyter-notebook-in-google-cloud-platform-in-15-min-61e16da34d52).

- Clone the Github repository `kushnertodd/kotlin-programming` 

- Start the server from that directory with the script `bin/run_jupyter.sh`
