## Source excerpt

This blog post is going to discuss creating a project from scratch in Kotlin. We will build a sample Todo List application that will not be very complicated, but covers enough to show the benefits of Kotlin. Part 1 will discuss creating a new project and configuring Kotlin. If you're familiar with that, copy the MainActivity.kt code and skip to part 2 to begin building the app. This tutorial assumes a basic knowledge of programming, and some familiarity with Android. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments, and I will udpate these posts with a deeper explanation.
