🎓 Kotlin for Android & Java Developers: Clean Code on Android


Course Overview:

🚀 Master Kotlin for Android Development - Learn to write clean, null-safe, and efficient code using Kotlin, a language that's officially supported on Android alongside Java. With this course, you'll enhance your Android app development skills by leveraging Kotlin's powerful features, avoiding unnecessary boilerplate code, and writing code that is both readable and concise.


Why Take This Course?

  • Expert Instructor: I've been involved with Kotlin since late 2015 and my "Kotlin for Beginners" course has received rave reviews, including being called "beyond excellent!!!" by students.

  • Learn from the Best: My course is designed to take you through all the essentials of Kotlin, with a focus on Android development, ensuring you're up to speed with modern coding practices.

  • Hands-On Learning: You'll set up your environment for Android development using Kotlin, master both functional and object-oriented programming paradigms in Kotlin, and tackle real-world Android development tasks.


What You'll Learn:

  1. Setup for Success: Get started with all you need to begin Android development using Kotlin, including setting up Android Studio.

  2. Kotlin Basics: Dive into the fundamentals of Kotlin - variables, null safety, immutability, conditionals, loops, functions, and exception handling.

  3. Functional Programming in Kotlin: Explore advanced Kotlin features such as higher-order functions, lambda expressions, lazy evaluation, and more, all from the Kotlin standard library.

  4. Object-Oriented Programming in Kotlin: Discover how Kotlin enhances Java's object-oriented capabilities with data classes, extension functions, smart casts, and object declarations.

  5. Android Development with Kotlin: Learn to build Android applications using Kotlin, including creating activities, layouts, menus, click listeners, and working with SQLite transactions using extension functions.


What is Kotlin?

  • Modern Language for the JVM: Kotlin is a statically typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and targets Android, the web, and native applications.

  • Official Android Language: Kotlin is officially supported on Android by Google since 2017, which means you can use it to write Android apps as an alternative to Java.

  • Interoperable with Java: Kotlin is fully interoperable with Java, meaning you can use Java libraries from your Kotlin code and vice versa.


Course Highlights:

  • Professional Instruction: Gain insights from an instructor who has not only mastered Kotlin but also understands the practical applications in real-world Android development.

  • Comprehensive Curriculum: Cover all aspects of Kotlin, from the basics to advanced functional and object-oriented features, tailored specifically for Android development.

  • Real-World Skills: Learn by doing with exercises that will challenge you to apply your newfound knowledge in practical scenarios, ensuring you're ready to tackle any Android project with Kotlin.
