Our Verdict

This course provides a solid introduction to Kotlin and its object-oriented concepts while appealing to both beginners and those familiar with other programming languages like Java or Python. However, it's missing recent updates to the Kotlin language and could benefit from including more problem-solving based exercises for real-world context.

What We Liked

Comprehensive coverage of Kotlin basics, including variables, data types, conditionals, collections, loops, and functions
Strong emphasis on object-oriented software development and the principles behind other OOP languages like Java and C++
Instructor teaches in a clear and understandable manner, making it easier for beginners to grasp complex concepts
Availability of multiple quizzes throughout the course helps reinforce learning and engage students

Potential Drawbacks

Lacks more problem-oriented teaching approach and practical examples which would make learning more effective
Lacks coverage on higher order functions, lambdas, and more recent updates to Kotlin language since 1.0.0
Explanations can sometimes be too high-level for absolute beginners with no prior programming experience
Not enough examples provided throughout the course, leaving students without guidance on how to apply new knowledge
