Course Overview
Build fully functional, robust and efficient applications with Spring Boot and the Kotlin programming language
Kotlin is a programming language for the JVM (and also for Javascript and native code too) which was created by JetBrains - the company behind the IntelliJ IDE. It offers a number of enhancements over Java, including that it's less verbose, has immutable variables, and almost always gets rid of the NullPointerException. Compared to other JVM languages, such as Scala, Kotlin is an easy transition for Java developers, and the Kotlin team hope that it will eventually replace Java alltogether!
In this course we learn how to code in Kotlin, with a particular focus on how to build full stack Spring Boot applications with Kotlin.
This course is aimed at existing Spring Framework Java developers who want to upgrade their skills to use Kotlin instead of (or as well as) Java.

Great course so far - no stones unturned.

Overall a good course. I just thought you could have delved deeper into Kotlin - the "programming language" and explore a host of other capabilities and semantics the language has to offer. Perhaps could have cut down on the focus on JPA/ Hibernate to an extent- as that was never really the objective of this course. But overall a thumbs up! Thank you.

The course is good definitely, but sometimes the code in Java, especially in the functional programming section, does not use streams, for example, seems to try to make the Java code worse than it really is.

In general, it was very good, I struggled with some dependencies like reflect and versions nothing that could not be found on the internet with a little effort
