Course Overview
A deep dive exploring the Kotlin Programming Language
Students will learn
all aspects of the Kotlin Programming Language. They will
also understand how to apply this knowledge to more effectively write
Android applications. This class does not focus on the server side programming aspects of Kotlin. This class does not focus on Android programming. This class focuses
on the Kotlin Programming Language and the advantages of using Kotlin when writing Android applications. You will learn how to effectively use this language to make programming fun and
interesting in Android. I will cover every concept in the Kotlin language and provide exercises to help you learn the language. This course is a deep dive into the Kotlin language, it does not just cover the basics. By the end of this
course you will fully understand the Kotlin langauge and how to use it to write Android applications.
If you have previously used Kotlin on an Android platform, I'm sure this course will deepen your understanding of it. If you have never used it, no problem, you will see that it can help you become a more efficient Android developer.
Throughout the course, you can always contact me personally to get help when you're stuck. I check the discussions regularly to help you at every step along the way.
Lastly, this course is constantly updated and refined based on student feedback. I really appreciate each and every of my students so I listen to your feedback and act on it.

This was and is a good course on Kotlin. The foundation is solid. Being new to Kotlin, I have learned some useful and important concepts. Kotlin is a nice and an alternative language to Java for Android development. A couple of suggestions to make the course more complete: it would be good to expand the course in some fashion to incorporate concepts such as concurrency, multithreading or parallel programming.
