Course Information
Course Overview
Using Kotlin, MVVM, Dagger2, Navigation, Retrofit and Unit tests
Build a State of the Art Android App with this new course on Android development and Kotlin.
Most tutorials and how to's show you the basics of app building, but they don't show you how to use the latest technologies and libraries.
Most projects and jobs require you to know how to use the latest libraries. This is what this course is all about.
The purpose of this course is to give you a practical example of how to use these technologies, all while building a simple example app.
We will learn about:
MVVM architecture using the Google recommended Android Lifecycle Extensions
Retrofit and JSON for remote server communication
RxJava as a reactive framework
Dagger2 for dependency injection
Jetpack navigation for navigating the user through the app screens
Jetpack Data Binding for building UI screens
Glide for seamless image loading
Jetpack Palette for extracting colors from images
Unit tests to test the application and make it stable and robust
And we will build everything in Kotlin, the shiny new language that Google recommends
If you want to become an expert Android Developer, you need to know how to use these technologies.
If you want to build an app that scales and is robust, these technologies will make your life easy in the long term.
Sign up today, and let's learn how to properly build a State of the Art Android Application.

MVVM, Retrofit, Dependcy Injection using Dagger , Data Binding 등의 주제를 공부하고 싶은 사람에게는 매우 좋은 시작점이 된다고 봅니다. 예제를 단계별로 주제에 맞게 풀어나가는 모습이 매우 좋습니다. 한국어 자막은 없지만, 어렵지 않은 영어이므로 쉽게 이해할 수 있다고 봅니다. 아쉬운 면도 몇가지 있습니다. 나온지 시간이 조금 지난 상태여서 ViewModel 에 Flow 등에 대한 설명이 없습니다. 그리고 ReyclerView Adapter 가 사용하는 View 가 한가지만 있어서 다양한 View type 에 대한 처리를 볼 수 없습니다. 그 외에는 대단히 만족스러웠습니다.

Just finished with the lessons. I would say that this is a great material and would compare with having an experienced colleague showing you the tools with quick examples how it all can be used, and then it is really up to you to learn on your own (but now, you know well where you should get with it). I think this is really good course, and it can be recommended to everybody learning Android. Thank you Stefan! Good luck with your future work!

Thanks again Catalin. You deserve 5 *, because you deliver the concepts in a very simple and perfect way, but not including a repository in this project is a drawback in my opinion. Good Luck
