This course is an easy-to-follow guide with a step-by-step approach which will get you up and running with Kotlin basics and fundamentals such as variables, data types, string templates, expressions, values, and loops. You will also learn to design application structures using functional programming concepts and implement business logic using tools provided by Arrow library. Next you will be introduced to using the Android Studio IDE which covers the concepts such as functions, lambdas, properties, object oriented code, safety aspects and type parameterization, Microservices, testing, concurrency which will guide you to write Kotlins code to production. Finally you will be mastering to integrate Kotlin in any existing Android project built using C++ or Java. By the end of the course, youll be able to write faster & cleaner code to build your own robust program in Kotlin to make your life easy as a Kotlin developer. Also you will be more proficient in using Kotlin for any kind of app development.
