About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Kotlin is quickly joining the ranks of the most popular programming languages. Now that Google supports Kotlin for Android app development as the primary choice over Java, we’ll only see more developers making the switch. So if you’re looking to get started with Android app development, then you’ve come to the right place. This course will be your guide on getting started with Kotlin. We’ll go over all the language basics including variable declarations, data types and the type system to conditions, loops, and functions. After this course, you’ll be able to write simple Kotlin scripts and applications. With this solid understanding of the language basics, you’ll be able to more easily follow more advanced material covering functional and object-oriented programming.

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
