Modern Android App Development with Kotlin

Kotlin for Programmers

This module is for anyone who is looking to build their own Android applications. Ever since Google announced that Kotlin is the language of choice for Android development, Kotlin has become increasingly popular.

In this module, we’ll take a hands-on and project-based approach to develop Android applications. We’ll work with the most common tools that Android developers use every day, including Kotlin, Groovy, and XML. As we continue to learn, we’ll build a fully-functional Travel Blog Application that will be a great addition to our portfolio.

By the end of this module, we’ll have tangible experience in building an Android application and we’ll be ready to build even more complex projects.

## Who is this module for?
This module is designed for developers with some basic knowledge of the Kotlin core and XML.


## Module structure

The first two chapters of this module will familiarize us with Android build tools, core components, and a simple “Hello World” screen. Then, we will transition into building a travel blog application. We will start with the simple login screen and end with rendering a list of blog articles along with search and sorting functionality.

After finishing this module, we will be able to create fully-functional Android applications, load data from the network, and cache data to the local database to bring an amazing user experience.
