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.


Congratulations! We have successfully completed the Modern Android App Development with Kotlin module. 

## Summary
We built a fully-functional travel blog application while working with some of the most common tools, including Kotlin, Groovy, and XML.

## Takeaways
- We learned about the basic constructs and features of Kotlin like variables and mutable types, nullable types and type inference, conditions and expressions, collections, loops, and several types of functions.

- We learned about the advanced concepts of Kotlin like lambdas, fluency in Kotlin, asynchronous programming, unit testing, and the programming of a spring application with Kotlin.

- We learned how to develop an Android application with Kotlin, load data from the network, and cache data to the local database.
