"This course is your practical hands-on introduction to the world of Kotlin. You start out learning about Kotlin itself, its principles and its benefits, then dive right into functional programming and object orientation in Kotlin. You’ll then dive into building an Android app purely in Kotlin, using powerful language features and best practices. At the end, you'll be able to use Kotlin confidently in future Android apps as well as other platforms."
--Instructor Peter Sommerhoff

about the subject

Kotlin is a modern programming language for the JVM developed by Jetbrains, the makers of the IntelliJ IDE. Kotlin allows you to write highly expressive, understandable, and safe code—and it’s 100% interoperable with Java. Kotlin and Java are the only officially supported languages for Android development.

What’s more, Kotlin for Android & Java Developers will show you how to avoid the most common coding errors in your Android apps.

Your visual learning experience begins with the Kotlin language basics. Next up are functional and object-oriented programming in Kotlin.
