Kotlin has been growing in popularity among developers for some time. It was given even more recognition when Google announced in 2019 that Kotlin was now their preferred language for Android development.

In this comprehensive course, you’ll start by learning the fundamentals, such as: how Java and Kotlin differ, how to work with functions, and how to utilize collections, something you’ll work with extensively in Kotlin.

In the latter half of the course, you’ll be introduced to more advanced concepts like lambdas, fluency in Kotlin, and asynchronous programming. In the last section of the course, you’ll take what you’ve learned and build out an Android application that talks to a backend service.

By the time you’re done with this course, you’ll have a thorough mastery of this modern JVM language. This course is based on the PragProg book, Programming Kotlin, written by the extraordinary, experienced programming-language enthusiast: Venkat Subramaniam.
