Description
Course Outline and Goals
The Kotlin: The Big Picture Course, delivered by the tutor Markus Neuhoff, provides a clear and yet informative presentation of the modern Kotlin language. The course is 55 minutes long, and therefore it can be viewed as a suitable starting point for inexperienced users, providing a broad overview of what Kotlin can do, including its origins, advantages of its syntax, null-safety features, and functional programming capabilities. It is expected that the Kotlin: The Big Picture Course will target developers and technical decision-makers who want to learn how Kotlin can be applied in their projects and how it simplifies coding compared to previous languages.
Important points of the course
Course materials have three broad sections. Then, you will be taught the syntax of Kotlin, including its main advantages, which include the use of shorthands, null-proofing, and functional code writing. Then we will see the applications of Kotlin in a real-life scenario, including Android and cross-platform mobile app development, as well as backend and web apps with Kotlin/JS. Finally, the last part presents some of the most popular development platforms and environments, such as IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio, as well as popular libraries to be used with Kotlin.
Audience and outcomes of courses
The Kotlin: The Big Picture Course is suitable for individuals with no prior experience with Kotlin, as well as those who are willing to use it in their projects. Having read the course, you will be able to clearly see the pluses and minuses of Kotlin and make an understandable decision on whether this language is suitable for your team, project, etc. The fundamentals of Kotlin-style coding will also be taught to you so that you can rest assured of starting your much more specific learning path in the field of Android, web, or backend.
