Description
If you want to learn how to create an Android app, the best way to go is to learn Kotlin – a language which is officially supported by Google and embraced by Pinterest, Evernote, Uber, Twitter, and many more first-class global leaders in their tech stacks. In this course, you’ll develop a fully functioning app from the ground up. No experience is necessary, as we’ll go from a complete beginner step. You’ll get a comprehensive Kotlin tutorial and will practice using Android Studio – the #1 Android development platform.
Why learn Kotlin today?
Rumors are that Kotlin is going to replace Java in Android app development similar way as Swift has pushed out Objective C in building iOS apps. There’s been an explosion in call for Kotlin developers over the last two years, so it’s worth learning how to make an Android app with Kotlin. What makes Kotlin a choice of many companies that are building Android apps?
- First of all, it’s speed. Kotlin code consists of fewer lines to do the same things as other languages. Developers love clean and concise code, which means saving time for writing it, reading, and debugging.
- It’s a good idea to learn Kotlin to improve the overall quality of apps that you build. How? It’s done through safety features that reduce the chance of bugs and system failures.
- Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java, which means you’ll be able to use the powerful Kotlin’s features working with existing classes, and you won’t need to rewrite them to Kotlin.
What will you learn in this course?
You will get the skillset necessary at building Android apps – first and foremost, building exciting and interactive UIs. You’ll create a to-do list app which will be fully ready to use. You’ll be able to pull all the source files of your project and add the product in your portfolio.
It’s recommended to complete the course in 7 days, working on subjects one by one each day.
- We’ll start with an introduction to Android Studio – everything from s basic as downloading and installing software to understanding layout relationships, setting up an emulator, all the way up to debugging an app.
