A Complete Guide To Learn Kotlin For Android Development

As Google had officially declared Kotlin as a first-class language for Android in May 2017. It’s time for you to learn Kotlin and write your Android applications in Kotlin.

Kotlin is a statically typed programming language for the JVM, Android

Why use Kotlin for Android Development? Three very important points are as follows:

Concise: Drastically reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write.

Drastically reduce the amount of boilerplate code you need to write. Safe: Avoid entire classes of errors such as null pointer exceptions.

Avoid entire classes of errors such as null pointer exceptions. Interoperable: Leverage existing frameworks and libraries of the JVM with 100% Java Interoperability.

As we can see that the Kotlin is concise, safe and interoperable, these three things make it a very beautiful language.

Now, what are the things we will be covering in this free Kotlin Course:
