Kotlin for Java Developers

JetBrains

Kotlin for Java Developers is a comprehensive course designed to equip Java developers with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of the Kotlin programming language. This course delves into the modern features and advantages of Kotlin, emphasizing its concise syntax, safety, and seamless interoperability with Java code. Through a series of engaging modules, learners will gain a thorough understanding of Kotlin's key concepts and practical applications across various domains, including server-side development and Android apps.

The course begins with an insightful introduction to Kotlin, providing a historical overview and highlighting its development environment. As learners transition from Java to Kotlin, they will explore essential topics such as variables, functions, conditionals, and loops, gaining hands-on experience through programming assignments and interactive playground sessions. The module on nullability and functional programming delves into nullable types, lambdas, and common operations on collections, emphasizing Kotlin's functional capabilities and practical applications. Subsequent modules cover properties, object-oriented programming (OOP), conventions, sequences, lambdas with receiver, and types, enabling learners to master advanced features and design choices in Kotlin.

  • Learn the principles and benefits of Kotlin's concise syntax and Java interoperability.
  • Gain hands-on experience with practical programming assignments, including the development of a Mastermind game and functional style implementations.
  • Explore advanced topics such as properties, OOP design choices, sequences, and the Kotlin type hierarchy.
  • Understand the power of Kotlin's standard library and its applicability in real-world scenarios.

Upon completion of this course, learners will emerge with a deep understanding of Kotlin's capabilities, empowering them to leverage its features for enhanced productivity and efficiency in their development projects.
