Kotlin Programming

Overview

Kotlin is a modern language that can be used to write code for the Java Virtual Machine but can also used to write JavaScript applications and native applications for Linux, macOS and Windows. Kotlin has many similarities with Java but is much less verbose and avoids many of the shortcomings of Java that have become evident over the years. Google has named Kotlin as its preferred language for Android programming.

This course covers all the major features of the latest release of Kotlin.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Write, compile and execute Kotlin programs
• Build robust applications using Kotlin
• Utilise the artifacts in the Kotlin library
• Use the object-oriented features of Kotlin
• Use the functional features of Kotlin
• Understand how Kotlin relates to different execution environments

Audience

This course is aimed primarily at programmers who are interested in developing applications in Kotlin. Engineers, analysts and managers will also find it useful.

Prerequisites

Participants are expected to be familiar with at least one other programming language, but no other prior knowledge is assumed. Those with a prior knowledge of Java would be better served by our Kotlin Programming for Java Programmers course.
