Kotlin Overview. Is Java Dead?5:55
Welcome to the Kotlin Tutorials for Beginners for Android. Kotlin has been announced as Official Android Language at Google I/O 2017. Does it means Java will die? No, Java wont die but Kotlin is more powerful than Java for making Android Apps. So lets begin the series of Kotlin Programming right from the next video. And install Java JDK for windows and Macosx and also install Intellij idea created by JetBrains.

Kotlin Setup for Windows: Installing Java JDK5:19
Kotlin Programming requires Java virtual machine to execute its code. So we need to install Java JDK to provide runtime environment for Kotlin Coding. So lets first setup Java jdk on windows. Kotlin is officially now language for Android app development.
Kotlin Setup for Windows: Install INTELLIJ IDEA2:50
Kotlin Tutorial for Beginners android: We will do kotlin programming in INTELLIJ IDEA. So lets first install it in case of Windows.
Kotlin Setup for Mac OSX: Installing Java JDK3:47
Kotlin Tutorial for beginners Android: Kotlin Programming requires Java virtual machine to execute its code. So we need to install Java JDK to provide runtime environment for Kotlin Coding. So lets first setup Java jdk on MacOSX. Kotlin is officially now language for Android app development.
Kotlin Setup for MacOSX: Install INTELLIJ IDEA2:38
Kotlin Tutorial for Beginners android: We will do kotlin programming in INTELLIJ IDEA. So lets first install it in case of MacOSX. Kotlin is officially now language for Android app development.

Using REPL for Kotlin Programming6:07
Kotlin Android tutorial. Lets learn how to create a new kotlin project and start coding inside the REPL. REPL allows developers to execute their code as quickly as possible. Kotlin has been declared as official android language at Google IO 2017.
Overview of Data Types: Variables and Constants6:15
Kotlin Android Tutorial. Lets learn about Variables and Constants and various data types defined in Kotlin. In kotlin we have everything as objects. String, Integer, Float etc all are objects. There is no primitive data types in Kotlin.
Let's Explore Data Types in Intellij IDEA4:39
Kotlin Android Tutorial. Lets learn about Variables and Constants and various data types defined in Kotlin. In kotlin we have everything as objects. String, Integer, Float etc all are objects. There is no primitive data types in Kotlin.
String Templates: Concept of Interpolation7:01
Kotlin Android Tutorials for Beginners. Learn about String Templates and how to apply interpolation on various data types such as Integer, Float, Double and even Class Objects.
Ranges5:32
Kotlin Android Tutorial. Lets explore how to define Range of values for number integers and also characters in Kotlin

Overview3:14
Kotlin Tutorial for Beginners. Lets explore FOR, WHILE and DO WHILE loop in Kotlin. Also checkout various Loop control statements such as BREAK, CONTINUE and RETURN statements.
FOR Loop4:40
Kotlin for Beginners. lets explore FOR Loop Iterator in detail.
WHILE Loop4:17
Kotlin for Beginners. lets explore FOR Loop Iterator in detail
DO WHILE Loop4:17
Lets explore Kotlin DO WHILE loop in demo and also understand how it works

Functions Basics and Syntax6:33
Lets checkout Functions in Kotlin. Functions with parameters, without parameters, functions with return type and functions with unit ( void ) return type.
Functions as Expressions5:39
Interoperability: How Kotlin Code is Compiled?5:11
During compilation the Kotlin file is converted to Class file containing Byte Code which in runtime executed by Java Virtual Machine JVM. Lets explore concepts in detail
Interoperability: How to call Kotlin functions from Java File and vice-versa9:54
Default Functions: Using @JvmOverloads for Interoperability6:35
Named Parameters3:43
Extension Functions11:36
Learn about Extension functions which allows us to add new functions to the existing classes such as Student, String and so on
Infix Function4:12
Lets explore INFIX function that are also Extension functions in Kotlin which we explored in the previous video
Tailrec Function: Use Recursion in Optimised way6:48
Unlike Java, C++ or C, in Kotlin there exists TAILREC functions that implements recursion without affecting the Stack Memory of your application. So the exception such as STACKOVERFLOW exception is avoided

Class Definition, init Block, Properties and Primary Constructor10:25
Learn about Object oriented concepts in Kotlin such as Class, Objects, init block, properties, and Primary Constructors
Secondary Constructor7:01
Learn about Class, Secondary and Primary Constructors, init block and also how to trigger constructors while creating class objects
Inheritance Explained7:34
Complete explanation of Inheritance in Kotlin. It is comparable to that of Java. So lets see what it is and also checkout the advantages of using Inheritance in Kotlin
Demo: Inheritance with Example6:17
Lets explore Inheritance inside the Intellij IDEA. In Inheritance we need to use "open" keyword to inherit properties from a super class
Overriding Properties and Methods9:29
Role of Primary and Secondary Constructors in Inheritance10:17
Lets explore the role of primary and secondary constructors in case of Kotlin while performing Inheritance in object oriented kotlin programming

Requirements

No previous knowledge on kotlin required. We will dive deep from very basics.
Just a computer running Microsoft Windows/Linux/Mac running OS. We will install JDK + IntelliJ with every steps explained and shown.

Description

2024 Update: My Udemy courses are not being updated anymore.

I have joined Droidcon Academy and leading the platform. I will continue my passion for teaching by working with thousands of instructors and helping them create high-quality courses for you. Thank you for your enormous support.

>> Develop skills in Kotlin from scratch, the most beautiful modern programming language based on Java and now used for Android!

>> Expand your expertise as a Java/Android Developer and improve the quality of your code!

We begin with basics such that the beginners get a good grab over the language. There will be quizzes and coding challenges so that you test your learning.
Then we will get along with the intermediate level and create Android Apps and integrate Kotlin with Java.

The course goes on as:

Installation of the development environment
Understanding how program flow works in Kotlin.
Variables & Opertors.
Logic and making decision.
Binary and hexadecimal numbers.
Loops.
Working with files.
Functions.
OOPs in Kotlin.
Data Classes.
Collections and types of collections: List, Arrays, Map and Set
Lambdas and High Level Function
Predicates
Multi Processing.Information hiding principles and generics.

At last, get started with your first Kotlin Android App.

Give us the review and feedback to improve the course.

Once you understand the concept of OOPs explained here for Kotlin, this basic paradigm being same for all other languages, you can master others too!
(Java, PHP, C#, C++)

This course will be shaped as you want it to be. There will be more contents based on your reviews and feedback. Help this start reach heights with your valuable opinions.

Get in now and be the part!

Who this course is for:

You should be eager to learn this awesome programming language!
You do not need programming skills, we will start from scratch, heading towards intermediate and then to advanced topics.
Anyone who wants to use kotlin for existing and new Android Apps, get this for yourself.
