Description
Have you ever gone back to your code and understood nothing because it was too messy and unorganized? Have you spent tons of time trying to figure out what in the world have you written in that app?
This has happened to me many times as well and I know how frustrating this is, but we are here to actually fix it and prevent it from happening again!
Class objective
This course is about writing clean Kotlin Android code which will save you a lot of time. You will be able to write much better and consistent code, so you will never end up wasting so much time trying to understand your projects.
We will work together on your programming mindset. We are going to create a way of thinking so when you write code you also refactor it afterwards, because cleaning your code after you finish a feature is as important as having the ability to write it in the first place.
This course also features many tips and tricks on how to write clean and readable Kotlin code.
