The Art of Doing: Dive Into Android Development with Kotlin
Master the fundamentals of Android Studio, Android app development, and the Kotlin programming language
Course Description
The Art of Doing: Dive into Android development with Kotlin is a course that takes the time to lay a foundation and build upon it. We won’t just get Android Studio installed and rush through all it does for us in creating a project. Instead, we will walk through each file created and the given starter code, so you feel like you are in control of the applications you are writing! We’ll continue on this trend of fully explaining and gaining a mastery level of understanding of concepts as we explore various views, layout styles, view and data binding, fragments and navigation, and lastly MVVM architecture.
In this course, we will walk through, step by step, how to design the layout and the functionality of unique, engaging, and purposeful apps. Together, we will work through 15 sections of this course. Each section will highlight concepts and ideas, explaining every step along the way and answering any questions you might have.
By the end of this course, you will be coming up with your own app ideas and feel confident enough in your abilities to create them.
