Course Overview

This remote training program is designed for teams who want to gradually master Kotlin over three months. The training follows a structured approach based on Kotlin Crash Course, covering fundamentals, object-oriented programming, collections, functional programming, coroutines, delegation pattern, and unit testing.

Each session includes practical exercises and real-world applications, ensuring that participants apply their learning incrementally.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this training, participants will:

  • Gain a deep understanding of Kotlin fundamentals and best practices.
  • Learn how to write idiomatic and maintainable Kotlin code.
  • Master null safety techniques and avoid common pitfalls.
  • Work with control flow statements (if, when, loops) to manage logic.
  • Use Kotlin collections effectively for data manipulation.
  • Apply object-oriented principles, including classes, interfaces, and inheritance.
  • Understand functional programming concepts and write concise Kotlin code.
  • Work with coroutines for efficient asynchronous programming.
  • Implement the delegation pattern to improve code structure.
  • Gain hands-on experience with unit testing using Kotlin test frameworks.

Course Structure

Duration: 3 months (1 session per week, 4 hours per session)
Format: Remote (live interactive sessions)

Month 1: Kotlin Fundamentals

  • Introduction to Kotlin: Language overview and advantages.
  • Setting up the development environment: IntelliJ IDEA, Gradle.
  • Basic syntax: Variables (val vs var), type inference, functions.
  • Control flow statements: if, when, loops, exception handling.
  • Null safety and best practices.

Month 2: Advanced Kotlin Concepts

  • Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Classes, objects, interfaces, and inheritance.
  • Kotlin Collections: Lists, Sets, Maps, filtering, and sorting.
  • Functional Programming: Lambdas, higher-order functions, and immutability.
  • Delegation Pattern: Best practices for code reuse and maintainability.

Month 3: Coroutines, Testing & Real-World Applications

  • Coroutines & Asynchronous Programming: Suspending functions, structured concurrency.
  • Unit Testing in Kotlin: Writing and running tests with JUnit & MockK.
  • Best practices for clean code and project organization.
  • Hands-on Kotlin development exercises.
  • Final project: Implementing a real-world Kotlin application.

Who Should Attend?

  • Developers new to Kotlin who prefer a gradual, applied learning approach.
  • Java developers transitioning to Kotlin.
  • Teams adopting Kotlin for backend or cloud-based applications.
