Bite-Size Kotlin Training
Course Overview
This remote training program is designed for teams who want to master Kotlin gradually over three months — without pulling your developers away from project work for a full week. 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, so your team applies what they learn incrementally to your codebase.
What Your Team Will Be Able to Do
After completing this training, your developers will:
- Write idiomatic, maintainable Kotlin code grounded in a deep understanding of the language fundamentals and best practices.
- Eliminate null pointer exceptions by mastering Kotlin’s null safety techniques and avoiding common pitfalls.
- Handle complex business logic confidently using control flow statements (
if,when, loops) and structured error handling. - Process and transform data efficiently using Kotlin collections for filtering, sorting, mapping, and aggregation.
- Design modular, reusable systems by applying object-oriented principles — classes, interfaces, and inheritance.
- Write concise, expressive code using functional programming concepts including lambdas and higher-order functions.
- Build responsive, non-blocking applications with coroutines for efficient asynchronous programming.
- Simplify code architecture using the delegation pattern to reduce boilerplate and improve maintainability.
- Ship with confidence by writing and running unit tests 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 (
valvsvar), 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.
