The Kotlin Basic course is designed for beginners who want to build a strong foundation in modern programming using Kotlin. Whether you are new to coding or transitioning from another language, this course introduces core programming concepts in a simple, structured, and practical way.
Learners will explore Kotlin syntax, variables, data types, control flow statements, functions, and null safety. The course also introduces object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, constructors, properties, and basic inheritance. Special focus is given to Kotlin’s concise syntax and safety features that make it more expressive and reliable compared to traditional languages.
Students will understand how Kotlin works with the JVM, basic IDE setup, and how to compile and run Kotlin applications. Practical exercises and small projects help reinforce concepts and build confidence.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to write clean, structured Kotlin programs and understand the fundamentals required for Android development or backend programming.
This course is ideal for students, beginners, and aspiring Android developers who want to start their programming journey with a modern and industry-relevant language.
