About the Course

Practice and expand on the fundamentals of programming that are core to any language as well as the unique aspects of Kotlin syntax. You will work with data types, functions, conditionals, operators, collections-arrays, variables and loops. Furthermore, you will declare and initialize different types of variables and explain their scope as well as create arrays and collections in Kotlin. You’ll create control flow patterns using conditionals and loops. There will be opportunities to practice using structs and classes while considering best cases for both. Discover deeper ways to use objects in Kotlin through exploring interfaces and classes. After completing this course, you will be able to: • Describe basic types and variables • Explain numbers in Kotlin • Explain what conditions are • Describe how to use loops • Explain the concept of a function  • Differentiate between a parameter and an argument • Explain that a function can return a value and describe how it works • Explain the difference between a class, an object and a type • Differentiate between various visibility modifiers • Describe the use of collections in programming • Identify which collection type to use in any given situation • Explain the difference between List, Set and Map • Synthesize the skills you gained from the course to create code for the Bank Account project. This is a beginner course for learners who would like to prepare themselves for a career as an Android developer using Kotlin. To succeed in this course, you do not need prior web development experience, only basic internet navigation skills and an eagerness to get started with coding....

The course was well taught but sometimes the instructor seams to be so fast and I had to go back severally to understand concepts and what was said. Overall, its a nice course.

The course went in depth with OOPS concepts and all the basics! It was a bit easy for me to grasp the course coming from JAVA. Thanks Meta Staff

The course has good tutorials on the various aspects of Kotlin, however the clear disregard for proofreading brings it down two stars. There are errors practically everywhere, both in the writing of the lessons, as well as in the programming code. I expected better from Meta. It almost makes me want to give up on the whole Specialization, but I likely won't. I'll just have to be prepared for future courses to be poorly edited, as well, and get whatever educational material I can out of them the best I can.

Good course on Kotlin basics. It goes over the fundamental aspects of the language in an OOP manner. Videos are okay but there could be more additions to break up the longer videos covering syntax Ie diagrams, color, charts.

The other big issue with this course is the typos(which I can live with) but the code typos which lead to Kotlin syntax errors. It would help to run a formatter before pasting the code used. The coding assignments should cover more and the capstone missed an important milestone in actually using OOP. Unless I missed it, we were not asked to use classes or interfaces, etc.

The evaluation questions are very superficial. They often call upon some technicality introduced on the previous page, instead of checking for logical understanding. On few of the questions there are typos that should change the answer.

Some questions do not have a unique answer, yet the radio-button selection only allows for a single choice.

Great introduction.

Nicer though if there where some real programming task that has to be submitted to pass the course.

The course was really concise & informative. If one has no programming knowledge at all should be able to learn a lot by completing this course. After completing this course, I'm pretty confident that, in future I would be able to handle or at least understand how to program in Kotlin.
