Intro to Kotlin Training Course

Learn Kotlin. Build anything.

About the course

This Kotlin training course equips you with the essential language skills, syntax, and best practices to excel in modern, cross-platform development.

You'll learn to write effective, idiomatic Kotlin code and harness its seamless Java interoperability for JVM applications, native Android development (using Android Studio), and JavaScript compilation.

This course provides the core knowledge to create and deploy multiplatform Kotlin apps and can be combined with other courses, such as our Kotlin for Android course and/or Spring Boot with Kotlin course to build a comprehensive training programme for people new to both technologies.

Instructor-led online and in-house face-to-face options are available - as part of a wider customised training programme, or as a standalone workshop, on-site at your offices or at one of many flexible meeting spaces in the UK and around the World.

    • Write idiomatic Kotlin code.
    • Set up a Kotlin development environment.
    • Understand Kotlin's syntax and core concepts.
    • Create Kotlin classes and objects.
    • Implement flow control and handle nullability in Kotlin.
    • Apply inheritance and abstraction in Kotlin.
    • Work with collections and generics in Kotlin.
    • Define and use functions, including higher-order functions.
    • Structure Kotlin projects with packages.
    • Develop cross-platform Kotlin applications

  • This course is perfect for software developers who want to expand their skills and learn Kotlin for building cross-platform applications.

  • This course is designed for software developers with existing experience in a language such as Python, JavaScript, Java, or C#, who want to gain a solid foundation in Kotlin for modern application development.

    We would be happy to adapt and incorporate this course into a training programme for non-coders (for instance, as part of a graduate scheme for STEM students) - please get in touch to discuss your learning goals.

  • This Kotlin course is available for private / custom delivery for your team - as an in-house face-to-face workshop at your location of choice, or as online instructor-led training via MS Teams (or your own preferred platform).

    Get in touch to find out how we can deliver tailored training which focuses on your project requirements and learning goals.
