Course Description

Are you a Java developer wondering if you need to learn Kotlin?
Maybe you are an experienced Java developer who wants to learn Kotlin quickly, to be prepared for future project work.
Perhaps instead, you're an Android app developer who knows Java well, but you want to be able to move forward with Kotlin for new Android development work.
Well, with Google's recent focus on Kotlin for Android app development, this language has been launched into the mainstream, and you can be sure you will be seeing a lot more about it. It's also highly likely that you will be working with Kotlin in your Java projects in the near future.
Because Kotlin works anywhere Java works, and can even be called from Java code (and vice-versa), this brings with it a massive opportunity for Java developers. Being able to work with both Java and Kotlin is going to give you a massive advantage over other programmers.

This course was designed to teach Java developers how to use Kotlin in the shortest possible time.

Sarah Ettritch, your course instructor, is an experienced Java and Kotlin developer, with many years of software development experience. She is uniquely qualified to teach you how to use this powerful and exciting language.
While you won't learn Android app development in this course, you will learn Kotlin, and also the key differences between Kotlin and Java.
There is an entire section dedicated to Java interoperability, which is vital for all Java developers to learn.
In addition, the Kotlin syntax is explored in detail.
Over sixteen hours of videos are included in the course, making it one of the most comprehensive courses on the language.
Now is the perfect time for you to learn Kotlin, while it's relatively new. It has been around for a while, but only now is it being thrust into the limelight.

It's absolutely vital for Java developers to learn Kotlin to maximize future career opportunities. Objective-C developers who failed to transition to Swift, or were too slow doing so, were left behind. Don't make the same mistake they did!

Tim's been a professional software developer for over 35 years. During his career he has worked for major companies such as Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Saab.

His video courses are used to train developers in major companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Paypal, VW, Pitney Bowes, IBM and T-Mobile just to name a few (via the Udemy for Business program).

What makes Tim unique is his professional programming career - many instructors have never programmed professionally, let alone had a distinguished professional development career like Tim.

Tim has trained over 537,000 students how to program, way more than a typical IT Professor at a college does in a lifetime.

In fact, Tim's courses are often purchased by students struggling to get through a colleges programming courses.
"I am learning a lot about Java very quickly. I wish my college courses worked this way, they drag the same amount of material out over months." - Thomas Neal

"I love this guy. I'm in school for java right now at a local college and I bought this course hoping it would help clarify the fuzzy areas of my coursework. There's no comparison. Every time I get lost in my text book, I watch a couple more of these videos and I'm right back on track. He explains everything so perfectly. It sinks right in." - Kristen Andreani

"Tim is a great instructor, I have more courses from him and all are great. This one really helped me with my understanding of Java from the very beginnings. In fa

perfect course for a java developer looking to get into Kotlin in the most time-efficient manner :-)

By Fabian Hartmann on

Perfect start for Java developers to learn Kotlin. As Java experience is a prerequisite, the course doesn't take baby steps and gets you up to speed with Kotlin right away.

By Matt Mackie on

Really dig both the instructors so far! I like the manual conversion of Java => Kotlin first - it introduces the language very quickly and practically.

By Derick Melendez on

This class is thorough, but for something called Kotlin for Java Developers there is too much explanation about Java concepts. In addition the instructor take way too long to explain certain concepts by going in circles, the Variance section alone could be half as long if they were more concise and stopped betting around the bush.

By Jonathan Zea on

I'm a java developer with 3 years of experience. I really enjoyed the course. It gave me a fresh feeling of the new technologies and languages upcoming.

By Vasileios Kassikos on

It is a great course if you have a good knowledge of java. I recommend it.

By Mohit Ajwani on

The course was as expected. I was expecting a test of skills or an online playground for coding instead of downloading resources module by module.

By Aurlien Audelin on

Qualit du cours au rendez-vous, j'y ai appris beaucoup. J'aurais aim quelques liens vers de rfrences et des exos un peu plus compliqu que ce qui est vu en cours.

By Asad Khan on

It was a fantastic experience, taking this course. All the basics were covered in a simple and concise way.The lessons are conveniently structured in bite-size chunks which makes it easy to complete the course without having long contiguous time slots for learning. I enjoyed every step of this journey.Kudos to the authors & instructors

By David Kogan on

A super rundown of Kotlin. The teacher is very competent and has a good voice to listen to.Thanks a lot, I will use the new knowledge for a long term project that I will work on in the future.I give a 4,5-star rating because some lectures the sound is actually is quieter than the rest and it was irritating me.
