The 7 Day Android App Bootcamp - Android Pie and Kotlin (Udemy.com)

This course has some basic classes focused on explain how to make things (it makes sense because I think that is good for start making an app) it doesn't have deep theoretical concepts about OOP and similar. The instructor has great dictation and explain cleanly. It's my first contact with Android Development and I liked it (currently I have only knowledge in backend dev). In a short period it's possible to make a basic app and see things working. Great!

Course is quite outdated; A lot of the things don't work directly and requires considerable amount of troubleshooting on your part

I missed some theory to understand better why I was doing some stuff and not just coding the whole time. It would be nice some slides with that explanation. The Kotlin part could be expanded a little bit with better examples. For example, too many examples for explaining an if-else condition. Anyway, for a quick introduction it was good and the content too.

The course was a good beginning on Kotlin and basic app development. I had the opportunity to practice what was being taught and rI developed all three apps. I also practiced out the Kotlin part. The instructor asked to pause video and try it before giving answer. This helped in checking the answer. I saw difference in Basic Activity use. My Android studio created basic activity with 2 fragments and I couldn't find any way to avoid that. Ultimately I was able to figure out a way using one fragment. The following things need more looking at 1. Kotlin features: classes, file i/o, collections, coroutines 2. Updating the lectures for the app based on latest Android Studio 3. Looking at more concepts of Kotlin Android programming such as fragments, activities, etc

It was very interesting at the beginning, because the introduction to the code was pretty good. But as the content became more complex, the teacher stopped explaining the meaning of the code that we were writing; from the second app and so on, it became to just copy/paste. I would have preferred to learn just the first and second app, much more explained, and not making the third one, and also not the Java section. Nonetheless, I was able to improve the first app by myself (Tip Calculator) by inquiring in the Kotlin documentation and Stack Overflow, so at least it was a start for me.

As a recent college graduate, the material is a great review. The instructor does a great job of explaining the concepts in the course in an easy to understand engaging way. For me, it helped bridge the gap of how to apply the skills I already know to Kotlin and Android studio. I've studied object oriented programming and I've studied Visual Basic. This course is more modern in terms of industry desired tools and skills. It is encouraging to realize that I will be programming my own ideas soon.

This was a very enjoyable introduction into building android apps using kotlin. It does everything required to break the ice with app development form creating a new project right down to publishing an app on the app store. The purpose here is to wet the appetite and to show that using the tools provided the creation of apps can be done by anyone. I enjoyed the experience and would recommend this course to anyone. I enjoyed the enthusiasm of the tutor liked the hands on approach to creating the apps.

The course provided me the basics of kotlin programming. The material definitely got familiar with the tool and the important concept of list views and adapters. I wish there had been an example of how to make an http request to a server and get back some data. There were times I had to pause and backup in order to follow along. I would have given it 5 stars, if Nick had paused the screen for 10 seconds or so, allowing me absorb what I was seeing and not cause me to pause so often and replay segments. Overall very much worth my time.

I have taken several classes with Nick and the bottom line is that the guy knows what he's talking about. In this course, both the Kotlin and Java languages were covered. The exercises did a nice job of showing both Java and Kotlin in action. If there is one "quirk" I have with Nick's classes, it's that I wish that he would provide the source code for the exercises as well.

This is an excellent short course to get the gist of Kotlin and Android Studio concepts. I already knew Java coming into this course and very basic Android Studio. I took this course because I wanted to get a quick rundown of certain Android Studio concepts that I wasn't sure of and learn Kotlin along the way. After completing this course, I feel a lot more comfortable navigating my way around Android Studio and have gained a good understanding of Kotlin. There's also some bonus Java material at the end for those who don't know Java.
