Developer skills training: Kotlin Professional Developer

Learn a new language!

Kotlin is perceived as the Java alternative with many benefits. It's an open-source programming language used for Android development. If you're already using Kotlin, and want to know the ins and outs of the language, this training will help you to master them. If you are new to Kotlin but will be using it in the near future, this is where you can start learning a new language! A combination of theory, live coding, and hands-on exercises will help you develop Android apps or write Back-end applications with Kotlin.

This Kotlin Professional Developer training is perfect for...

We recommend you to join us if you are an Android Developer, Back-end Developer, Senior Developer, or Architect who wants to innovate the Java-based application landscape. Basic programming skills are required. We assume, if you ended up on this page, you probably have them!
