Introduction to Kotin

Course Outline

• Chapter 1: Getting Started with Kotlin

  This chapter introduces Kotlin, its history, benefits, and basic syntax. You'll write your first Kotlin program and learn about variables, data types, and basic input/output.

  • Introduction to Kotlin
  • Your First Kotlin Program
  • Kotlin Basics
  • Basic Input and Output

• Chapter 2: Control Flow

  This chapter covers conditional statements, loops, ranges, and exception handling in Kotlin. You'll learn how to control the flow of your program using these constructs.

  • Conditional Statements
  • Loops
  • Ranges and Iterations
  • Exception Handling

• Chapter 3: Functions

  This chapter covers defining functions, higher-order functions, inline functions, and recursion in Kotlin. You'll learn how to create and use functions to organize and reuse code effectively.

  • Defining Functions
  • Higher-Order Functions
  • Inline Functions
  • Recursion

• Chapter 4: Object-Oriented Programming

  This chapter covers object-oriented programming concepts in Kotlin, including classes and objects, inheritance, interfaces, and data classes and sealed classes. You'll learn how to create and use these constructs to organize and reuse code effectively.

  • Classes and Objects
  • Inheritance
  • Interfaces
  • Data Classes and Sealed Classes

• Chapter 5: Collections and Generics

  This chapter covers collections and generics in Kotlin, including lists, sets, maps, and how to use generics in functions and classes. You'll learn how to create and manipulate these collections and understand the importance of generics for flexible and reusable code.

  • Collections Overview
  • Working with Lists
  • Working with Maps
  • Generics

• Chapter 6: Functional Programming

  This chapter covers functional programming concepts in Kotlin, including lambdas, higher-order functions, functional operations on collections, and an optional section on coroutines. You'll learn how to write code in a functional style and understand the benefits of functional programming.

  • Functional Programming Basics
  • Lambdas and Higher-Order Functions
  • Collections and Functional Programming
  • Coroutines

• Chapter 7: Advanced Kotlin Features

  This chapter covers advanced Kotlin features, including extension functions, null safety, type-safe builders, and domain-specific languages (DSLs). You'll learn how to use these features to write more expressive and maintainable code.

  • Extension Functions
  • Null Safety
  • Type-Safe Builders
  • DSL (Domain-Specific Language)

• Chapter 8: Practical Applications

  This chapter focuses on practical applications using Kotlin, including making HTTP requests, parsing JSON responses, and rendering content. You'll learn how to build a complete project that integrates these concepts.

  • Building a Simple Console Application
  • Debugging and Testing
  • Working with APIs
  • Final Project
