Kotlin is simple to learn for anyone with previous development expertise; understanding and learning Kotlin will be a breeze. The syntax and design of Kotlin are both simple to understand and powerful to use. This is one of the main reasons why Kotlin has superseded Java as the preferred language for developing Android apps.

Kotlin is a language that is well worth learning. It is one of the best JVM languages. In 2021, Kotlin is the best language for Android development. Although both Java and Kotlin can be used to create high-performance apps, Google libraries, documentation, and learning resources continue to favour Kotlin, making it the preferred language for Android app development today.

All you'll need is a computer that runs Microsoft Windows or Linux, or a Mac that runs OS X. It is not necessary to have any prior programming experience. This course will teach you everything you need to know.
