Introduction
Kotlin relies on the Java Class Library, and there are several integrated development environments (IDEs) to choose from for developing with Kotlin. This course explores the basics of Kotlin and its tools. You'll begin by learning that Kotlin relies on the Java Class Library, and there are several integrated development environments (IDEs) to choose from to develop Kotlin applications. This course describes the Kotlin language and its features, and shows you the differences and similarities between Kotlin and Java. As you progress, you'll also earn about various Kotlin data types, including variables, constants, strings, and arrays. Explore basic Kotlin syntactical structures, and Kotlin command-line compilers. Identify Kotlin's build tools and their uses. Discover Koans and their purpose in Kotlin. You'll conclude by comparing various Kotlin integrated development environments (IDEs).

IDEs
When developing with Kotlin, there are several integrated development environments (IDEs) to choose from. Discover how to install a Kotlin development environment and create a basic Kotlin project. You have lots of integrated development environments (IDEs) to choose from, when you want to develop a Kotlin application. In this course, you will walk through the steps to install the IntelliJ IDE, Android Studio, the Kotlin plug-in for Eclipse, and the Java software developer kit (SDK). Create a new Kotlin project and select a JDK with the IntelliJ IDE. Explore a Kotlin project structure and how to add a program file to a Kotlin project. Conclude by creating and running Kotlin code through the IntelliJ IDE.

Syntax
While similar to Java, Kotlin's syntax is not compatible with the ubiquitous language. Explore the basic syntax of Kotlin, including packages, types, variables, strings, and conditionals. During this course, you will see how to create comments in Kotlin applications, implement Kotlin packages, practice null safety, perform string operations, and program conditional structures. Then, as a review exercise, you will create a basic Kotlin application with comments, variables, and strings.

Loops & Functions
Kotlin uses many of the programming constructs that you would expect to find in other high-level programming languages. During this course, you will begin by exploring type checking, loops, when statements, and standard function structures. Next, you will learn how to define ranges with the IN operator in Kotlin. Then, work with collections, Kotlin functions, lambdas, inline functions, and exception handlers. Finally, as a review exercise, you will create a Kotlin application that includes loops and functions, and then run the application.

Objects & Classes
Kotlin is an object-oriented programming language, so working with objects is an important part of mastering it. During this course, you will explore classes, visibility, extensions, and objects in Kotlin. See how to describe objects and their implementation in Kotlin programming. Create a basic class and a class instance in Kotlin. Capture user input, store data in a file, and read data from a file. Configure Android Studio to work on your Kotlin projects, and configure IntelliJ IDEA for Android development. Finally, conclude by creating an Android project, add items to a project interface, and run apps in an emulator.
