Introduction to Kotlin for Java Developers - Udemy

This is a course on the Kotlin programming language. This course is designed for people already familiar with Java who are looking for a more modern, expressive and powerful language for the JVM.

In this course, you will learn about:

• How to install and run Kotlin and why toolability matters
• Type inference and how it can save you a lot of time
• Smart control flow structures that let you write more succinctly
• Mutability options (val and var), what they mean and how to use them
• Nullability guarantees and how they make your code more safe
• The power of functional literals (nested functions and lambdas)
• Powerful built-in delegation functionality
• How to leverage Kotlin's collection operations to process data sets efficiently

... and a lot more!

This course is completely live-demo based. All the lectures are examples of real code being edited and executed using the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition IDE.

Update: Google has just announced official support for Kotlin on Android. Congratulations to the Kotlin team!
