Kotlin for Java Developers
Use your Java skills to learn Kotlin fast. Enhance career prospects and master Kotlin, including Java interoperability
Are you a Java developer wondering if you need to learn Kotlin?
Maybe you are an experienced Java developer who wants to learn Kotlin quickly, to be prepared for future project work.
Perhaps instead, you’re an Android app developer who knows Java well, but you want to be able to move forward with Kotlin for new Android development work.
Well, with Google’s recent focus on Kotlin for Android app development, this language has been launched into the mainstream, and you can be sure you will be seeing a lot more about it. It’s also highly likely that you will be working with Kotlin in your Java projects in the near future.
Because Kotlin works anywhere Java works, and can even be called from Java code (and vice-versa), this brings with it a massive opportunity for Java developers. Being able to work with both Java and Kotlin is going to give you a massive advantage over other programmers.
This course was designed to teach Java developers how to use Kotlin in the shortest possible time.
Sarah Ettritch, your course instructor, is an experienced Java and Kotlin developer, with many years of software development experience. She is uniquely qualified to teach you how to use this powerful and exciting language.
While you won’t learn Android app development in this course, you will learn Kotlin, and also the key differences between Kotlin and Java.
There is an entire section dedicated to Java interoperability, which is vital for all Java developers to learn.
In addition, the Kotlin syntax is explored in detail.
Over sixteen hours of videos are included in the course, making it one of the most comprehensive courses on the language.
Now is the perfect time for you to learn Kotlin, while it’s relatively new. It has been around for a while, but only now is it being thrust into the limelight.
It’s absolutely vital for Java developers to learn Kotlin to maximize future career opportunities. Objective-C developers who failed to transition to Swift, or were too slow doing so, were left behind. Don’t make the same mistake they did!
If you are ready to greatly increase your career prospects by adding Kotlin experience to your skills and knowledge, then sign up for the course today.

Great course. Totally was worth my investment of money and time. I do know a bit of java and this was a great course for me. Teacher is excellent and brings it down to earth so that it is clear to understand. I personally do like when teachers provide some very simple examples to learn a complex programming tools because it demystifies a lot of "magic" you would believe exists otherwise. I cannot say that i am now 100% ready to code in Kotlin but, i can reference this course few more times to get what i need when i need it. I would say this was great learning journey. Thank you!

I hope we can get more courses by this author because she teaches very quickly and clearly. An Android continuation of this course would be good. Warning: This course assumes a professional level of knowledge of Java. Like many other people I learned some Java a long time ago as my first OO language but I have forgotten a lot of the syntax rules. The author of this course assumes you know all the syntax of Java so a lot of explanations of syntax is incomplete. Its still a good course for learning Kotlin but you will have to go to other learning resources afterwards to complete your learning of Kotlin.

As someone with some familiarity with Java and C#, I felt that there was enough context to new concepts (immutability and companion objects) to understand what they are for, when to use them and why they are beneficial. I picked this course as I joined a team using Kotlin in the last two weeks, and this course has enabled me to get up and going and understand some of the things that initially seemed weird about Kotlin. It has been good to understand the implications of looking at how Java can call Kotlin and vise versa as I expect to be running into more of those challenges in the future.
