The Art of Doing: Dive Into Android Development with Kotlin

Have you found yourself confused, lost, or frustrated when following complicated Android Studio guides, not fully understanding what was going on?

Have you always wanted to make your own mobile application but never new where to start?

Have you done some basics in another language like Python or JavaScript and don’t know where to apply your knowledge?

Are you looking to code in Kotlin, Google’s official language for Android application development?

If you’ve answered yes to any of the above then this course is for you! The Art of Doing:  Dive Into Android Development with Kotlin is a course that takes the time to lay a foundation and build upon it.  We won’t just get Android studio installed and rush through all it does for us in creating a project.  Instead, we will walk through each file created and the given starter code, so you feel like you are in control of the applications you are writing!  We’ll continue on this trend of fully explaining and gaining a mastery level understanding of concepts as we explore various views, layout styles, view and data binding, fragments and navigation, and lastly MVVM architecture. 

I’m a self learner.  I know what it is like to try to teach yourself a subject and be left following code someone else wrote but not fully understanding what you’ve done.  I’ve gone through various tutorials, constantly asking myself what does this line mean? , Why did they do that here? , How does this actually work? .   Those frustrations helped motivate me to create this course.  While I may be a self taught programmer, I am a Master Teacher with a depth of experience in education.  I know how to teach, how to relate high level concepts at a fundamental level, and what makes knowledge stick.
