The Advanced Kotlin training course will introduce students to advanced Kotlin concepts and the broader Kotlin ecosystem in general.
The course begins with an overview of contracts in Kotlin, an extension of the smart-casting compiler feature. The course then does a deep dive into coroutines and structured concurrency and how to test code with coroutines. Next, the course provides a brief overview of the functional programming library Arrow, before covering Kotlin Multi-Platform. During this section, students will learn how it works and the ideal kind of code to share, as well as how to write and consume multi-platform code. The course then reviews Kotlin libraries purposefully built for multi-platform use that students can use in their applications. Finally, the course will finish with Ktor, a multi-platform library for building asynchronous servers and clients.
Students will learn through a series of interactive labs and lectures. This course is intended for those with prior knowledge of Kotlin and familiarity with writing software with code and basic git functionality. Must have the latest version of IntelliJ installed.
