    About the Course

    The Kotlin programming language is a modern language that gives you more power for your everyday tasks. Kotlin is concise, safe, pragmatic,
    and focused on interoperability with Java code. It can be used almost everywhere Java is used today: for server-side development, Android
    apps, and much more. Kotlin is 100% compatible with all existing Java frameworks, and has good tooling support. It’s a pragmatic language
    with a very low learning curve, and can be quickly grasped by Java developers. Kotlin code might be compiled not only to JVM bytecode but to
    JavaScript and Native code as well, but this course is focused on Kotlin/JVM. This course aims to share with you the power an...

    This course is a very comprehensive and detailed introduction to Kotlin. However, it would be even better if it could include the generics part which is the most difficult but quite frequently used.

    Thanks JetBrains team, the course is as great as all the things that you do!

    Now I am going to visit Kotlin island (Kronstadt) to see lighthouse on your logo (I leave nearby in Saint-Petersburg).

    The course was very well organized. The instructor clearly explained not only the language features but also how they work under the hood. Thanks a lot, Coursera for giving me this opportunity.

    This course is a great way for learning Kotlin. Although I've been using the language for almost 2 years now, still there were some new things that I've learned/re-learned from this course.

    Great course. I thought it was going to be a basic course and it ended being harder, in a good way! Thanks Svetlana and Andrey for putting together this course, and of course JetBrains

    Great assignments and quizzes to go along with videos. More in-depth than any other Kotlin course I have taken with showing best practices and reasons to prefer certain patterns.

    Great introduction to the basics of Kotlin for experienced Java programmers. Highlighted a number of features that make Kotlin a compelling alternative to straight-up Java.

    Would recomend if you're someone familiar with Java and looking to get into Kotlin.

    I'd say it takes less than the 5 allocated weeks if you practice at least twice a week.

    Nice introduction to Kotlin language with all its crucial features. I'd be happy if I wasn't so busy and had more time for homeworks :-) Otherwise one week is sufficient.

    Awesome course, content is well prepared & structured. Dialect is a little heavy sometimes and transcription could be better, but all together a really nice course!

    The only good course I could find where you can learn Kotlin if you already have strong programming bases and don't want to re-learn how classes and variables work

    Very good course. Well organized and structured. The assignments are not always trivial and some IDE problem can happen, but at the end they are useful to learn.

    The course provides a very practical way to learn Kotlin. I think its coding practises and assignments are very challenging, but I have learnt a lot from it.

    Very nice course with tasks which are challenging enough to properly test the understanding of Kotlin. I really enjoyed challenges in the end of every week.

    Good content and nice pace. Some problems took a while to solve but it was due to change on mindset between how i java program vs how you do it in kotlin.

    Sometimes you spend more time understanding a task rather than learning Kotlin features. But nevertheless, the training is very high quality and useful.

    Top-notch course, lessons were sweetly concise but informative, assignment weren't impossibile but nonetheless demanded some effort, I really loved it.
