About This League

Kotlin is a modern, statically typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. This league provides a foundational understanding of Kotlin, equipping students with essential programming concepts and syntax. It is designed to prepare you for building robust Android applications.

What you will learn

Upon completing this league, you will be able to:

  • Build fundamental Android applications by writing clean and efficient Kotlin code.
  • Implement decision-making logic and iterative processes using control flow structures and loops.
  • Organize and manipulate data effectively with Kotlin's versatile collection types and arrays.
  • Develop reusable code segments through the creation and management of functions.
  • Design object-oriented structures using classes, properties, constructors, and methods.
  • Apply object-oriented principles like inheritance and interfaces to structure your code.

What this league covers

ModuleWhat it covers
Welcome to Kotlin: Your First StepsUnderstand Kotlin's introduction, set up your environment, write your first Kotlin program, and grasp variables, data types, and basic input output.
Control Flow: Making DecisionsLearn about conditional statements like if expressions and else clauses, explore nested ifs, and master the powerful when expression and introduction to loops.
Collections: Working with Groups of DataDiscover lists, sets, and maps for storing and accessing groups of data, along with methods for iterating through collections.
Functions: Reusable Blocks of CodeMaster defining functions with parameters and return values, utilizing default parameter values and named arguments for code efficiency.
Object-Oriented Programming in Kotlin: The BasicsExplore classes, objects, properties, constructors, and methods, building a solid foundation in object-oriented programming concepts.
Working with StringsLearn string concatenation, templates, properties, common functions, comparison techniques, and handling multiline strings.
More About LoopsUnderstand while and do-while loops, looping through ranges, using break and continue, nested loops, and loop best practices.
Arrays in KotlinExplore creating, accessing, modifying, and iterating through arrays, comparing them with lists and understanding common array functions.
More About FunctionsDelve into function overloading, local functions, single-expression functions, variable scope, and code organization with functions.
Object-Oriented Programming: Next StepsMaster visibility modifiers, custom getters/setters, inheritance, overriding functions, interfaces, and object declarations.

This league equips you with the fundamentals for the Mobile Application Development league.

Prerequisites

  • Understand variables, loops, conditionals and functions in some language.
  • Comfortable with classes, objects and inheritance.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the fundamental syntax and structure of Kotlin, including variables, data types, and basic operators.
  • Create simple Kotlin programs that demonstrate control flow structures such as if-else statements and loops.
  • Implement basic functions in Kotlin to perform specific tasks and manage code modularity.
  • Declare and use common collection types in Kotlin, like Lists and Maps, to store and retrieve data.
  • Write and run basic Kotlin code snippets using an integrated development environment (IDE) to solidify understanding of core concepts.
  • Explain the differences between mutable and immutable variables in Kotlin and when to use each.
