My name is Thorsten Schleinzer, I am a graduate in Media Information Technology and have been a professional software developer and architect for over 20 years. For a long time, I have been working intensively with different programming languages. I started with BASIC, got to C/C++ via Pascal/Delphi & Assembler and finally arrived at Java. Although I’ve been developing with Java since its version 1.2, I’ve been working with or am still using several other languages: C#, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby, Dart, Lua, Scala, and a few more. But it was only with Kotlin that a new language was able to fully delight me and convince me of a change. As KotlinCoach I offer comprehensive information, support and training for Kotlin: https://kotlin.coach.

About this course
WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE
Kotlin is an elegant general-purpose language with a rich syntax that enables us to write concise and expressive code. Much of its appeal also stems from the fact that it is fully interoperable with Java and has multi-platform support. Kotlin is also an official Android language ranked by Google as the most preferred language for Android app development. In this course, you’ll learn about type inference in Kotlin as well as about Kotlin’s support for higher-order functions. You’ll cover classes, objects, and other interesting themes relevant to these topics. You’ll finish with operator overloading, extension functions, and scoping functions. This course is specially designed for Java professionals who want to get into Kotlin development with minimal time and effort. This is not an encyclopedic work on Kotlin. Rather, it focuses on the necessary foundations and the best features that Kotlin has to offer. After completing this course, you’ll feel more comfortable reading and writing Kotlin code.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
