Kotlin for Java Developers

About this course

This intensive, hands-on course bridges the gap between Java and Kotlin, empowering experienced developers to write cleaner, more expressive code. Through a series of practical exercises directly in the IDE, you will move beyond basic syntax to adopt idiomatic Kotlin, leveraging its seamless interoperability to enhance existing Java projects or build robust new backend and Android applications.

What you will learn

• Refactor Java to Idiomatic Kotlin: Convert verbose Java patterns into concise Kotlin syntax while maintaining 100% JVM interoperability.
• Eliminate NullPointerExceptions: Implement Kotlin’s type system to resolve nullability at compile-time rather than runtime.
• Architect Functional Data Pipelines: Use lambdas, receivers, and Sequences to build high-efficiency, expressive logic.
• Streamline Data Structures: Use data classes, properties, and generics to eliminate boilerplate and simplify Object-Oriented design.
