Why Learn Kotlin

  • Expressive and concise:You can do more with less. Express your ideas and reduce the amount of boilerplate code. 67% of professional developers who use Kotlin say Kotlin has increased their productivity.

  • Safer code: Kotlin has many language features to help you avoid common programming mistakes such as null pointer exceptions. Android apps that contain Kotlin code are 20% less likely to crash.

  • Interoperable:Call Java-based code from Kotlin, or call Kotlin from Java-based code. Kotlin is 100% interoperable with the Java programming language, so you can have as little or as much of Kotlin in your project as you want.

  • Structured Concurrency:Kotlin coroutines make asynchronous code as easy to work with as blocking code. Coroutines dramatically simplify background task management for everything from network calls to accessing local data.

The roles and responsibilities of Kotlin developers are similar to the roles and responsibilities of Android developers, except for having good knowledge of Kotlin.

Note: Kotlin Android Developers must have a solid knowledge of Java as Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java and as a developer, you would require knowledge of Java at some level to develop android applications.

  • Designing and developing modern, secure, and feature-rich android applications using Kotlin from scratch
  • Understand requirements and translate designs and wireframes into code
  • Identify and fix bugs to improve performance
  • Coordinating with the design and test teams to create apps with high performance
  • Work with APIs and data sources as per the requirements
  • Help maintain code quality, reusability, and continuous code evaluation
