Kotlin originated at JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ IDEA, in 2010, and has been open source since 2012. Versions of Kotlin targeting JavaScript ES5.1 and native code (using LLVM) for a number of processors are in production as well. It is focused on interoperability, safety, clarity, and tooling support. With no prior experience, you’ll be able to create real applications, such as a chatbot or your own converter that handles weight, temperature units, and distance! The projects you complete while learning can also be published on GitHub to build your developer portfolio.Kotlin is a general purpose, free, open source, statically typed “pragmatic” programming language initially designed for the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and Android, and combines object-oriented and functional programming features. It will help you find the gaps in your knowledge and show you the topics you can learn to fill them. The Knowledge map shows you how all of the topics are connected at a glance. They also offer you the opportunity to get experience with professional development tools while you learn to program. Integration with JetBrains IDEs will augment your learning process by providing smart coding assistance, such as code analysis, refactorings, and code completion.

For instance, a personalized study plan divided into several stages of increasing complexity will help you gradually expand your knowledge in Kotlin without getting overwhelmed. You will have all of the powerful features of JetBrains Academy to help you along the way. With JetBrains Academy, a hands-on learning platform for programming, you’ll try a holistic approach to learning in which you study the theory and then immediately put it into practice by creating working applications.

Kotlin Basics presents 10 real-world projects of different proficiency levels, over 120 educational topics, and more than 300 coding challenges. Many teams contributed to making the Kotlin Basics track, including our Kotlin team! We all are proud to offer high-quality educational materials that would be a great starting point for anyone interested in Kotlin.
