Gain insights into Kotlin’s basics, including variable declarations, data types, conditions, loops, and functions. Discover how to write simple Kotlin scripts and transition to advanced programming.

Kotlin is quickly joining the ranks of the most popular programming languages. Now that Google supports Kotlin for Android app development as the primary choice over Java, we’ll only see more developers making the switch. So if you’re looking to get started with Android app development, then you’ve come to the right place.

This course will be your guide on getting started with Kotlin. We’ll go over all the language basics including variable declarations, data types and the type system to conditions, loops, and functions.

After this course, you’ll be able to write simple Kotlin scripts and applications. With this solid understanding of the language basics, you’ll be able to more easily follow more advanced material covering functional and object-oriented programming.

What a brilliant course, its not too long so its fairly easy to get through in a weekend. Goes through the fundimentals of Kotlin in just the right amount of detail. I would recommend this as a first step into Kotlin language

"Brilliant course"

Excellent course. It's a beginner course in programming, but even as a Java programmer I've been able to remember a lot of things and get productive quickly in Kotlin. The course is well structured and the teacher knows the subject (I bought another course from the teacher).

"Excellent course"

Kotlin Crash Course for Programmers

For conditional control flow, Kotlin uses the `if` and `when` keywords. The syntax of `if`-blocks is the same as in C and Java. Similarly, the `when` keyword is similar to `switch` in these languages but more powerful, as you will learn.

## Conditions using `if`
Conditions with `if` can be written as follows:
