ABOUT THIS COURSE

Design patterns enable developers to speed up the development process by providing proven development paradigms. Reusing design patterns helps prevent complex issues that can cause major problems. Moreover, it improves your codebase, promotes code reuse, and makes an architecture more robust. In this course, you will start with a gentle introduction of the Kotlin language. You will explore design patterns that are part of the best practices that help developers use Kotlin efficiently. Design patterns appeared in the era of object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java. You will learn the language features that Kotlin provides, which allow developers to program in a functional style and implement the design patterns. After taking this course, you’ll be able to take your knowledge of Kotlin, design patterns, and associated best practices to the software industry and apply it to build reliable, scalable, and maintainable projects.

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.
