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.

Kotlin Design Patterns and Best Practices

Whether we come from Java, C#, Scala, or any other statically typed programming language, we’ll find Kotlin syntax quite familiar. This is not by coincidence but to make the transition to this new language as smooth as possible for those with previous experience in other languages.

Learn the basic syntax, features, and goals of the Kotlin programming language and its nature as a multi-paradigm language.
