The course focuses on the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture in Android development using Kotlin. The MVVM is widely recommended due to its robustness, scalability, and ease of maintenance. It is a valuable skill to have for building high-performance Android applications.

Firstly, you will learn the basics of MVVM architecture and its advantages over other approaches to Android development. Then, you'll start from scratch and create layouts for a news application. Next, you'll use the Retrofit and OkHttp networking libraries and get to familiarize yourself with APIs. You'll get hands-on experience in storing data locally via the Room library. Finally, you'll be introduced to both the repository and ViewModel patterns, as well as how to work with the Paging library and deliver data to our fragments.

By the time you’re done with the course, you’ll be able to use MVVM in your Android projects, interact with APIs, store data locally, and implement pagination.

Mastering MVVM Architecture in Android Development using Kotlin

This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of architecture, particularly MVVM architecture, and how to apply those fundamentals to an existing application or a new project.

## Prerequisites
Because this course is entirely based on Kotlin and doesn’t provide an introduction to the language itself, you may want to learn its fundamentals before you begin.
Similarly, those with little programming experience may need help to grasp the concepts covered in this course. However, those with a basic grasp of Android development with Kotlin will find the course relevant and enjoyable.

This course is for you if:

- You’re familiar with Kotlin and Android development using the Android SDK.
- You want to learn how to develop Android applications using the MVVM architecture with the help of practical examples.
- You require assistance learning how to develop Android applications because you find the architecture challenging to start on your own.
Being open-minded and eager to learn new technologies will be incredibly effective. If something piques your interest or curiosity, feel free to experiment and play with it while going through the course.
