I started the official Android course with Kotlin and was very pleased with the first unit which went over the basics of Kotlin. It was very beginner friendly, written well, and a lot of reminders and general hand holding. I also have some prior coding experience.

The second unit on Android was the complete opposite experience. It was written by a non-native English speaker and the instructions were dry and not very clear.

I now understand why some people warned that learning Kotlin means fewer resources to learn from compared to Java where there are many to choose from. So it's made me consider: should I switch to a Java Android course with the hope that the Android portion of the course will be better developed? Or should I just stick with the Kotlin course because it will be difficult either way?

Also, has anyone else new to coding/android development had success learning with the official Kotlin Android course?

Is it even possible? It seems every third-party tool that did it is abandoning the feature and I can't get the deprecated but still present feature to work in Detekt or ktlint. I didn't realise the biggest challenge with Kotlin would be detecting unused import statements so I can easily remove them.

I just released v0.4.0 of Ktor Panel.

Ktor Panel is a lightweight, customisable admin interface generation library for Ktor servers. Ktor Panel provides a simple way to manage database entities through an intuitive and secure interface using minimal configuration.

Official docs: https://ktor-panel.readthedocs.io/

Please leave a GitHub star if you find it useful!

Ktor-Panel: Admin Interface Generation (ktor-panel.readthedocs.io)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by illucidmind@programming.dev to c/kotlin@programming.dev
 
 

Ktor-panel is a lightweight admin interface generation library for Ktor servers, and is currently in its last stages of development before official release to the public for consumption. Its selling points are the customisability and security. At the moment, the library supports ORMs and ODMs such as Exposed, Hibernate and the official Kotlin MongoDB driver.

I'd appreciate any feedback, GitHub stars or collaborations as there's still a lot to build :)
