Kotlin

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.
