Kotlin comes from industry, not academia. It solves problems faced by working programmers today. As an example, the type system helps you avoid null pointer exceptions. Research languages tend to just not have null at all, but this is of no use to people working with large codebases and APIs which do.
Overview
Introduction
This tutorial will cover the steps necessary to code a an Instagram like app in Kotlin and Android Studio Canary. You will be guided through all the steps and concepts, starting from setting up the build environment to building a basic app. When you finish the tutorial, you should be able to continue developing a final product.
** I will not be developing an api server for this application

- Basic knowledge of Android Development, especially the Android Lifecycle
- Basic Java or Kotlin knowledge (or both)
- An API server (if you wish to deploy in the future)
