Book Description

This book has you build an app from the beginning. Whereas traditional programming guides are focused on breadth and depth, this book is focused on "hands-on", guiding you through the steps to build the app.

The app that you will build will be written in Kotlin, so you will need to have a bit of familiarity with that language.

It provides a bit of details on the underlying concepts, but it relies on other resources — such as Elements of Android Jetpack — for the full explanation of those details. Instead, this book provides step-by-step instructions for building the app.

If you are the sort of person who “learns by doing”, then this book is for you! The book's tutorials show you how to develop an Android app using Kotlin and the Android Jetpack set of libraries and tools.
