Hello and welcome to the course, so thank you very much for taking this Android jetpack compose course,
and I'm really happy that you are with me and I can teach you programming a specifically Android jetpack
compose because I just think it's really cool.
It's an amazing tool.
Google has done a great job at, well, bringing over what they have learned from Dart and Flutter into
Scotland app development for Android's native development.
So it's really amazing stuff and you're going to learn about it in this course.
So first, we're going to start with the Kottmann basics, which will take around five to six hours
of video content.
So depending on how much time you want to spend on it, it will be roughly, I would say, like two
weeks or so.
If you are taking it slowly, but then you will already have a codling as a programming language, as
your basic programming language is a very first one.
So if you have never programmed in other programming languages before, this will be a great starting
point.
And Gotland is an amazing programming language, in my opinion.
A lot better than Java.
And well, I still love my C-sharp, so it's close to that.
But still, it's really a good programming language.
And then we're going to go over to building jetpack compose applications.
So we're going to look at how to build a user interface with a jetpack compose only using Kotlin.
No accent at all.
If you want to learn maximal and you might need that for your project if they are existing already.
So if you are working for a company that already has existing Android projects, it's really useful
to know XML and understand how to build a user interface using the old school approach, so to speak,
then you should definitely check out my Android masterclass.
But otherwise, you're at the great spot here because you're going to learn everything that you need
to know that I believe will be the standard moving forward.
So I don't think anyone who's going to start an Android application now as a big company and has some
good advisors who are going to tell them what technology to use are going to use Android Jetpack Compose?
All right.
So that's what we're going to do.
Basics, then jetpack compose.
And then we start with some basic examples showing you how to build a profile screen, so to speak.
And then we go over to building a Gmail UI.
So the user interface that you have in the Gmail application, which is pretty advanced, there are
a lot of things going on.
It's just going to be the user interface or we're going to build a dummy, which is something that you
also need to know how to do, because sometimes people come to you with their ideas and they have the
UI, how they want it to look like.
And then you just built a dummy to show them what the application would then actually look like and
feel like when in action, even though it doesn't do any specific thing.
So it's not going to actually load real data, but it's a great starting point.
The real data point, however, will be the news app that we're going to build afterwards.
So there we're going to build this entire application where you load the latest news from this API called
news API.
So you're going to see how to load data from the internet to then display it in a beautiful looking
news application and then also even learn how to filter the news based on the category, for example,
or based on the source.
So if you only want to see news, for example, from TechCrunch or from ABC News or whatever, you will
be able to filter is based on that.
OK.
So I wish you all the best in this cause.
I hope you enjoy it.
If you are stuck and have any questions.
Well, first of all, Google them, it's always good to find solutions very quickly.
And Googling is always going to be faster than just using the Q&A section.
Because even though we try to answer as fast as possible, we cannot answer in real time.
We will try to answer within a day or two, depending on also the day of the week and so forth.
So if you have questions?
Definitely.
Check out the Q&A.
Maybe there are other people who had the same question and they can help you out with that as well.
So with that said, I wish you a lot of fun.
And now let's get started with the first lecture.
