Course Description
As a prime option for building android applications because of its interoperability with java code, maintainability, reliability, and ability to boost team efficiency, Kotlin is being widely adopted but comes with its own set of challenges as does any technology. This course is designed to ensure learners avoid common mistakes and pitfalls as they leverage vital features and build secure mobile applications using this general-purpose programming language.

Learning Objectives

On successful completion of this course, learners should have the knowledge and skills to meet secure Kotlin compliance requirements, including:

  • Using intents to defer permissions
  • Storing all private user data within the device's internal storage (which is sandboxed per app)
  • Ensuring the device deletes all files when the user uninstalls an app
