Overview/Description
While similar to Java, Kotlin's syntax is not compatible with the ubiquitous language. Explore the basic syntax of Kotlin, including packages, types, variables, strings, and conditionals. During this course, you will see how to create comments in Kotlin applications, implement Kotlin packages, practice null safety, perform string operations, and program conditional structures. Then, as a review exercise, you will create a basic Kotlin application with comments, variables, and strings.
