Android Development with Kotlin Course:

Lesson Plan Last updated May 2020

By Lalit Singh Manral

Copyright Google LLC 2020

Android Development with Kotlin is an instructor-led course created by the Google Developers Training team.

Developers taking the course learn the basics of the Kotlin programming language, and core Android app

development concepts. They will build a variety of apps, starting with Hello World and working their way up to

apps that use a Room database and fetch data from the network.

Each lesson includes a slide deck with speaker notes for the lesson content, and one or more hands-on tutorial

exercises (also known as codelabs). As developers work through the exercises, they create apps to practice and

perfect the skills they're learning.

The course is offered as an in-person course at selected colleges, facilitated by college faculty. All instructors are

invited to use our materials to run their own courses, in accordance with the Apache 2 license used in the course.

The materials are also available online for self-study.

After completing this course, students may consider preparing for and taking the Kotlin version of the exam for the

Associate Android Developer certification.

Prerequisites

Android Development with Kotlin is intended for computer science and engineering undergraduates, who have

object-oriented programming experience (e.g., Java, .NET, etc.).

Total course hours

Lecture hours: 13, Codelab hours: 27

The total course takes approximately 40 hours to teach. The classroom portion consists of 13 lessons taught from

slide decks, 1 hour each, and 38 codelabs which in total take most students about 27 hours to complete. Each

codelab takes a different amount of time to complete and also depends on students' experience and work style. An

estimated time to complete is mentioned in this lesson plan.
