Hello, people!

This is Safa.

I teach Android Development. Especially to beginners.

I am in constant search of good educational content and produce some myself.

This channel will be used to post quality educational content.

If you are just beginning or consider yourself a Junior Android Developer, you'll find the content here really beneficial.

What can you find in this channel:

✅ Educational videos related to Android Development or Kotlin.
✅ Quizzes or Trivias
✅ Code challenges
✅ Articles on software engineering
✅ Discount codes for courses
✅ and much more...

What you won't get:

❌ Spam messages
❌ Irrelevant content
❌ Tasteless promotions

If you like what you'll get, then welcome on board!

Let's learn Android!

Want to learn Kotlin?

1. If you don't know how to code yet:

Go with Codecademy's Learn Kotlin course.

It's one of the best beginner-friendly Kotlin course over there: codecademy.com/learn/learn-kotlin. It teaches fundamentals of programming alongside basic Kotlin syntax.

I also have a video series on YouTube where I walk through Codecademy's Learn Kotlin course and comment on it, check it out as well: ytub.link/learn-kotlin

2. If you have some experience in programming (possibly in other languages like Python, JS, Ruby, C++, etc):

Try this video-course from Udacity: https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud9011

This course has really good lessons on Kotlin language, but not very beginner-friendly. However if you are a programmer you may want to take a look.

3. If you are transitioning from Java to Kotlin an already have a lot experience in OOP:

Get a quick interactive tutorial about Kotlin language from Kotlin Koans: https://play.kotlinlang.org/koans/overview

You will need to read Kotlin language documentation and pass a challenge to get a crash course to the language!

I also started learning Kotlin with Kotlin Koans 2 years ago 🙂

For yesterdays Kotlin challenge, there was no submissions 😞

There are bunch of solutions, but I want to share a tricky one: Using java.util.Collections.rotate function.

`fun cycle(list: List<Int>, times: Int): List<Int> {
java.util.Collections.rotate(list, times)
return list
}`

See the full solution with rotate here: https://pl.kotl.in/4oi58bpT0

I am being asked about Flutter vs. Native Android Development and which one to learn.

There can be different answers to this question from various perspectives.

But as an Android Developer and a professional making money out of it, the first thing I look when deciding is *the market*.

How big is the Flutter market and how big is the native development?

You don't need to make rigorous research, upwork.com is more than enough to come to a conclusion.

This is the available freelance jobs for Flutter on upwork.com:

And this 👆is the available freelance jobs for Android Development

434 vs 2817

Native Development market on freelance jobs are significanly bigger.

So I recommend learning native Android development, preferably with Kotlin.
