Or does anyone wanna buddy up and learn it with me?
I lost my job as a Java dev after a little less than 2 years and figured is play around with Kotlin for Android development.
Working on setting up unemployment and startinf the whole job hunt thing again for the umpteenth time in my life but will have a lot of free time in the interim so I wanna start working on an app idea for calculating dice weight for ttrpgs. I’ve been looking at Kotlin over the last few months and decided sure why not.
The plan is to get the fundamentals down and make 1 or 2 small projects and see where I am at. After that I’m considering chekcing out Rust as well. But that won’t probably be until next year.
Kotlin doesn’t have nearly as much of a community as Rust so this is probably a shit in the dark. But I guess but me up if you are interested. I’ve never done a buddy system with a language but with my attention issues it might help?
I’ve been interested in learning Kotlin for Android dev too. I did start but didn’t get very far. If you want to, I’d be up to try something, maybe it would also help me with my attention issues.
I am about halfway through the codelab stuff right now and hope to burn through the rest here in the next day. I’m planning on revisiting compact functions because I think they are interesting but a bit confusing and I want to demystify them before moving on.
After that I wanna go through the Udacity courses and hopefully solidify the fundamentals. The Android dev Udacity course is like 30-40 hours or something but it shouldn’t be awful.
We could figure something out if that all works for you. Not sure how to go about it since this is new and I don’t normally put myself out there like this.
Sounds about fine. I’m off on a trip in burgerland, so I’m not sure if I’ll be doing anything. But I’ll try and power through the codelab stuff once I get back home Tuesday.
