Greetings,

Another day within the journey of development. Well, what did I do today? Went forth and did a cleans of the body with some prune juice. I also did my usual workout with a focus of strength and weight gain. It felt good producing much work within that area today for about two hours. While finishing up the maths of life, I went on to learning Kotlin. Kotlin truly is a great language to learn especially if you already have programming knowledge. Many say it's similar to Java however it gives me Python feels without imports. Ones who know about the mighty Py can understand what I'm saying. Kotlin has been growing over the years and many new developers are learning it as their first language. I wanted to learn how to become an android developer and was told this is the correct language to learn. That's when I became quite interested and went to W3Schools to learn more about Kotlin basics. You can visit their Kotlin basics tutorials here: https://www.w3schools.com/kotlin/index.php.

While learning the basics of Kotlin I first had to download the IDE. Yes I could've used VSCode, but I wanted to use a different one this go around. The IDE is free for the community version in which I am using. Being that Kotlin is already open sourced why not right?! Also I don't have the funds at this time for the Ultimate to try it out. You can download the IDE for windows here: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=windows.

Once I downloaded the IDE, I started to work with the sytnax learned from the basics tutorials. The goal is to get to the insights of the syntax instead of going the limitless tutorial route. This will allow me to learn how to build a great messenger app for my Visionary Genius Academy program knowing the ins and outs. Terminology from the Kotlin basics course was reviewed much today like stated prior. Being that I signed up for the Android Developers program I have access to their incredible content surrounding Kotlin. They offer badges as you go through the through the lessons which is great for learning in my opinion. The badges as you see show the dates of when I was trying to learn prior then came back to complete more which are now my faves. Want to create a Google Developer profile? Be sure to visit this link here: https://developers.google.com/. Quizes are also provided after you do the lessons here so be sure to understand what you are learning folks.

The community of Kotlin has grown as well over the years. I see many developers are out there making great projects. Much activity on twitter surrounding the language helps me a great deal so I can easily contact someone for help if in need. Thus far I've just been reading the language and taking notes. Yes... that' right, I have also provided notes on the topics discussed within the google developers lessons. The link is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qnSVhQfiYJVGM8eFbLP3ACeSNduu3gaEIbpi0ykPfEI/edit?usp=sharing.

Welp you all it's been real. Remember to take your time and don't rush if you don't understand. Ask for help if needed... (I know it's hard especially when you are like me). Be sure to ask me any questions for I am on Instagram as well. Follow my link here: Instagram.com/DesignIsOrion.

Peace and Light.
