CHEAT SHEET

Android development techniques move forward at a near frantic pace with so many different devices to work with and the use of a new language named Kotlin. With each change, the development environment becomes more functional and less error prone with increased reliability. Kotlin reduces the complexity of development, but the addition of platforms and app types increases it.

You may be using functional programming to develop your Android apps. If so, you might consider Kotlin as your go-to programming language.Functional programming is a paradigm, which means that it doesn’t have an implementation. The basis of functional programming is lambda calculus, which is actually a math abstraction.
As an Android app developer, you’ll want to know how to use Kotlin. Kotlin functions provide just what you need. What is a Kotlin function? So glad you asked!You hear multiple terms for a package of code found in an easily callable form. For example, a procedure is a set of operations executed without calculating any return value.
There aren’t any perfect programming languages. However, Google has decided that Kotlin is as close as it gets when it comes to developing Android apps. Having said that, Java lovers can still use their favorite language to make their Android apps.Part of the problem is that no one can agree on what constitutes perfect.
