I am looking for a good Kotlin course something like [this](https://mindorks.com/android-app-development-online-course-for-beginners) but this doesn’t seem to be active - I sent some pre-sales question and no reply. Also [coursera](https://www.coursera.org/learn/kotlin-for-java-developers), but this requires Java as a per-requisite. [ZappyCode](https://zappycode.com/courses/the-7-day-android-app-bootcamp-android-pie-and-kotlin) is good for starting out but doesn’t have some more / advanced concepts.

Have you checked out [hyperskill.org](http://hyperskill.org)? It’s the Jetbrains Academy. There is a free Kotlin basics course, and a Kotlin Dev course which requires a fee subscription.

Hello,

I personally learned how to write Kotlin from this **good book** - even though it’s not a course, I think it may still be of value:

> **[Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides): Skeen,...](https://www.amazon.com/Kotlin-Programming-Nerd-Ranch-Guide/dp/0135161630)**
>
> Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides) \[Skeen, Josh, Greenhalgh, David\] on Amazon.com. \*FREE\* shipping on qualifying offers. Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides)

Unfortunately, since Kotlin is a lesser-known language, there aren’t a wide range of online courses available that are free.

The only way to get **good quality** Kotlin courses (in my opinion) is to spend some money, or try to get free books from your **local library.**

I was fortunate enough to have a library which could provide me with free ebooks, and that’s how I got started on my learning journey.

Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. A crash-course on Kotlin will do as I understand OOPs concept - I was looking for more of Android app development with Kotlin.

@anjanesh That site isn’t all that fun to navigate, but there is a section on [Android app development with Kotlin](https://developer.android.com/courses/android-basics-kotlin/course)

Love this course, I’m on Unit 3. It’s actually what let me to the Jetbrains course, as I felt I needed to get a better grasp on Kotlin first.
