In this mini course, you’ll take the first steps into the world of Android app development.

Since the course is created in 2025, you’ll build a real app using a modern Android tech stack that’s used in the industry today:

• Kotlin – a modern, expressive, and concise programming language

• Jetpack Compose – Android’s modern UI toolkit

• Kotlin Coroutines – a powerful tool for handling asynchronous operations

• Ktor – a lightweight HTTP client library

• MVVM architecture – an architectural pattern that helps organize your code

What You’ll Build

In this course, you’ll build a simple, one-screen app that mimics the core behavior of an e-commerce app.

It fetches real product data from a server and displays it in a clean, scrollable list — just like what you see in shopping apps. While the app is simple, it introduces powerful concepts like network requests, UI rendering, and clean architecture.
