Getting started with something new can be really challenging. I began learning Android development to meet the requirements of my industrial internship and managed to complete the project. Now, I am revisiting the basics to gain a clearer understanding and document my learning journey through these blogs.

The main task was to find resources and the correct path. Though there is a lot of official documentation available, some YouTube videos are a must in my case.

On a search for a proper roadmap, I found this a few days ago. But as usual, I lost the source from where I got this and have no track of it. Anyway, let's start with whatever I have for now. For my entire upcoming journey of learning the basics, I will follow this roadmap.

step 1: APPLICATION FUNDAMENTALS

Languages: Kotlin-> source

KOTLIN:

[got the need to do list but not sure about it]

Fundamental Programming Concepts

1. Basic Programming Concepts:

   • Variables and Data Types

   • Control Structures (loops, conditionals)

   • Functions and Scope

2. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):

   • Classes and Objects

   • Inheritance

   • Polymorphism

   • Encapsulation

Kotlin-Specific Concepts

1. Basic Syntax and Features:

   • Variables (val vs. var)

   • Basic Types (String, Int, Float, etc.)

   • Operators

   • Null Safety

   • Control Flow (if, when, for, while)

2. Functions and Lambdas:

   • Defining and Calling Functions

   • Default and Named Arguments

   • Higher-Order Functions

   • Lambdas and Inline Functions

3. Object-Oriented Programming in Kotlin:

   • Classes and Inheritance

   • Abstract Classes and Interfaces

   • Data Classes

   • Object Declarations and Companion Objects

4. Collections and Generics:

   • Lists, Sets, and Maps

   • Iterating Over Collections

   • Filtering and Mapping

   • Generic Functions and Classes

In conclusion, starting with Android development can be tough, but with the right resources and a clear plan, it becomes easier and more fun. By going back to the basics and writing about my progress, I hope to understand better and help others on the same journey. Keep an eye out for more updates as I learn more about Android development, explore new ideas, and share what I find. Happy coding!
