This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Advanced Kotlin Database Development. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
Kotlin is the preferred language for Android development, but its popularity in web development is on the rise, since it’s a modern programming language that is interoperable with Java and easier to learn than Scala. To develop a Kotlin backend application of any complexity, you need to interact with databases extensively. In this course, Alexey Soshinl teaches you how to get started. He shows you how to set up the connection using the Exposed library, define and populate tables, and write and debug custom queries. He also provides a challenge after each chapter so you can test your knowledge as you work through the course.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
