Do it! Kangsam's Android App Programming with Kotlin
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The #1 Android Book! Revised 4th Edition Now Available!
Let's learn the development know-how of 'Kkangsam', accumulated over 20 years in the field and in lectures!
The #1 Android book, "Do it! Kangsam's Android App Programming with Kotlin," has been published in its 4th revised edition.
This time, we've revised the book to reflect the changes in the Android development process based on Android 15 (Vanilla Ice Cream), updated the practice source code, and added content that reflects 'current' development trends, such as Jetpack Compose, to further enhance the completeness of the book.
This book covers the entire process of developing an Android app using the Kotlin language.
If Kotlin syntax feels overwhelming, don't worry, the "Second Yard" section of this book provides a comprehensive explanation of its core concepts! Furthermore, you'll learn how to design your app's home screen, handle events, create notifications, use databases, leverage location information, network, and integrate with Firebase, all from scratch, allowing you to naturally master the structure and development methods of Android apps.
This book contains the teaching know-how of 'Kkangsam', a renowned lecturer in the IT industry, and is organized by separating theory and practice, making it suitable as a lecture material.
Additionally, we cover features that we have used at least once as practical topics, so readers can learn without losing interest.

ㆍ Android Studio: Ladybug
Features of this book
ㆍ Updated content and source based on Android 15 (Vanilla Ice Cream)
ㆍ Free video lectures by the author explaining the entire practical training process are available on YouTube.
ㆍ Reflects development trends by including programming techniques using the Jetpack AndroidX library and the UI tool Compose.
ㆍ The author has recreated various types of Q&A exchanges with actual students into the "Kkangsam! I have a question!" corner.
ㆍ We provide a "30-day complete study plan" that can be used as a lecture plan for instructors and a study plan for self-students.
ㆍ Five beta testers, including Android app developers working in the field, verified the entire training process and source code.
Target audience for this book
ㆍ Students or job seekers who dream of becoming mobile app developers
ㆍ Junior developers who want to systematically learn the Android app development process
ㆍ Senior developers who want to develop mobile apps in Kotlin or learn the latest implementation techniques such as the new Jetpack library and Compose.
Job postings for mobile developers are changing!
The trend is developing Android apps with Kotlin!
When developing Android apps, using the Kotlin language allows you to reduce the length of your source code and write more secure code.
Android apps developed with Kotlin have a 20% lower error rate.
Additionally, Kotlin is 100% compatible with Java, so it can be used alongside Java code.
For this reason, more than 60% of Android developers use Kotlin, and more than 80% of the top 1,000 apps in the app market contain Kotlin code.
There is a growing trend among developers and even companies to start app development with Kotlin.
If you're interested in mobile app development and have some basic programming experience in Java or C, this book is a great self-study book!
Understand the architecture of mobile app development,
Let's get practical experience by creating the functions used in frequently used apps!
The goal of this book is to develop practical skills in mobile app development.
Rather than simply listing grammar and code snippets, it's structured to help you understand the architecture of mobile app development and improve your application skills.
We'll explain in detail the four core components of Android apps and their life cycles with illustrations, and you can gain practical experience by practicing various functions of frequently used apps.
It also helps you prevent errors and write high-quality code by suggesting common problems and solutions during app development.
Let's learn the most frequently used functions naturally by creating a total of 19 apps, starting with light exercises that can lay the foundation for app development, such as to-do lists, maps, MP3 players, and news providers.
This book contains all the know-how of 'Kkangsam', who has trained thousands of Android developers!
A rich composition that can be used for self-study, as well as for vocational training and university textbooks!
Kang Sung-yoon, better known as "Kang-sam" in the Android field, has taught mobile app development at various educational institutions and companies.
This book contains all of the development and teaching know-how accumulated over 20 years, based on a curriculum that has been verified by numerous developers and instructors.
We provide practice source code to reduce code writing time and focus only on the core content, so readers can practice by writing only the core code based on this.
Of course, we also provide a completed source code separately for comparison in case the source code does not work properly.
At the end of each chapter, you can also test your skills by taking a simple quiz that will review what you've learned.
