Kotlin :A New Beginning

Hello guys,
You might have heard about a new language supported for the android Officially by Google,Named as Kotlin.


Kotlin is a statically typed Programming language.By statically typed language i mean that the type checking is done during complile time.

It was developed in July 2011 by Jetbrains in Russia,In 2017 Google declared Kotlin as the official langauge for android.
However the Traditional Java developers are sticking to java.
New programmers who want to make android apps,Web apps can use Kotlin as a language of preference.
With this Post i welcome you to the world of Kotlin.

 There is no good book for kotlin but there is the official documentation on Kotlin.I refer the official Kotlin documentation.

 The main aim of this post if to Introduce you Kotlin and its Uses and also how to write programs in Kotlin.

 The official documentation can be found on the website  KOTLIN
I belive that this post will help you to write codes in Kotlin.
So lets begin

 Firstly i will tell you How to install Kotlin 

 There are many options
1.Use IntelliJ Idea IDE
2.Use Android Studio 3.0
3.Use Eclipse Ide
4.Online Compiler.

If you are a beginner i suggest you to use IntelliJ

 This post will only help you learn KOTLIN as a language,Not the development of android apps using kotlin.
The development of android apps using KOTLIN will be posted in further posts.
After you get IntelliJ IDEA make sure u have the JDK installed and the Environment variables set.

Now we begin by typing the standard Hello world! program.


fun main(args: Array<String>)
{
println("hello world");
}



If you are familiar with Java,Atleast the basics of it You are done with almost 60 percent of kotlin.
Kotlin is very similar to java but it is more simple.





To define a function you have to write fun fun-name(arguments)

 To print text we use println

 Note that semicolons are optional.
Since most of the programming languages like C,C++,Java,Javascript have a semi-colon.
It is a good habit of including a semi-colon to the statements in a program.


Thank you guys

Hello everybody,I would like to begin this topic by giving you some idea about "what is web development?" First of all,Let me tell you in simple words that "Web" and "Internet" are not the same.   Internet is the collection of computer's connected together in a network. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any computer can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the  Internet . The World Wide Web (abbreviated  WWW  or the Web)  is  an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. Its very easy to learn website development and its very simple. Lets talk about the technologies used to develop a website and also lets get started with a few. There are a lot of languages to develop websites.In order to master all these languages what yo...
