Watched the entire thing as I practiced in IntelliJ. Super helpful. This was my introduction to Kotlin and I cant say enough how simple you made it. Thank you so much Philip.
For anyone who finds there is no "File -> New -> Kotlin Class/File" option, you may have to mark the top folder (in the Project pane; with the project path next to it) as being the "Sources Root". Right-click the folder and use the "Mark Directory as... -> Source Root" option. Then the "Kotlin Class/File" option should become available from the "File -> New" menu.
great tutorial, I am a java developer newly entering to the kotlin programming and this covers kind of all the things for me. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for this, this has got me up to speed enough to make a start on the little project I'm working on! Quick note for anyone new to programming confused by the lambda function syntax around an 01:20:00, "function" and "string" here are just arbitrary names for those objects, not keywords. They could just as easily be anything else.
Great job! That was super informative. The only feedback I'd give, is that when you're declaring a variable of type String or type fun, to use slightly different naming conventions to avoid any confusion. For example, if you're declaring a String, avoid calling it "string" and if you're declaring a function to avoid calling it "function" It just made the lambda and generics section a little bit harder to follow is all. Other than that, this was a 10/10. You did a great job explaining some of these concepts!
This is an excellent tutorial for beginners to understand basic concepts such as functions if else if etc; as well as for people who have learnt all the advanced concepts before in java but have never used kotlin before and are now moving to kotlin for android dev.
For those in need, new version of IJ you go New Project -> select (under nodejs) JVM it is already an IDEA, and the rest is similar to his. As for creation of new kotlin files mark src as root folder by clicking right click on it and then select `Mark Directory as` and `Sources root`. Then in src->main->kotlin create new files by right click->New -> plenty to choose from.
If you are not getting the empty folder structure as shown in the video, and the "Kotlin" selection [@8:30] shows additional options not shown in the video, from the "New Project" menu, try instead selecting "Java" -> "Kotlin/JVM".
Bro, you are amazing, I have been struggling with Android because almost all tutorials overcomplicate things, yet , you on the other hand, you make it so simple. Thank you, pal
I've had some trouble making a Kotlin project on the new IntelliJ IDEA 2022.2 version. You have to start with a general New Project, then select Kotlin for the langauge, select IntelliJ for build system, and also tick 'add sample code' to get it to work.
This was great for me ! I am coming from Java and wanted to get on board with Kotlin quick, without the unnecessary fat which you can find in most of the other courses. Thanks a a lot !
You're an amazing teacher! All of the concepts were masterfully explained, and I grasped them almost immediately. I'll mess around with Kotlin a little to get a hold of its in and outs, and then I'll watch your video lesson on app development. Thanks again!
Hey Brad, just wanted to let you know that I love your content man, please do some more videos on data structures and algorithms, I need some to ace my upcoming interviews ;)
@@TraversyMedia Thank you really much man, we appreciate it, I read many books and I am still struggling with some of them lol.. Keep up the good work👍
@Philipp Lackner so the I (OR) is referred to as the PIPE symbol So II is the Double PIPE. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Very clear explanations. You go further than most with the syntax and some edge cases and clarifications. Very helpful.
Damn,,, bro this is crystal 🔮 you have really explained everything to the extent that ,,, even those that do not have an idea what programming is ,can grasp everything... Thank you for this bro keep up💙🤜🤛🙏
Thanks a lot! Very nice and thorough introduction. You pointed out some great little nuances about the language that already make me excited to get started. :) For extra credit, the final function you write -- the generic customCount() extension... if we want to be 'clean', we should rename the variable 'string' to something like 'type'. So, "for (type in this)" etc. It pays off to have your variables named properly ;)
@@TheRealLucifer-Morningstar I found there were two differences in what I was seeing and what is in the video. I posted potential solutions to both of them in the comments (sort by newest). HIH
Awesome dude. I've been meaning to learn Java for a long time. I'm definitely going to be a new subscriber to your channel bud you did a great job on this one.
Great video, but there's something missing: if you refer "there will be an error" - you can do one more step to show this error, rather then describing the error.... "see it once is better than hear it 100 times" Thanks again for the video!!!
Great Phillip, really great to see a german developer on the rise. Your presentation is inspiring, very clear and on spot. Hope to see myself in a similar position in some time :-)
I am having a problem when I try to create a project in my ide I have to select the build system, by selecting the default one i have many other files in my project folder such as gradle and stuff and inside the source(src) folder I have 2 more folders and 2 subfolders inside those 2 folders, and upon creating a Main.kt file I don't seem to have the run option any help will be appreciated
Hi! I had the same issue. In case you haven't figured it out yet: For me it worked to create the file under src --> main --> kotlin. All three folders already existed. By creating my new kotlin file there, I was able to get the same screens Philipp gets and run the Hello World program. Hope this helps. :)
@@naomidemeer2445 I really appreciate the help u rendered, I figured it out after experimenting myself and it worked :D and can u please update ur comment saying that u need to use "intelliJ" build to have such folders it won't work in other builds since rest of the folders aren't there :p I give my heart felt thanks to you once again
Just to put it out there...I was not able to RUN the code initially...it just showed the 'EDIT CONFIGURATIONS' option. The solution was to just press RIGHT CLICK on "src" Folder ---> Mark Directory as ---> Sources Root.

My kotlin-crash-course - src has files in it, his doesn't. It has a main with kotlin and resources, then has another folder that says kotlin and resources in that one as well. What do I click? Neither are allowing me to view it..
If anyone got stuck with the Main.kt file, in IntelliJ 2020.3 (or whatever the version after the video's is), I had to put the file at src/main/kotlin/Main.kt
code at 35:47 is not working...it says number format exception....i tried to input 1 number and then skipped the second so as to get null...what has to be changed?
I am new to app development and I can see how this crash course can help me. This new version of Intellij IDEA will ask me to choose Target JVM version and Test framework when adding a new project. If you can help me out, that would be really amazing.
I know this a general purpose video on Kotlin and not necessarily an Android app video (which is coming next) but I'd imagine the next logical step would be having someone on for a Swift tutorial, no?
54:20 I guess I don't completely understand why are you writing it so differently for the isOdd function? Can the even and isOdd function be written either way?
To be fair Java is catching up quite a bit in recent versions. So I'm not sure if Kotlin will ever replace Java or the other way around or if they just continue to coexist. It seems like Oracle accepted the challenge. Nevertheless it is a great achievement for Jetbrains to play at the levels of Google and Oracle. And their IDEs already wiped the floor with their competitors.
Thanks for the opportunity Brad, and I hope you guys like Kotlin! :)

Wow you should make a udemy course. You explained the concepts soooo well! I will come back to this video if i ever need a refresher for OOP

Best real world explanation of abstract class i ever heard.
I'm really glad that kotlin look 80-90% exactly same as JavaScript which will help web developers learn kotlin easily for native mobile development
