Bootcamp Highlights - Android Part 1, Your first Android app with Kotlin

Guest blog by Kimberley HaywardThis past Tuesday we had Kai Koenig and Kate Henderson come in to give us an introduction on how to create apps using Android Studio.To begin with Kai went over Kotlin and the features, fields, and variables that come with it. Next, we were given a rundown on Android Studio and how to set up a project, which many people were able to do on their own machines. After all this was done we got down to coding and followed along with Kai as he walked us through different aspects of the provided code: https://github.com/TheRealAgentK/SummerOfTech-Android-2018Starting out with an app that displayed ‘hello world’, by the end of the night we had multiple views with functioning buttons, with more to come at the next two workshops! If you missed this one, don’t worry, you can still come to the next two. Just try cloning the repository and getting it running. If you can’t do that, at least try getting familiar with what the code does!
