As a Senior Java Engineer and Kotlin novice, I feel the course has given me the tools to start using Kotlin properly for future development projects.
Stewart Coates - DLA PIPER
Course - Advanced Kotlin Programming
Intensity of a course, coverage of topics. Complicated topics are explained on a good level, so even though there are some white spots left in of them (like DSL) -- it won't be hard to go on by myself as I already have a common understanding of basis and at least know how to form my questions to Google.
