Developing Server Apps in Kotlin

​What is ThelearningDev?

​​TheLearningDev is a fun co-learning space for people to learn tech together. Remember the 1st time you learned programming, and it kept you hooked. We want to recreate that feeling

​TheLearningDev is

• ​Not a workshop

• ​Not a bootcamp

• ​Not a cohort-based course

• ​Is a space for us to learn and explore a topic together

​​What should I know to hop in?

• ​Enthusiasm to learn

• ​Good command in Kotlin

​What will we build?

​We are partnering with Kotlin User Group Chennai to introduce you to Kotlin ecosystem

​Kotlin is a modern, easy-to-learn programming language that's great for both Android development and server-side applications. This session is ideal for those with a basic understanding of Kotlin and want to apply their skills to server-side development.

​Together, we'll cover:

• ​Setting up your development environment for Kotlin

• ​Using Ktor, a lightweight framework for building server applications in Kotlin

• ​Creating simple routes that handle GET and POST requests

• ​Working with JSON to process and respond to client data

• ​Running and testing your server on your local machine

​By the end of this session, we’ll have built a simple yet functional server app. Whether you're an Android developer expanding your skill set or just interested in server-side programming, this co-learning experience will provide you with the foundational knowledge to move forward.
