Level 1 — Kotlin Foundations: First Steps and Core Syntax

Level 2 — Data and Types in Depth: Strings, Numbers and Null Safety
Go deeper into the data every program is built from. Master strings — templates, escapes, raw strings and the everyday methods — then the numeric types, literals, conversions and arithmetic subtleties, the type system with Any, is and smart casts, and finally complete null safety: nullable types, safe calls, Elvis, !!, let and lateinit. 25 theory lessons with 250 explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 3 — Control Flow Mastery: when, Loops and Problem Solving
Take full command of how your programs decide and repeat. Master the when expression in every form — statement, expression, with and without a subject, with constants, ranges, in checks and is smart casts — then push loops to expert level: for with until, downTo, step and reversed, string iteration, nested grids, while and do-while, loop bug hunting, break, continue and labels, and finally problem solving with exceptions: try, catch, finally, throw, require and check. 25 theory lessons with 250 explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 4 — Functions in Depth: Parameters, Lambdas and Recursion
Move from writing functions to thinking in functions. Master function types like (Int) -> Int and references with ::, lambdas with it and trailing syntax, higher-order functions that take and return other functions, anonymous functions and return@ labels, complete recursion with base cases, stack overflow and tailrec, plus the power tools: vararg, the spread operator, function overloading and closures. 25 theory lessons with 250 explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 5 — Collections Basics: Arrays, Lists, Sets and Maps
Store, organize and transform data like a working developer. Start with arrays: creation with arrayOf and Array(n) { }, primitive arrays like IntArray, the equality trap of == versus contentEquals, and clean printing with contentToString. Then the workhorse lists — read-only versus mutable, safe reads with getOrNull and getOrElse, in-place mutation with add, set, removeAt and remove, slicing with take, drop, slice and subList, and sorting with sorted, sort, sortedBy and distinct. Master sets for uniqueness — ordering guarantees, add and remove semantics, union, intersect and subtract — and maps for key-value data with safe lookups, getOrPut, destructuring iteration and the associate and groupBy builders. Finish with the transformation toolkit: map, filter, flatMap, zip, sums and extremes, any, all, find, fold, reduce and joinToString. 25 theory lessons with 250 fully explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 6 — Object-Oriented Kotlin I: Classes, Constructors and Properties
Think in objects. Declare classes and create instances, give them state with properties and behavior with member functions, and learn how identity and equality really work. Master the primary constructor — parameters versus properties, default values, named arguments and init blocks — then secondary constructors with this(...) delegation and the exact initialization order. Go deep on properties: computed getters, custom setters through the field identifier, lateinit rules and encapsulation with private set. Finish with visibility modifiers, the this keyword, choosing between properties and functions, and overriding toString for readable output. 25 theory lessons with 250 fully explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 7 — Object-Oriented Kotlin II: Inheritance, Interfaces and Special Classes
Objects that talk to each other. Extend safely with open classes, replace behavior with method and property overrides, and reuse parent code through super. Force subclasses to finish a design with abstract classes, then watch polymorphic dispatch send one call to many behaviors through supertype references and heterogeneous lists. Model capabilities with interfaces — default implementations, interface properties and the interface-versus-abstract decision — and lock a hierarchy down with sealed classes and sealed interfaces plus exhaustive when. Finish with the special classes that make Kotlin concise: object singletons, companion objects with factory functions, data classes with generated equals, hashCode, toString and copy, enum classes, and nested, inner and anonymous classes. 25 theory lessons with 250 fully explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 8 — Functional Kotlin: Higher-Order Functions and Scope Functions
Functions that take functions further. Master the five standard-library scope functions — let, run, with, apply and also — their two context shapes (this versus it) and two return shapes (block result versus receiver), safe-call chains, nested receivers, shadowing and this@ labels. Learn when each tool earns its place and when plain code reads better. Then open the engine room: function types with receiver such as String.() -> Int that power apply, with and Kotlin DSLs, hand-written myApply, myAlso, myRun and myWith, a mini builder DSL, and bound, unbound and constructor references. Finish with Sequence pipelines: laziness, intermediate versus terminal operations, short-circuiting, generateSequence and the sequence builder. 25 theory lessons with 250 fully explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 9 — Advanced Kotlin: Generics, Delegation, Extensions and DSLs
Type-safe flexibility and elegant APIs. Start with generics: type parameters on functions and classes, inference and explicit type arguments, bounded parameters like <T : Number> and <T : Comparable<T>>, and multi-constraint where clauses. Then variance: why MutableList is invariant, out for producers and in for consumers, use-site projections and the star, and reified type parameters that defeat erasure thanks to inline. Next, delegation: class delegation with by as inheritance's practical cousin, delegated properties, lazy with its thread-safety modes, observable and vetoable, map-backed properties and hand-written delegates. Then extensions: extension functions and properties, static dispatch and the member-beats-extension rule, nullable receivers, receiver scope and member extensions. Finish with the API-design toolkit: operator conventions (plus, get, set, contains, rangeTo, invoke, iterator, compareTo), infix functions and precedence, and DSL builders with @DslMarker. 25 theory lessons with 250 fully explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.

Level 10 — Kotlin Mastery: Coroutines, Testing and Best Practices
The finish line, where Kotlin becomes professional. First coroutines: why suspending beats blocking, runBlocking, launch and delay, suspend functions under the hood, async, await and Deferred, and a concurrent data-fetching case study. Then structured concurrency: CoroutineScope and the parent-child hierarchy, Job handles with join and cancel, cooperative cancellation with ensureActive, yield and NonCancellable, withTimeout and withTimeoutOrNull, exception propagation, CoroutineExceptionHandler and supervisorScope. Next, dispatchers and streams: Default, IO and Main, withContext and the coroutine context, channels with send, receive and close, and cold Flows with map, filter, catch and onCompletion. Then testing: the AAA pattern, JUnit and kotlin.test assertions, assertFailsWith, edge-case thinking, test doubles — fakes, stubs and dependency injection — plus testing coroutines and Flows with runTest virtual time. Finally best practices: idiomatic style, null-safe API design and platform types, stdlib-first thinking with chunked, windowed and the OrNull family, code organization and single responsibility, and refactoring Java-style code into clean Kotlin. 25 theory lessons with 250 fully explained questions, plus a 50-question full practice test.
