Our Verdict

Though the course content is well-structured and covers a wide range of topics related to Kotlin and Spring Boot, the learning experience might be dampened by the instructor's accent, fast pacing during coding demonstrations, and outdated references. Attempting this course requires patience due to copy & pasted test cases and an assumption that students can follow along despite changes in the IntelliJ interface. However, it provides a solid foundation for developing applications using Kotlin and Spring Boot.

What We Liked

Covers a wide range of topics from Kotlin basics to building Restful APIs using Spring Boot and testing with JUnit5
In-depth explanations of Java and Kotlin interoperability
Instructor is knowledgeable about the subject matter
Clear explanations of the development process, including dev and testing (unit and IT tests)

Potential Drawbacks

Strong accent and pronunciation make it challenging to understand key concepts even with subtitles
Instructor speaks too fast while pasting text and code, making it difficult to follow and code along
Test cases are mostly copy & pasting, leading to easy misses and potential errors
Outdated references for PostgresDB, DockerSetup, and TestContainers instructions
