2018-11-24 - Getting started

As with every good start to a project I cheat and Google what other people of done. Search terms "ui focus android framework" landed me on a blog post that summarizes the development improvement take-ways that the author obtained from the 2018 Google I/O conference.

What I meant to search was "ui focused android framework". The first search result was Flutter which looked like a UI-focused cross-platform framework for Android. I'd rather try out Kotlin on Android for now, but it does look interesting.

I have also considered React Native, which would allow me to get some exposure to React as well.

2018-12-08 - Getting started 2

I bought a Kotlin Andoird course from udemy.com called "The Complete Android Kotlin Developer Course". The first thing I noticed is the instructor is using IntelliJ IDEA instead of Android Studio. Does IntelliJ have better Kotlin support than Anroid Studio?

I downloaded the free IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition here.
