To make the most out of this training, participants should have:

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) knowledge: Familiarity with the principles and concepts of object-oriented programming is essential. Understanding topics such as classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism will provide a solid foundation for learning Kotlin.
• Programming Experience: Participants should have prior experience with at least one programming language, preferably Java or a similar language. Understanding basic programming concepts like variables, functions, control structures, and data types will help grasp Kotlin concepts more easily.
• Java Knowledge (recommended): While not mandatory, having familiarity with Java will be beneficial. Kotlin interoperates seamlessly with Java, so understanding Java syntax and concepts will aid in understanding Kotlin's similarities and differences.
• IDE Familiarity: Participants should be comfortable working with an integrated development environment (IDE) such as IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, or Eclipse. Familiarity with basic IDE operations like creating projects, editing code, and running/debugging applications will enhance the learning experience.
