Hi Emmanuel! Olan here from FNSValue. Thanks for reaching out. I'm glad you're up to the challenge and are open to learning new things!

For beginners, I recommend starting with some online tutorials and courses that cater to your learning style. Here are some resources to get you started:

1. Online video platform

• Udemy or courses on LinkedIn Learning
• YouTube (I recommend for you to explore the Android Developers channel, as it covers various topics including tutorials on specific features, updates on tools and libraries, and more.)

2. Learning from example repositories

• Look into open-source projects on platforms like GitHub provides insights into Kotlin and Java code structure, best practices, and common patterns. Focusing on simple apps initially allows beginners to understand basic concepts and gradually explore more complex projects. Analyzing the codebase helps learners understand how different architectures, such as MVC, MVVM, or MVP, are implemented in Kotlin and Java.

3. Self-learning resources

• Have a look at Android Developer Documentation (https://developer.android.com): The official Android Developer website offers comprehensive documentation, guides, and code samples for both Kotlin and Java. This resource covers everything from basic concepts to advanced topics and is mainly focused on native development.
• W3Schools (https://www.w3schools.com): This platform might be more focused on web development, but it also provides step-by-step tutorials for beginners learning Kotlin and Java, focusing on basic programming concepts.
• Google Developers Training (https://developer.android.com/courses): Offers free courses you can take anytime.

Take your time to explore these resources, and you should be able to have a better grasp on how to use Java and Kotlin for this application challenge. Hope this helps, and all the best!
