What you'll learn

With Compose, building a beautiful UI and creating neat animations becomes an easier task since it is based on the already familiar Kotlin APIs. The declarative approach of this tool allows you to reduce the time required to implement any ideas in the application interface, as well as achieve more concise and clear code. Will this course, you will get a basic introduction to Jetpack Compose and create your first simple apps with it.
You will discover how to:

Create beautiful UIs in Kotlin from scratch;
Navigate the app with Jetpack Compose Navigation;
Handle and hoist state;
Create custom reusable composables.

Learn by doing

# 1

Apply knowledge into practice

You already know the theory. Now it's time to code like you do at work—in a professional IDE, with real project constraints, solving problems that actually matter. Welcome to software engineering as it should be.

# 2

Navigate complexity with surgical precision

Most developers waste months learning random concepts without seeing how they connect. Our interactive Knowledge Map fixes this. It shows exactly how every programming concept relates to others, helping you build a structured mental model of coding.

# 3

Copy the best. Then improve.

Here's what top engineers do that others don't: they study other people's code obsessively. When you get stuck on Hyperskill, you can explore solutions published by other developers. See their exact code. Understand their approach. Learn their tricks.

# 4

Code review that actually makes you better

We stripped code review down to what actually matters: does your solution work? Have you handled the edge cases? Is there a cleaner way to write this? Hyperskill acts like a competent reviewer who actually tests your code. Not genius-level analysis, not architecture debates — just solid feedback on making your code better.

Elevate your engineering mastery through real-world challenges

Master advanced engineering concepts through ambitious projects. Each project deepens your expertise and transforms you from an experienced engineer into an exceptional one.

Restaurant Menu App

Let's make an app that will help waiters to manage client orders in a restaurant. It will consist of a simple layout with buttons and several visual cues to register various orders.

The course provided a solid foundation in Jetpack Compose for Android development. The modular approach and modern UI practices were particularly helpful. It seems like a great starting point for those looking to transition from the traditional View system.

Learn only a fraction of the composables available for developing an app yet it seems so much. No course can cover it all. The rest I can learn by writing programs but I have learned the most used composables. I also learned how to write my own composables. The course was great.
