KMP for Android developers

Why Learn KMP?

1. Kotlin Multiplatform is growing fast. JetBrains and Google are both investing heavily in it.
2. Companies like Netflix, Forbes, McDonald's, and many others already have production apps written in KMP.
3. Demand for KMP developers is increasing — most Android jobs nowadays mention KMP as a plus or outright demand knowledge of it.
4. Unlike Flutter or React Native, KMP lets you use Kotlin— so you don’t need to to learn a new language. In fact, if you’re an Android engineer - you already know 90% of everything that you need to start using it.

By learning KMP, you will: 

- Increase your job prospects and compensation.

- Become a more versatile developer who understands how many different platforms work.

- Will be able to develop for virtually all platforms with Kotlin.
