A modern Gradle tutorial from Philipp was a pleasant surprise today. Thanks for the great videos man!

Eventhough some of your videos are difficult to understand for beginners like me, the work you put to educate other people is heartwarming ❤💚.

Amazing content love it.
Can you please make a video about now in android app sample of google and explain how its build logic module works.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the new video. i had a bit of a request though. It would be nice if you made a vanila kotlin tutorial about the programing language not neccessarily about kotlin frameworks but just a coding tutorial by itself because alot of people (Myself included) are missing that important foundation. Thanks again discount on the couses though just brought it within my budget
