In this episode, you will be able to understand the programming paradigms related to building user interfaces. We will focus on how the declarative UI development paradigm works and how it is different from the imperative UI development paradigm. You will learn how Jetpack Compose uses the declarative UI development paradigm to build user interfaces.

In this episode, you will understand what a composable function is and how you can create your first composable function to display some text. You will also get to learn how to use Jetpack Compose preview functions to view your composable function without having to run the application multiple times.

In this episode, you will learn how to build a simple layout using Jetpack Compose. You will learn how to use the Column, Row, Box and Scaffold composable functions to build a simple layout. You will also learn how to use the Modifier parameter to modify the layout of the composable functions.

In this episode, you will learn how to leverage the power of modifiers to customize the appearance and behavior of your Composables. You will learn how to use the Modifier class to customize the appearance and behavior of your Composables.

In this session, you will learn how to use the Spacer Composable to add space between Composables. You will also learn how to use the weight Modifier function to specify how much space an item should take up within a Column or Row Composable.

In this session, you will learn how to organize your code by extracting Composables into separate files. We will also discuss some important practices to follow when organizing your code.

In this session, you will learn how to add a TextField Composable to the app. You will also use different parameters available on the TextField Composable to customize its appearance.

In this session, you will learn how to customize the appearance of the TextField Composable. You will look at how to attach other Composables to the TextField Composable and even customize the colors within the TextField Composable.

In this session, you will learn how to display images in the app. You will also learn how to use the Image Composable to display images in the app. We will get to also customize the appearance of the image using the modifier parameter.

In this session, you will learn how to use the Checkbox and Radio Button Composables to allow users to select one or more options from a list of options.
