<p>All current popular DI frameworks for Java use annotation processing during compilation and/or program execution. They work equally well for Kotlin, but have their drawbacks because they generate too much code and/or use reflexion, which negatively affects the compilation time of the application, its size and performance. In addition, their configuration is usually non-trivial for a large project. Kotlin went better way...</p>

<p>Kotlin hat sich in den letzten Jahren sehr verbreitet. Die Sprache, die ursprünglich nur für die JVM gedacht war, compiliert inzwischen auch nach JavaScript und native, wird von Google offiziell für Android unterstützt und erfreut sich generell immer mehr Beliebtheit. In dem Kurzvortrag werden die Grundlagen der Sprache angeschnitten. Ein Vergleich mit Java zeigt spezielle Probleme auf, die in altbekannten Sprachen bestehen. Warum Kotlin immer beliebter wird und was damit möglich ist, zeigt ein kleiner Ausblick.</p>

<p>tl;dr - Write less (but safer!) code in your Android apps or any JVM-based projects Ever work on an Android app and tire of all the boilerplate code? Or spend hours chasing down NullPointerExceptions in your Java app? Enter Kotlin, JetBrains' new(ish) free, open-source programming language that targets the JVM. This means you can use it everywhere you use Java, but with a modern, succinct syntax. For native Android developers, Kotlin is not only available, but it's now considered a first-class language. You're able to write an app completely with Kotlin, or switch over entire components, or even just change your models to Kotlin's data classes (which removes a TON of boilerplate code.) Oh, and for anyone using Java elsewhere, you can add in Kotlin code to your existing application. Kotlin is 100% interoperable with Java, meaning all your existing code/libraries/tests will work with any Kotlin code you write. Doing JavaScript development? Kotlin can be transpiled into ES5, and there are even libraries available to use React or Angular with Kotlin. C# dev working on any kind of Java project? You'll feel much more at home with Kotlin, given features like nullable types, properties (rather than getters/setters), and extension methods. We'll walk through Kotlin's features, check out the syntax, and even create a small Android application so you can see Kotlin in action.</p>

<p>Kotlin is a programming language that grew a lot in the last few years. Currently it's the default language for new Android apps, but are you ready for the next steps? Kotlin multiplatform is growing a lot and, despite the beta status, it's already possible to share code between different platforms. In this talk I'll explain how it works, the libraries that are already compatible with different platforms and how we are using it in iFood.</p>

        <url>https://www.meetup.com/kotlin-office-hours/events/260312792/</url>
         <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Running Kotlin/JVM on serverless platforms typically means dealing with high memory usage and slower startup times, which means interpreted languages like JS and Python are typically more popular. Since Kotlin can target JS, we can actually write Kotlin code that runs on serverless Node runtimes to get the performance and memory benefits that runtime provides. Surprisingly, we can also use Kotlin/Native to target serverless platforms to combine the speed of native code with the simplicity of serverless operations. I’ll talk about how to use both of these approaches to build cheaper, more performant serverless applications and how you might choose between them.</p>

<p>One of the many hazards of trying out a new language is the lack of interoperability. A new language often presents the added burden of learning a whole new ecosystem. The designers of Kotlin took special care to make sure Kotlin suffered from this as little as possible. Generally speaking, much of the code written in Kotlin can be consumed from Java programs in complete ignorance. In some cases, we need to provide a little extra help. In this talk we’ll cover how to manage Kotlin/Java interop to make your Kotlin code as seamlessly usable from Java as possible.</p>

<p>Most programming languages have been introducing asynchronous programming mechanisms. Kotlin, for its part, implemented coroutines which use channels to communicate with each other. Therefore, high-load applications depend on those channels performance, so they need to be implemented in an efficient and scalable way.</p>
<p>In this talk, we will discuss channel algorithms in other programming languages, how we in Kotlin developed our solution, which challenges and subtle aspects we encountered during this process, and whether we managed a real improvement of the existing solutions.</p>

Мы рассмотрим различные технологии из мира Kotlin, делающие этот язык таким мощным и удобным инструментом: создадим мультиплатформенный проект, переиспользующий код между Kotlin/JVM и Kotlin/JS, напишем фронтенд с помощью удобных DSL для React и CSS и воспользуемся корутинами для клиент-серверного взаимодействия.</p>

<p>Coroutines is a popular asyc kotlin library that offers an alternative to more complex libraries like RxJava. We will be diving into the basics of coroutines using a Kotlin server side tool called Ktor. Ktor is a framework for building asynchronous servers and clients using the Kotlin programming language. We will walk through a simple implementation of creating an API using Ktor. We will learn the basics of coroutines to implement familiar concepts such as serving JSON content, simple routing, and handling HTTP methods.</p>

<p>AWS Lambdas are one of the most useful tools to use when creating a backend. Allowing developers to not have to worry about the server and configurations their backend is running on, Lambdas allow you the versatility to write code in many different languages and provide many different services including providing an api; Kotlin is one of them. We will go over how to create your api with Lambdas using Kotlin and AWS Serverless.</p>

<p>Coroutines have been with us for a few years now. They have been even considered stable for over half a year. Still lots of folks are afraid of them. Judging by number of questions about them on Stack Overflow and other sites there is still a lot of misconceptions and bad intuitions involving use of coroutines. In my short talk I would like to clarify what it means for function to be suspended and explain why sometimes our asyncs are in fact synchronous. I will also presents you most basic building blocks provieded by kotlinx.coroutines.core library, that we will use later during workshop.</p>

<p>Very many good books on OO design have advised us to choose delegation over inheritance. Yet, most developers using OO languages like Java use inheritance predominantly compared to delegation. Part of the reason is the lack of support for delegation when compared to inheritance. In this presentation we will see how Kotlin has first class support for delegation. We will look at how delegation helps us better model relationships and take a look at some usecases of applying delegates in Kotlin.</p>

<p>Domain Specific Languages are quite common: Gradle API, Rake, Ant, CSS, to name a few. Internal DSLs ride on the language capabilities and remove the need to create specific parsers. To serve as a host, however, the language should have top notch fluency and must be highly expressive. In this presentation we will see how Kotlin fits that bill and how to trick the language to creating DSLs.</p>

<p>Asynchronous code can get really messy really quickly. Callback hell was named callback hell for a reason. There are some good ways to avoid this in your design, but sometimes you have to live with some ugly old async API. Maybe because it's provided by a third party, or maybe it's just too difficult to rip out and rewrite. What you can do in this case is to write a Kotlin extension/wrapper on top of the API.</p>
<p>Kotlin Coroutines are a fantastic way to clean up ugly async APIs. They can make your async code as easy to read and understand as sequential code, but give you all the benefits of non blocking async code.
In this session I'm going to show you how I took an ugly asynchronous API and wrote a Kotlin extension on top of it using coroutines and channels to make it super clean and easy to use. I'll also be sharing some of the lessons and best practices we learned along the way.</p>
<p>This is a beginner-friendly event. No previous knowledge of Kotlin is required, however we recommend familiarity with at least another programming language.</p>

<p>Ktor is a Kotlin framework for creating web servers (and clients).
Unlike other frameworks, Ktor is written entirely in Kotlin and can therefore use language features such as Coroutines, reified Generics and Extension Functions more effectively.
With little overhead, fast results and good performance, Ktor is especially interesting for microservices.
If you are bored with Spring, you will find what you are looking for here. All others learn at least something new.</p>

<p>Ktor runs in standard server environments, like Google's App Engine, which will host and scale your backend automatically.</p>
<p>I will guide you through the process of setting up a ktor project, build a small web api and set it up on Docker.</p>

<p>Sharing code between platforms is a powerful technique, but it may be hard to accomplish without rich APIs that we have in Android, JVM, or iOS platforms. Kotlin Multiplatform libraries can be used to fix that, bringing rich APIs directly in the common Kotlin code.</p>

<p>A programação assíncrona assume atualmente importância crescente no desenvolvimento de aplicações distribuídas, onde uma parte significativa do código tem a responsabilidade de coordenar interações com sistemas externos.</p>
<p>É reflexo desta importância a recente introdução do conceito de método/função assíncrona e do operador await nas linguagens C#, JavaScript e Python.</p>
<p>Recentemente a linguagem Kotlin também introduziu mecanismos específicos para a programação assíncrona, contudo optou por seguir um caminho ligeiramente diferente e basear esses mecanismos no conceito de corotina.</p>

<p>Both Java and Kotlin are languages that are heavily used in Distributed Systems, handling multiple asynchronous operations simultaneously. Blocking is not an option in such an environment, but let’s be honest, we crave for the easier synchronous world. That’s why JVM as a platform has an inherent focus on providing an easier option of multithreaded programming. Today, I’d like to compare two of such options - Kotlin Coroutines and Project Loom, that want to provide fibers and continuations to core Java.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>-Адепты функционального программирования очень любят завлекать неопытных программистов обещаниями идеальной выразительности кода, его стопроцентной корректности, лёгкости поддержки и простоты рефакторинга. Иные даже пророчат высочайшую производительность и попадание после смерти напрямую в райские кущи. Опытные разработчики знают, что ничего такого не бывает, программирование — это тяжёлый труд, а серебряные пули, может, и помогают от вампиров, но никак не в процессе разработки ПО. С другой стороны, если что-то может хоть как-то облегчить труд программиста, то почему бы не попробовать этим чем-то воспользоваться?</p>
<p>-В своём докладе я сформулирую основные элементы функционального стиля программирования, приведу примеры их воплощения в коде на двух языках - Swift и Kotlin, а также попытаюсь предложить прагматичный подход к их применению. Разработчики этих языков прекрасно знакомы с функциональным программированием, поэтому они смогли сделать удобным его применение «в малом», предусмотрев все необходимые компоненты. Причём чем дальше, тем качественнее и полнее соответствующая поддержка реализуется.</p>

<p>Want to hack and learn coroutines with us? Coroutines is a popular topic these days when parallell and asynchronous programming is discussed. In this meetup we will take a look at coroutines, their differences to threads and how you can use it in your project. Instead of just a presentation, we will hack and learn together! Bring your laptop, we will provide pizza and tasks. To get you started we will even throw a short introductory presentation into the mix.</p>

<p>Kotlin Coroutines is a powerful tool. Well implemented concept of suspendable computation... It is a dream of many theoretics of concurrent programming for a long time. But how it is possible? How do Kotlin coroutines really work? Why are they important? What do they introduce? And finally, how you can use them in your project?</p>
<p>In this talk, I will show you how to use Kotlin Coroutines and what makes them so special and so efficient. I will also discuss if they are an alternative to RxJava.</p>

This talk introduces the fundamentals of both Coroutines and Channels with a simple Coffee Shop analogy. It'll take you from the foundation to a few different approaches on solving common problems. See how you can add Coroutines and Channels to your toolbox of asynchronous programming.</p>

<p>We are going to explore how we use nullable types in Kotlin — going through the benefits, caveats and alternatives that can make or break our code. What can we do to make our code more readable, maintainable and less error bound? What should we avoid? It may contain traces of opinions.</p>

<p>Ktor is an asynchronous web framework built from the the ground up using Kotlin and coroutines. It provides developers the ability to create both server and client applications targeting a variety of platforms including JVM, JavaScript and macOS, Windows and Linux via Kotlin/Native. In this talk we’re going to focus primarily on Ktor as a server application, see how simple it is to create asynchronous and robust server side applications, deployment models, features it provides out of the box, its extensibility model, and how it’s different to some of the other existing solutions on the market</p>

Domain specific languages are subsets of functions in a programming language designed specifically to ease development and communicate intention more effectively within a particular problem-space.</p>
<p>John Burns will kick things off around 6pm by examining how Kotlin's language features enable us to construct a DSL for building static websites.</p>
<p>Jonathan Bisson will follow up speaking about how he utilizes Kotlin in his daily professional life and he will explore some of the applications he has built, some of the libraries used (SpringBoot, TornadoFX) and the science surrounding them.</p>

<p>Develop IoT solutions with Kotlin is possible thanks to the incorporation to Kotlin as a first class programming language to Android and the becoming of Android Things, an optimized version of Android for embedded devices. This talk is looking for explore the aspects around IoT projects, Hardware, Security, Server Side, Data Analysis from the hand of Android Things and Kotlin.</p>
<p>The Internet of Things is a technology that has been echoing for some time. Arriving to generate interesting and attractive solutions. It usually happens that those who develop this type of solutions know about the Hardware, or they only have knowledge of the Software side. This talk seeks to explore all those aspects around IoT in the hand of a real project for monitoring fishbowls (something that you can implement at home).</p>
<p>In the hardware side, we will use sensors and different technologies for handle the information obtained from these (Raspberry PI, Arduino, etc). Since we want to show how to use Kotlin for develop IoT solutions, we will use Android Things with Kotlin and Raspberry PI.</p>
<p>The server side, using Serverless or IoT cloud solutions, options to analyze our information. Finally, is important take some considerations over the security aspects in IoT projects, although there are not yet 100% solid solutions, there are already efforts to solve this.</p>

<p>This talk will cover Kotlin code generation with KotlinPoet. KotlinPoet is a Kotlin (and Java) API for generating kotlin source files.</p>
Sometimes a task is repetitive enough that it seems like you shouldn’t actually have to do it, but not so repetitive that you can just tell the IDE to handle it. KotlinPoet will help you generate Kotlin code, whether in an annotation processor, in a local script, or even to share a common definition between server and client. We’ll look at how it works, and some tips and tricks for solving common problems with it!</p>

<p>With front-end web apps becoming larger and more complex, and Node.js allowing Javascript to be used on the server side, the language has had a rapid rise in popularity. But for many JVM/Android developers, the thought of getting into front end web development and the Javascript ecosystem can seem quite unpleasant. However with Kotlin's ability to target JS, we can leverage the language features we've come to love, to make the experience a bit more fun. In this talk, we'll explore how we can build a Kotlin front-end application and even use Kotlin to interact with Node.js on the server.</p>

<p>Now it's more then a year since Gradle officially supports Kotlin-DSL to define projects. This (and JetBrain’s effort to support of Kotlin-Native) allows to develop most of the projects COMPLETELY in Kotlin including server side, client side, native/mobile application and build/test scripts.</p>
<p>However most project generating tools still create Gradle scripts in Groovy only. Even IntelliJ IDEA creates Kotlin projects with Groovy script for Gradle.</p>
<p>Now is the perfect time for this presentation to demonstrate how easy it is to convert Groovy script for Gradle to Kotlin-DSL script for Gradle.</p>

<p>Develop IoT solutions with Kotlin is possible thanks to the incorporation to Kotlin as a first class programming language to Android and the becoming of Android Things, an optimized version of Android for embedded devices. This talk is looking for explore the aspects around IoT projects, Hardware, Security, Server Side, Data Analysis from the hand of Android Things and Kotlin. The Internet of Things is a technology that has been echoing for some time. Arriving to generate interesting and attractive solutions. It usually happens that those who develop this type of solutions know about the Hardware, or they only have knowledge of the Software side. This talk seeks to explore all those aspects around IoT in the hand of a real project for monitoring fishbowls (something that you can implement at home). In the hardware side, we will use sensors and different technologies for handle the information obtained from these (Raspberry PI, Arduino, etc). Since we want to show how to use Kotlin for develop IoT solutions, we will use Android Things with Kotlin and Raspberry PI. The server side, using Serverless or IoT cloud solutions, options to analyze our information. Finally, is important take some considerations over the security aspects in IoT projects, although there are not yet 100% solid solutions, there are already efforts to solve this.</p>

<p>TLDR: The big discussion: Kotlin or Java, to migrate or not to migrate and why... The world of languages on the JVM has seen alternatives to Java come and go. Kotlin is probably the most popular one at this moment. Although Java is still one of the most commonly used programming languages, Kotlin seems to keep growing very fast. Where Java is known for its verbosity, Kotlin aims at making programming easier. On the other hand, Kotlin is a mix of paradigms and forces you to learn yet another language. Moreover, with all the new features that are rapidly introduced in Java, is Kotlin actually needed? So what are the aspects where they differ from each other? In which situations should we choose the one or the other? Should we migrate to Kotlin or is Java good enough? As Kotlin claims full interoperability with Java, should we even choose? In this talk we will fire up the battle between Kotlin and Java. In this battle one of us will root for Java while the other cheers for Kotlin. Who wins? That is totally up to you. The audience will be judge and jury. So...bring it on.</p>

<p>With front-end web apps becoming larger and more complex, and Node.js allowing Javascript to be used on the server side, the language has had a rapid rise in popularity. But for many JVM/Android developers, the thought of getting into front end web development and the Javascript ecosystem can seem quite unpleasant. However with Kotlin's ability to target JS, we can leverage the language features we've come to love, to make the experience a bit more fun. In this talk, we'll explore how we can build a Kotlin front-end application and even use Kotlin to interact with Node.js on the server.
Learn how to leverage Kevin’s Kotlin codegen so your data model can be immutable and quickly parsed reflection free. I’ll discuss why this is important to us as developers, integration details, and how Moshi implemented this feature!</p>

<p>Concrete examples, based on real-world code, of how converting Java code to Kotlin improves it. We will cover: * Reducing the amount of code for common patterns like value objects and default parameters * Preventing errors using immutability, null safety and explicit inheritance * Expressing ideas more directly using pattern matching, sealed classes and conditional expressions * Less verbose functional-style code like streams and lambdas * Clearer object structure with primary and secondary constructors One of the joys of Kotlin is how easy it is to make a gradual transition from Java. All of the examples will demonstrate code that can be dropped in to an existing Java code base with little or no disruption. If we have time, we'll discuss things we wish were in Kotlin, and whether any of them are plausible on the JVM platform.</p>

<p>Dopo 20 anni Java inizia a sentire il peso degli anni e la sua sintassi non evolve come vorremmo, ma la JVM resta sempre un ambiente affidabile ed è già in produzione presso moltissime aziende. Negli ultimi anni sono usciti molti linguaggi basati sulla JVM, ma non tutti hanno avuto il successo sperato. Kotlin ha conquistato Android e, ora, grazie a una sintassi intuitiva e grandi aziende che lo supportano potrebbe essere molto utilizzato anche nelle applicazioni web.</p>

<p>Kotlin starts to take more space in the coding world. Why is it an interesting language? How is it different than Java? Why would one switch? For our next tech talk, we have invited Mariana Bocoi - a software developer at Volvo Car Mobility - who will try to answer these questions and share her experience from working in Java, Clojure and now Kotlin. Most of the comparisons will be to Java.</p>

<p>Andy will demonstrate how testing with Kotlin is significantly cleaner, easier and more enjoyable than Java. Testing can take advantage of the majority of Kotlin features and has some very easy to use frameworks. As a result, testing is one of the easiest ways to start making the switch from Java to Kotlin or to begin your Kotlin journey, so this is a must see talk!</p>

<p>The Java ecosystem allows developers to profit from a large pool of reusable libraries. Traditionally, the platform-independence of Java always made it easy to publish and share ready-to-use libraries. As Kotlin and Android developers, we also profit from this existing catalogue of libraries. However, new challenges for dealing with dependencies in the JVM world emerged over the past years, as software systems grew further in complexity and new platforms, such as Kotlin or Android, emerged.</p>
<p>Dependency management is one of the major functionalities of the Gradle Build Tool.</p>
</p>Gradle 5 offers a number of new stable features to support developers in managing dependencies – and more can be expected soon.</p>

<p>Kotlin has seen rapid adoption over the last two years, and is now mainstream on the JVM. But that is only the start of the story. During 2018 Kotlin JS became a realistic option for browser based apps, with extensive support for building UI's in React. This year will see the emergence of Kotlin Native, enabling you to write programs that run outside of the JVM across a range of platforms. Best of all your common code can be managed via multiplatform projects and libraries, ending the duplication of type declarations in distributed systems. In this talk Garth will present examples of both Kotlin JS Web apps and Kotlin Native programs and talk about the stability, maturity and long term prospects for each.</p>

<p>Google lo soporta como lenguaje de primer nivel para Android, muchas bibliotecas le dan soporte al primer nivel e incluso nuestro querido Gradle lo va a usar para implementar su DSL alternativa.</p>
<p>No es ningún secreto que Jetbrains, los creadores del lenguaje, se inspiraron muchísimo en Groovy. Eso nos coloca a los programadores de Groovy en un punto ideal porque con poco esfuerzo podemos aprender este nuevo lenguaje trayéndonos mucha experiencia.</p>
<p>En esta charla voy a hacer un recorrido por algunas de las principales características del lenguaje y ponerlas frente a frente con Groovy. Veremos ventajas e inconvenientes de las dos aproximaciones y espero que salgáis con bastante ideas de cómo es el lenguaje.</p>

<p>Most presentations introducing a new language are really just language tours. A lot of interesting language features are shown but it's not always clear why one would choose to adopt that new language. This presentation looks at a number of interesting features of the language and ecosystem that are more interesting than just a fancy new for loop. No one switch languages because of a for loop. So we'll look at a number of "big ticket" features of the language and ecosystem that do more to distinguish Kotlin than mere syntax sugar alone can provide. It will reasonably fast paced as we try to cover as many interesting tidbits as we can get through.</p>

<p>This workshop covers asynchronous programming in Kotlin using coroutines. It starts with basics of asynchronous programming and its differences from blocking code and introduces concepts of suspending functions and coroutines. Dealing with the ecosystem of blocking code on JVM is covered in depth as well as best practices for managing cancellation of asynchronous operations. The workshop also covers more advanced topics of concurrent decomposition of work via futures, deep dive into coroutine contexts and includes an overview of Communication Sequential Process (CSP) approach and channels.</p>

<p>Kotlin coroutines are a new way to manage async operations on Android. Stable with Kotlin 1.3 now is a great time to explore using coroutines in your app. In this talk you’ll learn about the history coroutines, how they work in Kotlin, and effective patterns for using coroutines on Android. The talk will also cover how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes with using coroutines. After this talk you will have a good understanding of Kotlin coroutines and how to effectively use them on Android!</p>

<p>One of the best places to learn idiomatic Kotlin is the stdlib. Now I don’t mean just using the stdlib but going to the source, literally. In this session, we’ll look at some of the methods and tools inside the stdlib and dig into how they’re written to reveal intermediate to advanced language features, slick syntax and conventions, and high-level abstractions to help you write more fluent objects and interfaces. We’ll also take a few glances at the underlying bytecode to understand how and why the features work the way they do.</p>

<p>Geht es nach Google, ist Kotlin die Zukunft der Android-Entwicklung. Erst vor etwas mehr als einem Jahr als „First-Class Citizen“ offiziell für die Android Plattform freigegeben, setzen heute bereits mehr als 25% der Top 1000 Android Anwendungen aus dem Play Store auf Kotlin. Und noch wichtiger: Die Zufriedenheit der Entwickler liegt laut Umfrage bei 97% und damit deutlich über dem vergleichbaren Wert für Java.</p>
<p>Der Grund hierfür liegt klar auf der Hand. Die speziell für die Entwicklung von Android Apps geschaffene Sprache ist die direkte Antwort auf viele Probleme, die sich durch die Verwendung von Java im Android-Umfeld ergeben. Sie vereint dabei das Beste aus objektorientierter und funktionaler Programmiersprache und unterstützt so die Entwickler optimal mit Inter-Operabilität, Sicherheit und Tool Support.</p>
<p>Der Workshop stellt Kotlin aus Sicht eines Android-Entwicklers vor und zeigt, welche Vorteile die Verwendung der neuen Programmiersprache mit sich bringen kann. Natürlich gehen wir dabei auch auf mögliche Migrationsszenarien und das Zusammenspiel von Java und Kotlin ein.</p>

<p>We have almost 20 years of Scala experience between us and have experience with many other languages. Recently we have jumped onto Kotlin, because it look very promising as Java competitor. Of course there is no one size fits all solution. We will show how the two languages compare and explain why and when, you should pick one over the other. Or maybe should consider some else all together.</p>

<p>2019 maybe be the year of Kotlin coroutines. What is a coroutine anyway? A coroutine is an instance of a state machine and a suspending function defines the state machine. What does that mean? Join me in this talk as we will explore the ins and out of coroutines. We will dive deep into channels, actors and the reactive streams modules. We’ll also look at their usage to solve common async problems in Android.</p>

<p>This presentation will give me the opportunity to present the upcoming official support of coroutines in Spring (Framework, Boot, Data) as well as Kofu, the Kotlin DSL, developed within the the Spring Fu incubator that I started a few months ago, which goal is to configure Spring Boot in a more explicit as well as more efficient manner.</p>
<p>My live coding will demonstrate how to develop a Spring Boot application with Kofu by using the new Coroutine API's from WebFlux and Spring Data R2DBC (Reactive SQL).</p>
<p>We will also compare Reactive API's versus Coroutines (pros and cons) to help you make informed decisions.</p>

<p>The promise of write-once-run-everywhere has haunted native mobile developers since the first time someone whispered the words “phone gap”. But what if there was a way to have cross-platform development with a modern, type-safe language? JetBrains is trying to make this happen with Kotlin/Native, which compiles to LLVM bytecode, and can run on iOS, Android, and even the web. Learn more about some of the benefits of working with Kotlin/Native, some of the drawbacks, and a few of the (current) potential dealbreakers when it comes to using this exciting new technology in a real app.</p>

<p>Kotlin is a first-class language for Android development since Google I/O 2017. And it’s here to stay! Thanks to Android Studio it’s really easy to introduce Kotlin in an existing project, the configuration is trivial and then we can convert Java classes to Kotlin using a Alt+Shift+Cmd+K. But the new syntax is the just beginning, using Kotlin we can improve our code making it more readable and simpler to write. In this talk we’ll see how to use some Kotlin features (for example data classes, collections, coroutines and delegates) to simplify Android development comparing the code with the equivalent “modern” Java code. It’s not fair to compare Kotlin code with plain Java 6 code so the Java examples will use lambdas and some external libraries like RxJava and AutoValue.</p>

<p>Have you recently wondered if this new backend project is a good moment to jump into Kotlin, but all you know about it was those blog posts and presentations saying how cool is it?</p>
<p>Maybe it is good idea to ask someone brave or stupid enough who has already done it? Then here we are to tell you our story of transformation from Java backend devs to Kotlin backend developers.</p>
<p>We will tell you what pitfalls we see in Kotlin and which of its features we appreciate the most. We will walk you through the recipes we gathered in our last project. Last but not least we will tell you if we would choose Kotlin again, knowing what we know today :)</p>

<p>Interested in Kotlin? And why not - it’s a pragmatic language designed to remove ceremony, solve real world problems and still feel familiar to newcomers. It can target the JVM, Android, JavaScript and native code, even running on iOS. That’s a lot of reach for a single programming language.</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll go on a high level, introductory tour of Kotlin - how to get up and running, what Kotlin looks like, and how to write idiomatic, concise code - functional or object oriented. We’ll look at data classes, top level and first class functions, inlining, null safety and more, including the design decisions behind some of the language choices. We’ll see how you can build DSLs, with examples from Android and HTML, and look at how we can build multi-platform projects. And we’ll take a look at coroutines, Kotlin’s answer to C#’s async/await.</p>

<p>Microservice architecture is now a huge trend. All big organizations with millions of users are doing microservices. This means they have lots of channels of communication between services and need to send and get much data. At some point, you can find yourself in a situation where your current approach doesn’t provide you with efficient communications, you pay more, wait for more, lose more etc. Maybe it’s time to look at gRPC… In this talk, we will cover the basics of gRPC, protocol buffers, and its usage. We will try to understand its pros and cons and where this approach could be used. We will also compare this approach with the alternatives. The most interesting about this talk is that we will have lots of practice. We will learn how to write .proto files, how to make effective communication between your microservices, and of course, write much code (in Kotlin)</p>

<p>Asynchronous programming is impossible to avoid in Android development unless your app is quite simple. Any networking or database calls require background threads to avoid blocking the UI, which could create ANR (Application Not Responding) bugs.</p>
<p>The Android framework provides AsyncTasks, which can be unwieldy. Some app developers use 3rd party libraries like RxJava to handle threading, which can involve a steep learning curve.</p>
<p>Coroutines provide a few advantages over these, but most importantly coroutines make asynchronous code read like synchronous code. With the release of Kotlin v1.3, coroutines are now stable. Come to Denver Droids and learn about the advantages, the how-to, and some best practices around coroutines.</p>

<p>Kotlin Coroutinesは非同期処理をシンプルに記述できるKotlinの言語機能です。実験的な機能としてこれまでも提供されてきましたがKotlin 1.3で正式にリリース予定です。</p>
<p>Androidの誕生から10年たちアプリの利用シーンが増えた結果、アプリ開発の複雑さも増してきています。開発者はアプリの性質に合わせてMVVMをはじめとしたアーキテクチャとArchitecture Components（AAC）など複雑性を解消するライブラリを組み合わせ、実装上の課題を解決してきました。
<p>本セッションでは新登場のCoroutinesを既存のアプリケーションへ適用する方法と導入するメリットを中心に解説します。</p>
<p>Coroutines の本質を理解することはアーキテクチャをよりシンプルに保ちます。そして言語機能の追加がアプリ開発現場に与える影響を考察していきます。</p>
<p>設計・開発の効率化といえば、これまで多くの場合、ライブラリの導入がメインでした。しかしアプリの複雑性が増加するにつれて多数のライブラリを導入しつづけることは開発者に多くの知識を要求し、イニシャルコストの増加に繋がります。言語そのものの力を理解することでコストを下げ、より素早い開発を実現できます。</p>
<p>本セッションはアプリ開発で実践できるよう、なじみのあるアーキテクチャを通じてCoroutinesを学んでいきます。
聞き終わったときには、AACなどモダンなライブラリのなかで効率的な非同期処理に対応する方法を習得できます</p>

<p>Most of the Java applications are written in Java 8 nowadays and people are looking around to upgrade to Java 11 or even migrating to Kotlin. Both are promoted as the new way to go and both have their own strengths and weaknesses. Upgrading to Java 11 might be an obvious next safe step to do. But what if you could migrate to Kotlin with the same effort? This would bring you additional advantages like: data classes, very concise list manipulations, extension functions, DSL's and even more to get your code more readable and maintainable. Considering the Kotlin migration, the first questions that pop up are: What are the wise steps to take and where to start? Some experiences and thoughts answering these questions will be shared during this live coding session.</p>

<p> have been coding in Java & Javascript for many years now and I want to learn something new. If I had to pick 1 Systems Programming and 1 Applications Programming language, which should/would that be. In this talk, I will compare go, rust, scala, kotlin and show how easy/difficult it is to write the first `Hello World` in these languages. We will look at the pros and cons of these 4 languages and will try to pick winners.</p>

<p>Asynchronous programming has always been a challenging problem for Android developers. Any good solution has to gracefully handle errors, cancellation, chaining multiple actions together, handle thread swapping, and much more.</p>
<p>Kotlin’s coroutines are yet another option for asynchronous programming. However, unlike other popular contenders, coroutines meet all the previously mentioned requirements out-of-the-box, have a gentler learning curve, and don’t require you to write an absurd amount of boilerplate.</p>
<p>That said, learning any new asynchronous solution takes time and often comes with a period of trial-and-error until you have all the nuances figured out. Get a jumpstart on coroutines:
<p>(1) Lessen the learning curve by getting the subtleties of coroutines out of the way early
(2) Learn how to work coroutines into an existing app: easy places to start transitioning, interop with existing libraries, and reusing existing threading constructs
(3) Learn how to easily support error handling, cancellation, and task chaining
(4) Learn how to unit test coroutines</p>
<p>Get a head start on coroutines in your apps and easily write, test, and maintain asynchronous code like never
before!</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>When you’re creating a new View to display some complex data, it’s easy for the number of View objects you’re using to get out of control. Between elaborate shapes, shaders/colors, and text in specific places and orientations, using only Android Views and layouts can turn your layout into a dense, complicated mess. Luckily, there’s a better way to add all your customizations. What you need is a blank Canvas! (Literally, android.graphics.Canvas).</p>
<p>In this session, we’ll delve into the details of using a Canvas to display anything you need in a truly custom way, explaining it all through simple examples written in Kotlin. You’ll leave this talk knowing how override the behavior of View, ViewGroup, and Drawable to draw custom shapes, paths, and text on the Canvas.</p>

<p>In this workshop, you will build a simple webservice in Kotlin and hopefully see how easy it can be to write new business functionality. No Hello, World app guaranteed! You will be developing a true microservice with real business rules. The workshop offers you to jump in at different levels: from totally new to Kotlin to the more experienced ones. The covered topics are (data) classes, collections and types (type alias), inheritance, interfaces and extension functions, coroutines and Kotlin’s interoperability with Spring.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Kotlin is a practical language designed for the JVM. It focuses on pragmatism and safety, with an emphasis on interoperability and tool support. Kotlin is statically typed and includes null checks in the type system itself. The language runs anywhere Java does, from microservices to Android apps. This workshop will show how to use Kotlin to simplify anything you originally planned to do in Java.</p>
<p>Kotlin combines object-oriented programming with functional features like lambda expressions, functional types, and data classes. Since it comes from JetBrains, the company that produces the IntelliJ IDEA development environment, it’s tool support is excellent. IntelliJ even provides a Java-to-Kotlin converter to help you get started.</p>
<p>This presentation will cover the basic types, defining and calling functions, programming with lambdas, higher order functions, and DSLs. The goal is to give you enough background to be productive while you continue to learn and grow with the language.</p>

<p>Kotlin is een programmeertaal die steeds populairder wordt. Het gebruik neemt exponentieel toe: zowel bij apps als bij serverside applicaties. Frontend Kotlin wordt langzamerhand ook opgepakt. Nu (sinds Kotlin 1.2) is Kotlin multiplatform aangekondigd en is dit beschikbaar om mee te experimenteren.</p>
<p>De filosofie is als volgt: schrijf applicaties voor web, desktop, backend, Android en iOS in dezelfde taal en deel de code tussen de apps. Dit heeft meerdere voordelen, waarvan we de meeste tijdens deze Techday gaan bespreken. We willen natuurlijk vooraan staan bij deze nieuwe ontwikkelingen!</p>

<p>Developing for multiple platforms is expensive and requires multiple disciplines. Kotlin Multiplatform provides a sane, cheap, and fast method to target multiple environments with the same codebase. Leveraging direct compilation to target environments, Kotlin Multiplatform can save you time and money sharing your business logic between your target platforms. By using a common build tool, you also save considerable learning costs typically associated with writing platform native code. In this talk, we will explore these possibilities and demonstrate how a single multiplatform project can be deployed to multiple target environments.</p>

<p>Dependency Injection seems like this SUPER complex topic that only the most senior developers understand. At the end of the day, it’s just “inversion of control” where instances of objects/classes are provided to you, instead of created by you. Kotlin’s language features allow us to do this concisely, without a library, and in this talk I’ll show you how to DO IT YOURSELF. This talk will demystify dependency injection and help you understand the huge benefits it provides for testing, maintainability and modularity.</p>

<p>Kotlin is a booming language. Its usage is skyrocketing in both apps and serverside applications. Frontend Kotlin is also emerging. And now (since Kotlin 1.2) Kotlin multiplatform has been announced and is currently in experimental. The philosophy: Write web, desktop, backend, Android and iOS apps in the same language and share code between your apps.
<p>There are lots of advantages to this, many of which will be discussed during this Techday. Of course, we want to be at the front of this new development!</p>
<p>So software developers, come and play. You will be supplied with a working base project, the knowledge to use it and lots of sparring partners and will build an application during the hands-on.</p>

<p>One of the most successful multiplatform technologies is JVM, however, mobile platforms gave us new challenges, which nobody solved yet in a decent way.</p>
<p>In this talk, we'll show you current possibilities of sharing Kotlin code between Android and iOS. It is quite new technology, so a lot of possibilities are open to you, not only for creating new apps in Kotlin but inventing new popular cross-platform libraries and we'll show how to achieve it as well. And for the talk final, we'll share some future possibilities about making a fullstack application using Kotlin and having common code between backend, frontend, and mobile apps. As part of the whole talk we will take a look into Kotlin/Native basics as it's default backend for iOS apps.</p>

<p>Kotlin has taken the Android world by storm, and is quickly becoming the most popular language, with coroutines approaching stability, does it make sense to replace your RxJava implementations for Coroutines?</p>
<p>Despite the hype, it may not make sense to jump on the bandwagon just yet, with RxJava having already proven its stability and usefulness, and in many cases the comparison between the two frameworks showing that they simply fit different purposes.</p>
<p>In this talk, you can learn how you can utilise the strengths of each framework, how to correctly choose the best solution for the requirements of your project, whether it may be beneficial to migrate or run them concurrently, and how you can start doing so for your project.</p>

<p>This talk will give an overview of Kotlin's approach to coroutines and how they help you structure your code.</p>

        <subject>A Fresh Approach to Compiling JVM Languages with Fury</subject>
        <url>https://www.meetup.com/krakow-kotlin/events/256540817/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Java and Scala's open-source ecosystem faces several challenges. Writing and maintaining build configurations is too difficult, and publishing is even harder, coming with additional friction of having to support an increasing multiplicity of targets targets.</p>
<p>But worse, this workflow puts a burden on a few key people in the open-source community to publish their libraries quickly so that their downstream users can publish theirs, and it can take months for some projects to be published. How is it that the multi-billion-dollar industry has become so dependent on so few people?</p>
<p>I will introduce Fury, a fast, source-based dependency manager and build tool for JVM-based languages which aspires to radically disrupt the ecosystem for the better. Fury defines builds as static data, not code, making reasoning about them simple and fast. Fury facilitates a new, distributed and version-controlled ecosystem where publishing is as simple as tagging a signed commit. And builds can be external to projects, so there's no need to impose Fury upon any existing developers who are happy with their current build setup.</p>
<p>The utopia we are striving for is a new, fluid and versatile ecosystem in which developers are liberated to publish more easily and frequently, and where it becomes easier for anyone to make contributions to open-source projects.</p>

<p>Many apps began adopting Kotlin and Android Architecture Components atthe same time. While ostensibly quite different, the interplay of these two changes ends up heavily influencing each other.</p>
<p>Plaid is an open source example of material design concepts. It has a complex functionality but had a large amount of technical debt. We took the challenge of refactoring the app, following the Android Guide to App Architecture, while simultaneously converting the app to Kotlin—while keeping the existing functionality, fixing broken API integrations and adding new ones.</p>
<p>The Guide to App Architecture provided a good starting point for creating lean, isolated classes. Kotlin features like delegates, high order functions and lambdas, sealed classes and others, end up shaping much of the architecture of the app. This talk covers the architecture lessons learned while converting Plaid to Kotlin and integrating Architecture Components.</p>

<p>Kotlin was on the market for a while when Google announced its official support in Android over one year ago. This announcement consolidated an already rich user base and brought new enthusiasm to the language making it a de-facto standard tool for Android development.</p>
<p>Kotlin supports both the object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. Even more, its support for high-order functions, extension functions, scoping functions, lambdas, and immutable values can revolutionize the way Android apps get developed.</p>
<p>In Kotlin you define a function with the fun keyword, and I have to say it, no better choice for a language keyword!</p>
<p>During this talk, I will show you all the peculiarities of Kotlin's functions and drive you through the transformation that you can apply to an existing Android code base and make it functional, testable, and, even more, easy to read.</p>

<p>Les coroutines, c'est stable depuis quelques jours dans Kotlin 1.3, mais ça fait depuis la version 1.1 que des gens se sont fait les dents dessus avec la version expérimentale, qui a fait des merveilles en production ! Dans Android, il y a un tas de callbacks et d'événements asynchrones, ce qui conduit facilement au plus bas de l'enfer : les callback hells. Un callback hell, c'est une pâte à base de vieux spaghettis collants, que vous devez manger à chaque fois que vous remettez des pâtes pour rajouter des fonctionnalités ou effectuer de la maintenance. Certains diététiciens préconisent de transformer ça en jolis streams de spaghettis en passant à la programmation réactive, mais cela demande beaucoup d'effort quand il s'agit d'arrondir les coins pour faire un cercle. Entre temps, les chercheurs de chez JetBrains et leurs disciples ont mis au point des pâtes qui se cuisinent beaucoup plus facilement dans tous les sens : les coroutines. Sans métaphore, les coroutines permettent d'avoir un code asynchrone et séquentiel en même temps. Dans cette session de live coding, vous verrez comment il est possible avec moins de code de faire plein de choses routinières, comme accéder à une base de données Room hors du main thread, filmer avec l'API Camera2 en 5 lignes de code (dont 4 lignes pour le try/catch), faire des appels à une API/webservice, et attendre n'importe quel callback sans jamais attaquer la lisibilité de votre code.</p>

<p>Asynchronous programming has always been a challenging problem for Android developers. Any good solution has to gracefully handle errors, cancellation, chaining multiple actions together, handle thread swapping, and much more.</p>
<p>Kotlin’s coroutines are yet another option for asynchronous programming. However, unlike other popular contenders, coroutines meet all the previously mentioned requirements out-of-the-box, have a gentler learning curve, and don’t require you to write an absurd amount of boilerplate.</p>
<p>That said, learning any new asynchronous solution takes time and often comes with a period of trial-and-error until you have all the nuances figured out. Get a jumpstart on coroutines:</p>
<p>(1) Lessen the learning curve by getting the subtleties of coroutines out of the way early
(2) Learn how to work coroutines into an existing app: easy places to start transitioning, interop with existing libraries, and reusing existing threading constructs
(3) Learn how to easily support error handling, cancellation, and task chaining
(4) Learn how to unit test coroutines</p>
<p>Get a head start on coroutines in your apps and easily write, test, and maintain asynchronous code like never before!</p>

<p>In this talk, we will look at how you should not do things with Kotlin. For example, we will talk about misusing scoping functions like “let”, “run”, “apply”, etc. and learn the right time to use which one while not overusing them. We will also talk about interoperability between Kotlin and Java. We will look at how not to do things when building APIs that may be consumed in Java – things like top-level constant declaration vs constants within companion objects, making use Jvm* annotations in Kotlin vs not using them.</p>
<p>We will also talk about platform types and the potential harm they pose when calling Java code from Kotlin. We will also address another commonly overlooked topic – the fact that Kotlin encourages a new paradigm of programming where you’re not thinking in terms of steps (imperative) but rather, in terms of functions applied to parameters (functional programming) and we still find ourselves doing things the wrong way.</p>

<p>When you’re creating a new View to display some complex data, it’s easy for the number of View objects you’re using to get out of control. Between elaborate shapes, shaders/colors, and text in specific places and orientations, using only Android Views and layouts can turn your layout into a dense, complicated mess. Luckily, there’s a better way to add all your customizations. What you need is a blank Canvas! (Literally, android.graphics.Canvas).</p>
<p>In this session, we’ll delve into the details of using a Canvas to display anything you need in a truly custom way, explaining it all through simple examples written in Kotlin. You’ll leave this talk knowing how override the behavior of View, ViewGroup, and Drawable to draw custom shapes, paths, and text on the Canvas.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>When you’re creating a new View to display some complex data, it’s easy for the number of View objects you’re using to get out of control. Between elaborate shapes, shaders/colors, and text in specific places and orientations, using only Android Views and layouts can turn your layout into a dense, complicated mess. Luckily, there’s a better way to add all your customizations. What you need is a blank Canvas! (Literally, android.graphics.Canvas).</p>
<p>In this session, we’ll delve into the details of using a Canvas to display anything you need in a truly custom way, explaining it all through simple examples written in Kotlin. You’ll leave this talk knowing how override the behavior of View, ViewGroup, and Drawable to draw custom shapes, paths, and text on the Canvas.</p>

<p>Kotlin Native, with the ability to produce iOS code, was announced at KotlinConf 2017. With rapid progress on the runtime and tools, and intense community interest, several major architectural libraries have been released. KotlinConf 2018 will definitely see significant releases both, in both libraries and tools, and likely an official v1 of Kotlin Native.</p>
<p>2019 will be the year of significant application releases with a shared architectural base, powered by Kotlin multiplatform. This talk will be about the framework, how it compares (favorably) to other options, the current state of the ecosystem, and where developers eager to get involved in significant open source contributions can get started.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Asynchronous programming is on the rise. Modern software systems are connected and constantly communicating. Programming languages are adding some form of asynchronous programming like async/await. However, Kotlin had taken a fresh approach to this problem with Kotlin Coroutines.</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll study various approaches to asynchronous programming, their evolution, differences and similarities. We’ll see the problem with the traditional async/await approach that is based on futures/promises and how the Kotlin’s solution that is based on concepts of coroutines and continuations is giving us safer and easier programming model.</p>

<p>This workshop covers asynchronous programming in Kotlin using coroutines. It starts with basics of asynchronous programming and its differences from blocking code and introduces concepts of suspending functions and coroutines. Dealing with the ecosystem of blocking code on JVM is covered in depth as well as best practices for managing cancellation of asynchronous operations. The workshop also covers more advanced topics of concurrent decomposition of work via futures, deep dive into coroutine contexts and includes an overview of Communication Sequential Process (CSP) approach and channels.</p>

<p>Microservice architecture is now a huge trend. All big organizations with millions of users are doing microservices. This means they have lots of channels of communication between services and need to send and get much data. At some point, you can find yourself in a situation where your current approach doesn’t provide you with efficient communications, you pay more, wait for more, lose more etc. Maybe it’s time to look at gRPC… In this talk, we will cover the basics of gRPC, protocol buffers, and its usage. We will try to understand its pros and cons and where this approach could be used. We will also compare this approach with the alternatives. The most interesting about this talk is that we will have lots of practice. We will learn how to write .proto files, how to make effective communication between your microservices, and of course, write much code (in Kotlin)</p>

<p>In early 2018 I ran a survey of the global Kotlin ecosystem. My goal was to learn how developers use and adopt Kotlin - either in work or side projects, or just for playing around, and what are some of the most popular resources for learning it. The survey was a great success, and gained over 2000 responses in total! The results are meant to become a resource for the Kotlin community. Something we can all look at for interesting insights that will also help drive adoption of Kotlin in our teams and organisations. To give you a taster, here’s a few questions I asked in the survey: How big is Android as a proportion of all Kotlin developers Are people happy naming libraries and tooling with K What are the favourite features of the language What kind of DSLs are people building with Kotlin and for what use-cases In my talk will answer all these questions, and more. But be warned, some answers might surprise you.</p>

<p>This talk is devoted to using Kotlin to share code between Android and iOS. It also covers Kotlin features and evolution making this possible and convenient. Kotlin Multiplatform Programming is a technology for multiplatform programming in Kotlin. It supports combining both common and platform-specific code in a single codebase with proper tooling enabled. Kotlin/Native is a technology for compiling Kotlin code to native binaries. Kotlin code has seamless interoperability with native platform (e.g. iOS) in this case. The speaker will describe how Kotlin/Native works, what is supported and what is not.</p>

<p>В отличие от классического многопоточного программирования с манипулированием разделяемой памятью, корутины общаются друг с другом при помощи каналов. Канал позволяет одной корутине отправить элемент, а другой — получить его. При этом данные операции могут быть синхронизированы, и отправитель может ждать получателя и наоборот.</p>
<p>В этом докладе мы поговорим об устройстве каналов в различных языках и библиотеках, о разработанном в Kotlin алгоритме и узнаем, кто круче: Kotlin или Go.</p>

<p>Знаете ли вы, что внутри ваших .class-файлов? А готовы поспорить? Давайте повеселимся, исследуя конструкции байт-кода, и изучим, как различные компиляторы (Java/Kotlin) и их версии, включая недавно выпущенный javac 11, преобразуют ваш исходный код.</p>
p>Наши исследования будут основаны на деталях реализации самого популярного инструмента для анализа покрытия Java-кода тестами — JaCoCo, чья недавно выпущенная версия находит в байт-коде и отфильтровывает вспомогательные конструкции, генерируемые компиляторами, которые в противном случае требуют зачастую сложных и ненужных ухищрений, чтобы добиться полного покрытия кода.</p>

<p>Kotlin is a marvelous language that makes programming on the JVM fun again. During the design phase of the language, it was said that Kotlin specifically tried to avoid some of the most famous Java Puzzlers. However, having so many advanced features, it cannot avoid introducing puzzlers of its own. This talk will present some of the more interesting nuances of syntax or language features with the help of small puzzler programs letting the audience guess their behavior. The mystery will then be revealed with an explanation in a fun way.</p>
<p>Having received an overwhelmingly good feedback from the previous version, Anton is ready with a set of completely new puzzlers to entertain you among all these really serious talks!</p>

<p>This talk's main topic is how you can use Kotlin to share code between Android and iOS. We will also cover Kotlin platform development trends that make this easy and possible.</p>
<p>Kotlin Multiplatform Programming technology allows you to combine common and platform-specific code in a single codebase while also supporting tooling for this kind of development model. We'll see how this looks and discuss why it should be like this and not the other way around.</p>
<p>Kotlin/Native technology allows you to compile Kotlin into native code while also giving you an option to interact seamlessly with native platform (iOS, for example). We'll discuss what, why and how does (and does not) work.</p>

<p>What options do you have for testing your code in Kotlin? Some people will probably just jump straight to JUnit as a testing framework, but did you know you that Spek offers an alternative approach with a domain specific language (DSL) for tests? Your choice of tools doesn't stop here. You have alternative assertion libraries, mocking frameworks and more that are different from what you may be used to in Java. The builder pattern is also even simpler in Kotlin, which make creating test data builders work like a charm. We will look at these topics and more! With examples ranging from small utility classes to integration tests with Spring.</p>

<p>A few months ago we were looking through a gift guide and saw one of those nice-looking, real-time Subway signs that you put on a coffee table or a bookshelf. We decided to get one, then saw the price (+$300) and thought, "Wait a minute, we're pretty sure we can just build this for less money." So after grabbing one of the many Raspberry Pis lying around the office, and with Kotlin as the weapon of choice, we embarked on a new project: Your own personal subway sign for (way) under $300.</p>

<p>Ryan will describe how Kotlin has gone from a hackathon experiment to the language of choice for backend service development at N26. He will present thoughtful strategies on how to build adoption based on learnings from false-starts introducing other languages to the stack. And with a bottoms-up approach, Kotlin eventually advanced into his firm's Android applications. N26 is now an active member in the Kotlin community in Europe and is focused on applying emerging features such as coroutines to their event driven systems.</p>
