<p>Although it’s initial promises, when we talk about performance, maintainability or even customization we keep discarding these solutions and we always choose native.
Fast forward to the present, and now we have two new languages: Android is Kotlin first and iOS, Swift. And if you put them side by side you can see a lot of similarities between both what will ease switching between one to the other if you have to develop for both platforms. But what I told that you could just develop in Kotlin and run it seamlessly on all devices?
Here comes Kotlin Multiplatform!</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>So you’ve seen the blog posts and conference talks about Kotlin Multiplatform. Maybe you’ve put together a hello world. You might have found the experience confusing, with lots of new configuration to learn, and many out-of-date examples.</p>
<p>At Touchlab, we created a template project called KaMPKit to ease startup time and get to prototyping real features faster. It’s given us a platform to prototype ideas quickly, and has been a model for integrating shared Kotlin code into real production apps. And best of all, you can use it too!</p>
<p>We’ll talk about the structure of KaMPKit, and the architectural choices we made in developing it. You’ll learn about the libraries involved and how you can use them. And we’ll talk through some actual examples of projects Touchlab has built from this template. With any luck, our production experience can help inform yours!</p>

        <subject>Building Reactive Web-Apps in Pure Kotlin</subject>
        <url>https://www.meetup.com/kotlin-berlin/events/bcvtkrybchbcc/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Using Flows from the great kotlinx.coroutines you can quickly build entirely reactive web-apps in just pure Kotlin.</p>
<p>This gives you many benefits like using the same language (and concepts) for front- and backend-development, reusing the code of your data-classes and validation, staying with a toolchain you are already productive with, etc.</p>
<p>Of course, you could use any of the many JavaScript UI-libs with Kotlin/JS, but they are not designed to be used with Kotlin, and it is not always easy to use the full potential of Kotlin when doing so.</p>
<p>Although it is not much code necessary, we bundled what you need to build reactive web-apps in a clean, functional way in a small lib called fritz2 (https://www.fritz2.dev).</p>
<p>In this talk, we will introduce you to the concepts this is based on. We will show you how to set up a Kotlin/JS-project using fritz2 and build a small app to demonstrate how to make reusable components, handle your applications state, use precise data binding, routing, validation and more.</p>

<p>Kotlin se ha convertido en el lenguaje por defecto para desarrollar apps en Android. El objetivo de esta charla es instruir a Android Developers o cualquiera con interés en Kotlin a desarrollar Azure Functions escritas en Kotlin con el fin de poder tener una arquitectura serverless usando el mismo lenguaje tanto en el cliente (Android) como en el backend. Al final de la charla, el espectador podrá escribir y subir Functions a Azure en Kotlin usando herramientas ya conocidas como el IDE IntelliJ.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>In the latest years, there has been some push-back against frameworks, and more specifically annotations: some call them magic. Obviously, they make understanding the flow of the application harder.</p>
<p>Spring and Spring Boot latest versions go along this trend, by offering an additional way to configure beans with explicit code instead of annotations. It’s declarative in the sense it looks like configuration, though it’s based on Domain-Specific Language(s). This talk aims to demo a step-by-step process to achieve that.</p>

<p>Based on the gained knowledge of the first talk Urs Peter will show you how easy it is to apply Coroutines in Spring Boot using live-coding. Staring out with a simple rest service he will transform a CompletableFuture based endpoint into a Coroutine counterpart. He will rebuild a ServerSentEvent stream endpoint written with Reactor’s Flux with a Kotlin Flow and show you how Channels can be applied to broadcast information between Flows. He will finally explain how existing CompletableFuture or Flux/Mono based api’s can easily be ‘lifted’ into Coroutines allowing different reactive libraries to be used in a straightforward synchronous way without losing their asynchronous, non-blocking characteristics.</p>

<p>Asynchronous data stream management is hard. Implementing a simple feature requires taking long-running operations off the UI thread, making asynchronous calls to different data sources, combining, mapping, filtering the data and switching back to the UI thread to update the UI. In TransferWise for a long time we used rxJava to solve these problems, but recently we started migrating our Android app to Kotlin Coroutines. Talk covers the basics of Kotlin Coroutines and end-to-end feature development showcase.</p>

<p>We are excited to invite you to a Kotlin meetup kindly hosted by the Zalando Tech Hub in Dortmund. Kotlin is mostly known as the go-to language for Android development. But it is also great as a more convenient alternative to Java for developing backend services. We at Zalando use Kotlin in both environments and our team has been developing Kotlin backend services at the core of our platform for more than 2 years now.</p>

<p>Если вы писали многопоточный код, то знаете, что сложно написать его корректно сразу. Для тестирования обычно пишут стресс-тесты, покрывающие лишь некоторые опасные сценарии исполнения. Но часто для поиска ошибки такого подхода оказывается недостаточно. Для решения этой проблемы был создан lincheck — пока единственный инструмент в мире JVM, позволяющий удобно тестировать корректность (обычно линеаризуемость) многопоточного кода.</p>
<p>Сперва в докладе будет описано использование инструмента, затем его внутреннее устройство.</p>

<p>Justin Elliss (senior mobile dev, occasional manager, full-stack tech guy) is going to present an introduction to life, the universe, and everything in coroutines. As mobile engineers, we really enjoy having a good UI experience, and the key to that is sending work off to other threads to actually do the work. One of the best ways to do this is through kotlin coroutines, and in this presentation we’ll explore what they are (life), how they compare to rxjava, their main competitor (the universe), and having them do (everything) that takes time.</p>

✔️ Pokażę również trochę bytecode’u JVM generowanego przez kompilator Kotlina, aby lepiej wyjaśnić w jaki sposób zaimplementowane zostały wybrane funkcjonalności języka.
✔️ Będzie również sporo o kotlin.collections, ponieważ oferują wiele udogodnień, których zdecydowanie brakuje w Java Collections Freamework.
✔️ Wreszcie zadamy sobie pytanie: Will Java ever catch up with the ketchup? – Java nie śpi i już teraz adresuje rosnącą konkurencję ze strony the new kid on the block jakim jest Kotlin. Przekonamy się czy skutecznie.”</p>

            <![CDATA[
<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… gRPC is asynchronous by its nature. But old api, java infrastructure and verbosity make people write lots of noise and break their beautiful minds to make things done. In Kotlin we have awesome coroutines concept. So async gRPC and coroutines could be a perfect match! Let’s discover if this is possible. In this talk, we’ll learn how to build microservices using gRPC with minimum pain. We’ ll discuss the pros and cons of this approach, what can be improved, what should be added.</p>

<p>Passend dazu wollen wir einen Mini Hackaton in Kotlin machen. Wir werden uns in Pairs und Mobs aufteilen und gemeinsam eine Lösung für das Contest Game in Kotlin entwickeln. Egal ob Kotlin Experte oder absoluter Neuanfänger, alle können Ihren Teil beitragen und sind herzlich eingeladen mitzumachen.</p>
<p>Nach Möglichkeit bitte einen Laptop mitbringen. Wer mag kann Kotlin + JDK + IDE der Wahl vorinstallieren, das ist aber kein muss, es funktioniert auch alles im Browser ohne Installation! Wer keinen Laptop hat schließt sich einfach einem Pair oder einem Mob an.</p>

<p>Eine Liebesgeschichte über meine Kotlin Programmiererfahrung - mit Happyend. Neueinsteiger werden erfahren, welchen Mehrwert die Kotlin Programmierung mit sich bringt und warum sie sogar Spaß macht. Veteranen dürfen sich dabei zurückerinnern, warum sie von der Sprache nicht wieder wegwollen und wie sie Ihre Kollegen davon überzeugen. Dabei werde ich auch auf die drei großen Themen Coroutinen, Kotlin Native & Kotlin Multiplatform eingehen. Ein knackiger Einstieg mit vielen Beispielen, nach dem garantiert jeder Entwickler zur IDE greifen möchte.</p>

<p>We are excited to invite you to a Kotlin meetup kindly hosted by the Zalando Tech Hub in Dortmund. Kotlin is mostly known as the go-to language for Android development. But it is also great as a more convenient alternative to Java for developing backend services. We at Zalando use Kotlin in both environments and our team has been developing Kotlin backend services at the core of our platform for more than 2 years now.</p>

<p>Is your team using lambdas? Do you hear your backend developers talking about serverless applications? Curious to learn more? If so, this talk is for you. Effective serverless architectures require less backend code, less complexity, less risk, and less tech debt. But how is that possible? This talk aims to answer that question for you.
We'll cover:
* What is serverless
* When might you use it, and
* How can you develop a serverless app with Kotlin
Serverless application design is becoming more and more prevalent. Now is the time to understand this powerful shift in backend development, simply.</p>

<p>In this talk, Mohit will present on how to use constructs such as actors, channels and flows in various use cases. These use cases are modeling streams that are hot or cold, multicasting, polling, handling errors and testing. A Channel is similar to a blocking queue or a subject from RxJava. There are different types of channels that fit different use cases. On the other hand, a Flow represents a cold stream. We’ll look at how they work and thier APIs for consuming and producing a stream. I also cover how to go by testing your code using the coroutines testing library that is provided. I’ll share various helper extensions that you could use to improve your testing. By the end of this talk, you will have expanded your toolset for solving problems using Coroutines.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Everyone was crazy about annotation processing, but then Kotlin started to appear on the horizon. With Kotlin growing up, developers began to back away from annotation processing gradually, mainly due to its performance issues and the new Kotlin features that were able to replace it in some of the cases. But developers could not get away from it 100% - there were, and are plenty of scenarios when their coexistence with Kotlin is still required. In my talk, I am going to introduce you to how to write and test annotation processors that behave well even in Kotlin projects.</p>

<p>Kotlin hat Java unter Android als bevorzugte Sprache abgelöst. Auch im klassischen Backend gewinnt die moderne, funktionale Programmiersprache immer mehr Freunde. Besonders interessant ist aber, dass Kotlin auch für den Bau nativer iOS-Apps verwendet werden kann. Wie das funktioniert, wird in diesem Talk auf entwicklerfreundliche Weise dargestellt. Sie erfahren, was genau Kotlin/Native eigentlich ist, worauf man bei der Benutzung achten sollte, was schon gut klappt und was (noch) nicht. Anhand einer kleinen, aber vollständigen App werden wichtige Vorgehensweisen und Konzepte vorgestellt</p>

<p>Unit Testing in Kotlin macht Spaß und ist gleichzeitig knifflig. Wir können stark von Kotlins mächtigen Sprachfeatures profitieren und damit lesbare und kompakte Unit Tests schreiben. Aber um überhaupt idiomatischen Kotlin-Testcode zu schreiben, benötigen wir ein bestimmtes Test-Setup.</p>
<p>Dieser Talk behandelt das nötige Wissen um Test Lifecycles, die Handhabung von Test Fixtures, die Herausforderungen beim Mocken, gute Assertion Libraries und die Mächtigkeit von Hilfsfunktionen und Data Classes. Anhand von Anekdoten aus der Praxis werden Best Practices präsentiert, mit denen wir Testcode schreiben, der idiomatisch, lesbar und kompakt ist und dabei sinnvolle Fehlermeldungen ausgibt.</p>

Darüber hinaus zeigt er Schritt für Schritt die Migration eines bestehenden Android-Projekts von Groovy nach Kotlin. In dieser Migration werden wir uns die Vor- und Nachteile der Kotlin DSL genauer ansehen und die Eignung für reale Projekte diskutieren.</p>

<p>In diesem Vortrag lernen Sie mit »Server as a Function« sowie »Function as a Service« (FaaS) gleich zwei interessante Konzepte kennen und finden heraus, wie beides miteinander kombiniert werden kann. Wir wollen uns das http4k Toolkit ansehen Möglichkeiten kennenlernen, funktionale HTTP-Services mit Kotlin umzusetzen. In einem nächsten Schritt schauen wir uns an, wie http4k-Anwendungen in einer FaaS-Umgebung eingesetzt werden können. Wir nutzen dazu OpenFaaS, ein Open-Source Serverless-Framework welches auf Kubernetes betrieben wird. Das Ziel wird sein, http4k-Anwendungen als FaaS auf dieser Plattform einzusetzen. Abschließend wird gezeigt, wie die vorgestellten Technologien im Unternehmen des Referenten eingesetzt werden und wie sie genutzt werden, um eine Integrationsplattform für ein SaaS-Produkt zu schaffen.</p>

<p>Domain Specific Languages eignen sich seit jeher, komplexe Codestrukturen besser lesbar auszudrücken. Dabei unterstützen sie die Vermeidung redundanten Codes und reduzieren den Blick auf die wesentlichen Aspekte der Domäne. Der Vorteil interner DSLs gegenüber externen ist, dass sie sich direkt in einer Host-Programmiersprache entwickeln lassen. Kotlin bietet dafür mit seinen kompakten Sprachmitteln eine ideale Basis. Dieser Talk zeigt anhand konkreter Codebeispiele die Grundlagen zur Erstellung eigener DSLs mit Kotlin.</p>

<p>Mit Koroutinen lässt sich Nebenläufigkeit in Kotlin einfach und gut strukturiert abbilden. Nebenläufigen Code zu Testen ist jedoch nicht ganz einfach, und basiert oft auf Überwachung mit Timeouts. Das Coroutine Testing Package macht das Testen von Koroutinen leichter. Über Test-Dispatcher und -Scopes ermöglicht es Kontrolle über die Ausführung von Koroutinen, die dediziert angehalten und weiter ausgeführt werden können. Zeitliche Abläufe können ohne unnötiges Warten kontrolliert werden. Dieser Talk gibt einen Einblick in die Möglichkeiten des Coroutine Testing Package.</p>

<p>Kotlin has many features that are leaps and bounds ahead of Java. However, its primary target platform being the JVM, all of these features still need to compile to the same bytecode as Java does. This is a look at how a variety of interesting Kotlin features are compiled to bytecode, and what their Java equivalents would be. Even though Kotlin abstracts away much of the virtual machine and the original feature set of Java with its own features, it’s still important to know what your Kotlin code compiles to. Not only can this knowledge give you the power to optimize your code, but it will also help you avoid subtle bugs that would otherwise be near impossible to track down.</p>

<p>Kotlin und Arrow, eine Kombination zum Schweben auf der Cloud. Anstatt uns durch den objektorientierten Dschungel von Schichten und Klassen zu kämpfen, können wir die Ausdrucksstärke des funktionalen Programmierens nutzen. Über dem Wirrwarr sind wir endlich frei, uns auf die Business-Logik zu konzentrieren. Wir erhalten kurzen und eleganten Code, der besser zu testen und verständlicher ist. Als Bonus ist die Verwendung von reactive-Techniken und Parallelisierung praktisch geschenkt. In der Session werden wir auch noch einmal das funktionale Paradigma betrachten. Anschließend steigen Sie im Live Coding voll in den funktionalen Entwurf ein und entwickeln eine kleine Spring-Boot-App. Natürlich funktional!</p>

<p>The larger our software becomes, the harder it is to manage. It’s also likely we have some tightly coupled code that is really hard to test. This is where dependency injection comes in.</p>
<p>Regardless of skill level, building modular and testable code is highly sought after by employers. Dependency injection helps us reduce coupling, and increases testability.</p>
<p>With Koin, Kotlin developers have an incredibly flexible and easy-to-use library that makes using dependency injection a breeze. Join us as we cover what dependency injection is all about, and why you should be looking at Koin as a Kotlin developer.</p>

<p>Kotlin has many flavors. Kotlin/JVM became very popular among Android developers - it's first choice language for Android projects. Kotlin/JS allows writing code for browser and Kotlin/Native compiles to native code, interoperable with C++. That allows targeting iOS devices while writing mobile applications. But do we actually can use only one language for all major platforms?</p>
<p>During the presentation we will show multi and cross platform mobile technologies. We will see how Kotlin/Native works in mobile applications and we will discuss possibilities of that environment.</p>

<p>Multiplatform Kotlin facilitates code-sharing by making platform-agnostic portions of the standard library available in common code that is written once but can run on any target. As Multiplatform development really starts to take off over the next year, there must also be a robust ecosystem of third party libraries available to application developers.</p>
<p>I’ll talk through what it looks like to create such a library, with lessons from my experiences building one of the early libraries in the mobile Multiplatform space. We'll talk about how to find shared abstractions around different platform APIs, how to handle the fast-paced evolution of this environment, and what this all felt like as a first-time library developer. When we're done, you’ll be ready to leverage the growing ecosystem as well as make your own contributions.</p>

<p>Dès le départ, Kotlin a été conçu pour être déployable dans divers contextes et plateformes: back et front, JVM, JS et natif.
Dans un de nos derniers projets web, nous avons profité de cette caractéristique pour utiliser Kotlin au maximum, dans toutes les couches de notre application.
Nous détaillerons l'architecture de ce projet lors de cette présentation, et comment nous avons utilisé des librairies multiplateformes pour partager du code entre le serveur et le navigateur.
Les librairies et projets utilisés sont:
- xodus-dnq, pour définir le modèle de données et accéder à la base xodus,
- Ktor comme framework web,
- Kotlinx.hmtl pour le templating html, serveur et client,
- Kotlinx.serialization pour le partage d’état entre le serveur et le client,
- Kotlin/JS et une implémentation interne de Redux pour le code client.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Your Kotlin app grabs data from an API, transforms it and saves the processed data in a database. However, there are so many things that could go wrong at runtime: the API might be inaccessible, the data is not what you expected or the data can't be persisted in the database. You can start adding `try` `catch` blocks to your function in your objects, but there is a better way to do it: treat your impure functions as computations with context, pass them around just like other values, and make the necessary unsafe invocation from a single point of your app, your main function. This talk will walk you through the core functional concepts of Arrow, you will learn how `Some`, `Either` and even `IO` are functor, applicative and monad. You can use the code example from this talk as a starting point for your Arrow-learning, to write safer, simpler and more elegant functional code in Kotlin.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>We all know that rewrites are bad, but sometimes necessary. For example, imagine you “forgot” to publish an update for your app in last 4 years. This is exactly the case of one of my apps with around 500 000 downloads and very happy users. They deserve an update !! Don’t you think ??</p>
<p>Since the code that I wrote years back looks so bad and ugly I decided to completely revamp the android app and backend. Moreover, the goal was to create an iOS app and a web client.</p>
<p>In this session we talk about Kotlin Multiplatform and how it works if you want to build your Backend, Android, iOS, web client and share as much code as possible.</p>

<p>The “Structured concurrency” paradigm promises to make concurrency, which is one of the most difficult and error-prone aspects of software, safer and more efficient. It’s a new and intriguing concept which, nonetheless, already found its way into multiple programming languages. Most notably, it’s integrated into the Kotlin Coroutines framework.</p>
<p>In this talk I’ll explain what structured concurrency is based on a specific example from my own multithreading library, where I accidentally and unknowingly reinvented this paradigm.</p>

<p>In the latest years, there has been some push-back against frameworks, and more specifically annotations: some call them magic. Obviously, they make understanding the flow of the application harder.</p>
<p>Spring and Spring Boot latest versions go along this trend, by offering an additional way to configure beans with explicit code instead of annotations. It’s declarative in the sense it looks like configuration, though it’s based on Domain-Specific Language(s). This talk aims to demo a step-by-step process to achieve that.</p>

<p>With Kotlin we are able to write concise, expressive and safe code. Sounds like clean code, doesn’t it? During this presentation we will recap what clean code is, we will also highlight the importance of defining meaningful names, how should we write the functions and classes and how to express data in abstract terms. Finally, we will be able to learn more about the advantages of immutability and how to handle the errors in Kotlin. By the end of the session, you will have a better understanding of what clean code means, and you will learn a series of tips and tricks ready to be applied in your code. “Coding is not a sprint, is a marathon” so join my session and let’s exercise together our clean code skills.</p>

<p>A lot of us will agree that Kotlin is an awesome language – but have you ever thought about experimenting with the Kotlin Compiler? This talk explores how to set up your development environment, add, remove or change language features, get feedback from the community and get your suggestions merged.</p>
<p>You will get to know how to set up IntelliJ for working on different parts of the compiler in the Kotlin repo and learn how the compiler is structured and the different compilation phases. After looking at the structure, you will get to know how to modify existing language features such and how to add a language keyword to Kotlin. In the end, we will look at different ways of bringing your changes to the Kotlin programming language!</p>
<p>You will leave this talk with a solid grasp of Kotlin Compiler’s mechanisms and how to change things up a bit. You don’t need to know anything about compilers or Computer Science theory!</p>

<p>Users expect apps to be snappy, responsive, and jank-free. As developers, we want to use new language features and libraries. How do you make sure these new features deliver the performance users expect? In this talk, you’ll learn how to make your app shine with practical performance patterns. After this talk you’ll know how to use Android Studio profilers and the new Jetpack Benchmarking library to find and fix jank and keep it from coming back.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Modern Android apps utilize unidirectional data flow to bind a UI model object or state to a view to varying degrees. This is often done at the cost of animations however, as while MVVM and its variants are stateless, animations are inherently stateful.</p>
<p>Having stateless emissions however, is a positive thing and one of the reasons MVVM/VI/etc is loved. This talk explores this dichotomy, and describes how Kotlin delegates, along with the dynamic animations Jetpack library, are powerful tools that can easily abstract away the numerous pitfalls and nuances that come up when trying to animate stateful views from stateless emissions; allowing us to bridge the two worlds seamlessly.</p>

<p>Asynchronous programming is tricky enough. With a plethora of emerging tools to approach concurrency, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. However, the geniuses at Kotlin took a pragmatic approach by making asynchronous coding simple yet purposeful. So how do Flows, Channels, and Pipelines help you? I’ll break down the similarities and differences between each asynchronous programming technique. You will learn what each one is, but just as importantly, what each one isn’t. I’ll also present examples that show how to handle reactive streams in Kotlin and when to use Flows over Channels. Leaving this talk, you’ll feel confident knowing how to use your tool belt of asynchronous tools in Android.</p>

<p>I denne workshopen begynner vi med grunnleggende Kotlin syntaks, og jobber oss opp til mer avanserte emner med en blanding av presentasjon og praktiske oppgaver for deltakerne. Vi kommer inn på emner som funksjoner, klasser, collections, høyereordens funksjoner, og konsepter fra funksjonell programmering (ingen monader!) Etter endt workshop vil deltakerne være kjent med de mest brukte konseptene fra Kotlin, og være i stand til å ta de i bruk i sine egne prosjekter.</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>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Kotlin is great on the server: you get a modern, more usable language, with access to 25 years of tried and tested libraries that solve a lot of common engineering problems. The downside is that most of those libraries were written with Java development in mind, so using them from Kotlin can feel weirder, and less comfortable than an API written with Kotlin in mind.</p>
<p>The Java Persistence API, made famous by Hibernate, is one such library: What object type will this query return? When is it safe to persist objects? How can you tell if you’re in a transaction? These are all questions that the JPA makes really hard to answer, but with a bit of work, can become really easy to figure out in Kotlin.
In this talk, we’ll look at the Java Persistence API, and how we’ve used Kotlin’s features to make it feel like a natural Kotlin tool. You’ll come away from this talk with ideas of how to make your favourite Java libraries work better with Kotlin.</p>

<p>In the latest years, there has been some push-back against frameworks, and more specifically annotations: some call them magic. Obviously, they make understanding the flow of the application harder. Spring and Spring Boot latest versions go along this trend, by offering an additional way to configure beans with explicit code instead of annotations. It's declarative in the sense it looks like configuration, though it's based on Domain-Specific Language(s). This talk aims to demo a step-by-step process to achieve that.</p>

<p>-GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. In the GraphQL world, the schema plays a central role as it defines all the fields and types that can be queried by the clients. This makes GraphQL APIs extremely powerful as clients use this information to custom tailor their queries to only ask for the data they need.<p>
<p>Kotlin strong types and null safety makes it an excellent choice for implementing GraphQL schemas. In this talk we'll show you how graphql-kotlin can transform this potentially tedious schema generation process into a breeze. With code-only, or resolver-first, approach graphql-kotlin generates schemas directly from the source code making it the single source of truth for defining your GraphQL APIs. Using this approach, your Kotlin classes, properties and functions are mapped to corresponding GraphQL types and fields. Furthermore, since the GraphQL queries are resolved by invoking underlying Kotlin functions we can also utilize the power of Kotlin coroutines to asynchronously process all of our requests!</p>

<p>Koin, a Kotlin dependency injection framework:
Building a full application stack can be hard. You have networking components, serializers, view components, database adapters, all depending on domain components. Creating them and plugging them in correctly can be difficult. Come see how Koin can simplify your app creation and testing by providing a simple way to supply these components in your code through dependency injection.</p>

<p>Cross-platform frameworks are trending these days especially on mobile. Few of these try to support both Android and iOS platforms with a single framework, which comes with a lot of challenges due to lack of tooling support and flexibility. On the other hand, Kotlin Multiplatform allows us to share true common code across platforms and lets the platform SDKs to take care of platform specific concerns.<p>
<p>In this talk, I will walk through how Kotlin Multiplatform modules can be used to implement common code once and target different platforms like web, Android, iOS or a desktop app; what the current state of art is; And it’s limitations.</p>

<p>Rust est un langage apparu en même temps et qui a le même âge que Kotlin. Là où Kotlin révolutionnais l'applicatif, Rust révolutionne le système. Même âge, même volonté, mais routes très différentes.
Kotlin est un langage pragmatique, dont le rôle est de faciliter le travail du développeur. Rust est un langage hyper-contraint, dont le rôle est de forcer le développeur à écrire un code statiquement correct. Kotlin est un langage dont la base de développement à été la compatibilité avec le langage et les concepts java. Rust développe ses propres concepts dès le début.
Dans ce talk, nous découvrirons quelques-un des paradigmes de Rust, verrons quels enseignements nous pouvons tirer de la route qu'a emprunté ce langage, et comment profiter de ses innovations pour améliorer notre pratique de Kotlin.</p>

<p>Introducing a DSL to define assumptions that are verified during testing but have absolutely zero impact on performance in production.</p>
<p>Creating a storage engine with real-time compression has a low tolerance for defects so contract-based programming is crucial for robustness. However, performance is affected by extra runtime checks and other negative impacts such as reduced inlining due to larger functions. Find out how to eliminate these concerns with Kotlin.</p>

<p>We’ll share our takeaways from experimenting with kotlin multiplatform to implement native Android and iOS driver app for our internal mobile hackathon. We tried to make it challenging by implementing persistency, network requests and adding native map SDKs in the project, to make it a real life scenario where we’d need to have many platform specific implementations besides the shared code.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Java se v posledních letech probrala z hibernace a snaží se dohnat moderní programovací jazyky. Má ale co dohánět, takže jí to zřejmě nějakou dobu potrvá. Pokud nechcete opustit ekosystém Javy, ale samotný jazyk vám přijde na dnešní dobu poněkud neohrabaný, zkuste Kotlin - moderní programovací jazyk plně interoperabilní s Javou. Oproti Javě přináší mnohá vylepšení známá z jiných programovacích jazyků (null safety, properties, extensions, …), zároveň ale umožňuje využití existujícího Java kódu a knihoven. Kotlin je od roku 2017 oficiálním jazykem pro Android, ale stejně dobře lze použít i na dalších platformách.</p>

<p>Also known more broadly as Algebraic Data Types, they represent a constrained class hierarchy with only one possible type at the time which helps you remain compiler-safe. Sealed classes in our data layer allow semantically more correct and type-safe code in our streams. He will go through how are they constructed and some real use cases to take away with you home.</p>

<p>Have you heard of the code-sharing feature in Kotlin, accompanied with “Write once, run everywhere” slogan? Among its users not only libraries and frameworks authors; there are some projects which have already adopted multiplatform for production. Their applications, written in Kotlin for both iOS and Android, are published in stores. With this talk, you’ll get a brief overview of the evolution of multiplatform technology in Kotlin, concerning the tasks it’s evolved to solve. How it was and how it is expected to be; what has changed and which tasks can be already solved with it. What are the facilities right now and which real projects already use multiplatform?</p>

<p>Um dos pensamentos que domina a mente de muitas pessoas quando se fala de programação funcional é acreditar que o paradigma é excludente às práticas de orientação à objetos que já conhecemos. Quando, na verdade, a união dos dois pode nos trazer ainda mais vantagens. Nessa apresentação queremos desmistificar esse pensamento e mostrar que sim, é possível utilizar as duas práticas em conjunto para construir aplicações de alta qualidade. Descubra como trouxemos para dentro do DDD, design conhecido por ser extremamente orientado à objetos, elementos funcionais como Monads, Imutabilidade e Higher Order Functions, construindo um domínio 100% puro.</p>

<p>Building APIs in Java is not that exciting. That changes if you throw GraphQL and Kotlin into the mix. The great library and powerful, concise language make it easy to build a GraphQL server in a few lines of code. With co-routines and lambdas as a glue, you get a neat, scalable backend. As an icing on the cake we will also look into using Kotlins multiplatform capabilities to run our code as Javascript or Native servers.</p>

<p>Kotlin is a programming language, which is widely known for the Android platform. Kotlin is also used for server-side development. Our team has been actively working on Kotlin multiplatform for a few years, which is mainly tooling for simple sharing code between different backends, including Kotlin/JS. In this talk I’ll show you how to actually share some code between the existing JVM/Android codebase and the client code. Such code sharing is experimental stuff, so we would like to collect as much feedback as possible to implement what we lack in tooling perspective for such a promising technology.As a bonus, we will take a look at a simple full-stack application, which is completely written in Kotlin.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Kotlin coroutines have gained a lot of traction since their stabilization. They are a lightweight, elegant and convenient solution for most of the asynchronous processing tasks. Using coroutines, developers can write code solving concurrency problems without drowning in the flood of callbacks.Since coroutines were stabilized only a year ago, there is a really good chance that your current project is based on some other library or framework for asynchronous processing. Does it mean that you cannot benefit from elegant, easy to reason code that coroutines bring to the table? In this talk, I am going to show you how you can bring powers of coroutines into your mature and borning framework. Or maybe your case is different and your project is already using lots of ‘async’s and ‘launch’es. Then you will see superpowers you can use to make your asynchronous code more readable and less repetitive.</p>

<p>Concurrency is and certainly will be one of the biggest challenges we, developers, now face having to squeeze everything out of all the cores our CPUs have. With Kotlin you do not need to struggle with Java’s threads or Scala’s actors. Kotlin has its own concurrency model and I will show you why it is really cool and that it’s worth having a look at. During this presentation we will look into coroutines and see how they facilitate asynchronous programming. We will talk about flows and see how they make writing reactive code a breeze. If flows fit into your domain why not give Kotlin a shot?</p>

<p>Kotlin gives us a lot of possibilities, but with every power comes responsibility. What should we avoid doing in Kotlin? What are Kotlin internal contracts in terms of different features and functions? What is dangerous and should be avoided? How to code responsively?</p>

<p>Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development process where you write failing tests before writing the code to make it pass. This can be a common practice in some technology circles, but we’ve seen slow adoption on Android. Because it’s not embedded in the Android culture, it can be hard to learn how to get started with TDD. In this talk, we’ll go over the basics of TDD, how you can apply it at varying levels in an Android architecture, and what steps to take if you’re working with legacy code. You should walk away from this talk with the tools you need to get started exploring practicing TDD on your own.</p>

<p>Have you ever written a utility or library to help manage some complex code? What about a helper classes to manage some nasty setup of a really awkward library? You're probably sharing your head in agreement "yes, oh yes I've done that."<p>
<p>What if there was a way to create a beautiful API for that nasty code that was easy to use? You're in luck, because it exists, you just need to build a DSL (Domain Specific Language) around said code. Yes, its more work, but in the end it can make your code more readable, manageable and easier to consume. All resulting in a better development experience.<p>
<p>In this session, Donn will show you what a DSL is and how to build one use lambda functions, receivers and more … all in Kotlin. At the end of the talk you should had a good understanding of how to build a DSL so that you can make your teams development experience that much richer.</p>

<p>When should you create an extension rather than an instance function? When should you create an extension rather than a Util class? Should we even still use Builders? All of these questions have answers that usually are ambiguous at most and usually left up to preference when using Kotlin. I will provide you tips, from my experience, to help make it easier to answer these questions and strengthen your development.</p>

<p>While my colleagues revelled in Kotlin’s new features, I was curious how exactly these features are achieved on the JVM. So I spent some time reading byte code and decompiling Kotlin into Java with sometimes hilarious results.<p>
<p>In this presentation a take some example code in Kotlin, compile it and then decompile it with a Java decompiler and explain the results. Sometimes the decompiler produces really ..interesting.. code and then we take a deep dive into bytecode land to see what is going on – don’t worry I will explain what you need to know!<p>
<p>If you want to know how Kotlin achieves its ‘magic’ named arguments or how package level methods are built on the JVM this is the talk for you</p>

<p>A Cheaper Alternative for Deep Learning? - this talk is a continuation of the 2018 KotlinConf talk from Kotlin: The Next Frontier in Modern (Meta)programming. The talk highlights TornadoFX-Suite, which is a program that analyzes other TornadoFX projects and generates simple UI tests. In order to create smarter testing, we take a look at an new theory coming out of this project - how metaprogramming creates neural networking in comparison to neural networking in AI, and how neural networking in metaprogramming may provide a lot less processing power and more interesting results. I’m currently working with this theory right now to prove it, and I’m interested in sharing the results when I have it.</p>

<p>In this talk, we will look at the best practices for writing Kotlin and Java code that works so seamlessly from the other that the only way to what language it is written in is to look at the source code.</p>

<p>LiveData is a simple lifecycle-aware observable, designed for making UIs that react to changes safely and efficiently. It can be used beyond View↔️ViewModel communications and even components like Room support it. However, there's a risk of overuse, especially when dealing with multiple threads. The solution? Instead of expanding its features, LiveData now works seamlessly with Kotlin's coroutines. In this talk, we cover the new "liveData" coroutine builder, showing when and how to use it and testing patterns and antipatterns to make clean, efficient, and solid reactive UIs.</p>

<p>Kotlin sure has been receiving a lot of buzz lately, is there something to it? Developed by JetBrains, Kotlin has been catching on lately because of its null safety guarantees, functional nature, type inference, full interoperability with Java, cross-platform support, and ease of use with Android and Spring. Is this something you and your team should considering spending time to learn?</p>
<p>One of the most interesting aspects of Kotlin is its design philosophy. Bugs that exist in Java such as NullPointerExceptions are not possible in Kotlin. This mentality of preventing common bugs at the language level exists all through the Kotlin syntax and standard library. Kotlin is also far less verbose than Java, reducing the amount of code you need to read in order to understand it. It also runs on JVMs down to Java 6, without sacrificing features. So if you are in a constrained environment such as Android or an enterprise shop struggling to upgrade, Kotlin might be worth considering.</p>
<p>In this talk, you will learn where Kotlin came from, what its major features are, and why people are using it more and more. At the end of the talk, you will be in a position to make an educated decision about whether Kotlin is right for you!</p>

And the best of it: with absolutely no magic!</p>

This session will help you understand better what these features and extensions are doing internally. It will also show how you can use the tools that Android offers to find this kind of information on your own.</p>

<p>As programmers, we love solving problems. However, sometimes we need more than programmer grit to solve many problems with no easy answer. Suppose you need to tightly schedule 190 classes in 20 classrooms, with different class durations, recurrences, and constraints throughout the week? What about minimizing the operating cost of a train schedule while maintaining a steady movement of passengers? How about identifying objects in images? Or simply solving a Sudoku?</p>

<p>We know we should write tests, and we know that Kotlin gives us some nice features to use in our code, so how can we put these two together? There are some really great ways that Kotlin is being used in test writing, and we'll look at a number of them. This will include features such as higher order functions and escaping back-ticks and how they can make your tests more expressive. We'll also look at some testing libraries that take advantage of Kotlin's features. At the end of this talk you'll walk away with an understanding of how you can use Kotlin to make your tests more enjoyable.</p>

<p>8 months ago my team decided to select Kotlin as our language of choice for our backend services. Since then we write new code only in Kotlin and slowly migrate our existing codebase. I'd like to share experiences we gathered so far: good and bad parts of the migration, gotchas and Java/Kotlin compatibility issues</p>

<p>Kotlin allows developers to accomplish more with less code, making code more maintainable by being safer, easier to read, and easier to test. The spotlight often seems to be mostly on Android, where over 50% of developers are currently using it in their projects, but use of Kotlin is growing in a range of other applications as well. Kotlin's ability to interoperate with Java, compile natively on most architectures, and even transpile into Javascript mean this relatively new language has a lot of still unrealized potential.</p>

<p>Asynchronous code can get really messy, really quickly. 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 Tomas will be sharing with us how he 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. He'll also be sharing some of the lessons and best practices he learned along the way.

We plan to cover all the cool, and not so cool stuff involved in moving from Java to Kotlin. The syntax, the learning curve, the possibility of living with both, at least for some time, the tools and when does it make sense to start with the transition</p>

<p>Many questions arose after the adoption of Kotlin, on how to continue following best practices from Java, so whether you’re using dagger-android or vanilla Dagger, Ash and Sinan will explain how to ensure a smooth module interplay and go through some tips and tricks to make sure you’re using Dagger to it’s best capacity.</p>

<p>Coroutines are the new hot stuff, and right now they’re being added to lots of libraries. But what if you don’t want to use an alpha01 in production code? What can coroutines do on their own, right now?</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll discuss the power behind structured concurrency and how we can use it to make our entire stack lifecycle-aware. We’ll look at examples of how to turn any callback or long-running code into a coroutine, and we’ll go over when and how to use Channels to handle hot streams of data without leaking. Finally, and most importantly, we’ll see how we can use these tools to inform our application architecture, so that we can quickly write maintainable and testable features.</p>

<p>Kotlin is a great programming language from JetBrains, the maker of the world's best IDEs. In this presentation, I would try to show you the biggest advantages (in my opinion) of a great programming language – Kotlin for Android development. While comparing it with previous Android language (JAVA) I will demonstrate (with Code Snippets) how Kotlin is plus in readability, having elegant solutions of Java's biggest issues, and the vast amount of features that we won't see in Java anytime soon and many more. In short, we will have the whole picture of Kotlin starting from its History till Kotin in the future.</p>

<p>There's so much you know as a Java programmer and yet there is so much more that Kotlin offers. It's a language that is built on strong foundations and, at the same time, brings along phenomenal concepts to favor low ceremony, fluency, sensible warnings, safe types, pragmatic mixture of object-oriented and functional programming, and so much more. In this presentation, you'll start with what you already are familiar with, and dive into Kotlin, to learn about its strengths and capabilities.</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>

        <subject>Jetpack Compose — Next Gen Kotlin UI Toolkit for Android</subject>
        <url>https://www.de.droidcon.com/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Reactive applications are the norm on the web. Android applications have begun increasingly reactive using architectures like MVVM, MVI, Redux, etc., The reactive nature of these applications are due to the underlying architecture rather than the UI framework itself. This has resulted in some big wins like testability and strong separation of concerns while trading-off attributes like time-to-market and quickly on-boarding new developers to an existing project.</p>
<p>The API surface of the Android UI framework has been the same for the past decade. This was largely because of the limitations imposed by old tooling and the programming language. With Kotlin bringing in DSLs, functional programming and compiler plugin capabilities - the members of the Android UI Toolkit team have rolled up their sleeves and are taking a new direction. The new UI toolkit is backed by principles and techniques like - one-way data flow, function composition, declarative programming, optimistic concurrency control, isolation of side-effects, etc.,</p>
<p>This shift in API design also demands a shift in thinking about the app architecture and building UIs. In this talk, we’ll see how Jetpack Compose is radically different from the existing Android UI framework and how it adopts several ideas and programming patterns from web frameworks like React, MobX, and Vue.js. We will also see examples of these patterns and use them to build Android apps.</p>

        <subject>Deep diving into the Kotlin Coroutines API</subject>
        <url>https://www.de.droidcon.com/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Have you been learning Kotlin Coroutines by trial and error? Do you need a change of pace and environment or just a guide which doesn't baffle you with the sheer amounts of computer science terms, which coroutines are built upon?</p>
<p>Look no more! In this session, we'll go over the majority of the Kotlin Coroutines API, with the emphasis on explaining how each component works, which principles and elements are used behind the scenes, and how you can utilize Coroutines in your code, without burning out due to all the theory that is the foundation of computing and multi-threading.</p>

        <url>https://www.de.droidcon.com/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Building SDKs can be a challenging task: finding the right architecture, designing APIs that natural to use, keeping your code clean and finding ways to change APIs with grace after you decided to rewrite them once again.</p>
<p>Starting with common pitfalls while building SDKs, you will learn useful tricks and how you can use Kotlins features to create and maintain a stable API, for example, the @Deprecated and @Experimental annotation, typealiases and class delegation.
Moving on, you will get to know about finding the right balance between generalisation and customisation, magic tricks for initialisation and publishing your SDK to a private Maven repository.</p>
<p>You will leave this talk ready to build shiny, stable and testable SDKs that are a breeze to be used. Moreover, you will also know about the right way for you to distribute your SDK to the next billion developers.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Hear the story of how we shipped Kotlin Multiplatform across Android, iOS, and the Web to power Quizlet’s learning experience for over 50 million users per month. By pinpointing the best areas of our already mature codebase to share (and intentionally skipping over many others), Quizlet was able to use Kotlin Multiplatform to share the “secret sauce” of our product without shackling our Android, iOS, and Web clients to a predetermined architecture.</p>
<p>HWe drastically reduced the size of our Android app, achieved performance and stability wins across both iOS and Android, simplified our Web build process, and unlocked the ability for mobile and backend engineers to work confidently on this shared code -- but we also faced several speed bumps along the way. Learn how we overcame challenges such as platform-specific quirks of the Kotlin standard library, constantly evolving tooling, and many more to make the magic happen!</p>

<p>Насколько сложно для Java программиста написать программу, которая работает без виртуальной машины на голом железе? Не нужно бояться! Мы поговорим, как можно это осуществить, даже без виртуальной машины, но с комфортом, к которому мы привыкли с Java.
Мы напишем нативный код на Kotlin, современном языке с открытым исходным кодом и статической типизацией, который поддерживает много платформ, включая iOS, Android, JVM, JS, linux, macOS, windows и многие другие.</p>
<p>Чтобы было еще интереснее, мы используем в нашей программе на Kotlin библиотеки написанные на С и Objective-C/Swift. Кстати, наш код можно сделать доступным и для этих языков.
Напоследок, мы поговорим, как можно написать код на Котлине один раз и скомпилировать его для всех платформ сразу, используя Kotlin Multiplatform projects.</p>

<p>Библиотека kotlinx.serialization поддерживает сериализацию без рефлексии котлиновских классов в различные форматы на JVM, JS и Native. Если вы хоть раз задумывались, как именно эта магия работает изнутри и почему библиотека получилась такой, как она выглядит, этот рассказ для вас. Сначала мы рассмотрим основные пользовательские юзкейсы и как библиотека помогает их решать. Затем мы взглянем на более низкоуровневые интерфейсы и поймём, зачем нужен плагин к компилятору. И в конце, посмотрим как можно легко расширить библиотеку написанием своего простого формата сериализации.</p>

<p>Kotlin hilft uns, mit unseren bekannten Tools Software besser zu entwickeln, die im Code prägnant ist und weniger Fehler enthält. An vielen Stellen versucht es Designfehler von Java auszumerzen und bringt neue Programmiermodelle mit, die uns unterstützen Probleme mit neuem Handwerkszeug zu meistern. Dabei ist Kotlin dafür ausgelegt, sich nahtlos in bestehende Java-Projekte zu integrieren und selbst auf älteren 1.6 JVMs zu laufen. Ob Delegations, Reified Types... wir werden uns anschauen, welche Kotlin Features ein Java Entwickler kennen sollte und wie sie uns weiterhelfen. Dabei nehmen wir auch das neuste Kotlin 1.3 Update mit Coroutinen und Inline Classes unter die Lupe. Der Vortrag richtet sich sowohl an Kotlin-Neueinsteiger, als auch an Fortgeschrittene, die sich für die Neuerungen im Update 1.3 interessieren.</p>
<p>Kotlin ist weitaus mehr als eine Sprache auf der JVM. Mit Kotlin Native und Kotlin Multiplatform eröffnen sich völlig neue Möglichkeiten für eine plattformübergreifende Entwicklung. Ob im Backend, im Browser, auf Smartphones oder selbst auf Embedded Systemen, überall lässt sich in Kotlin programmieren, Code wiederverwenden und selbst ohne JVM nativ ausführen. Wie wäre es mit nativen IOs Apps, schlanken Microservices ohne JVM, oder Backends die sich mit dem Frontend die Codebase teilen? Wie setze ich ein solches Multiplatform Projekt auf? Wie kann ich nativ entwickeln und wo sind noch die Vor- und Nachteile - auch im Vergleich mit GraalVM?</p>

<p>Spring Kofu (for Kotlin and functional) is an experimental new API for configuring Spring applications. Instead of relying on annotations and classpath scanning to configure your application, Kofu provides you an explicit Kotlin DSL for functional bean definition. Combined with the GraalVM, Kofu applications start in just a few milliseconds and have a lower memory footprint.</p>

<p>Kotlin is one of those few multi-platform languages. You can compile Kotlin to Java bytecode, to Android, to WebAssembly, to run native on different OS, and to JavaScript. The language draws inspiration from many different languages. It is highly fluent and code in Kotlin is concise, elegant, and easy to maintain. This workshop will get you up to speed on using Kotlin for your day-to-day programming.</p>
<p>The workshop will start with the language basics and quickly dive into some of the more advanced features. We will also look at ways to use compile time metaprogramming and create fluent DSLs.</p>

Let's take a look at why you might want to do that, how many lines of Kotlin we need to do it… and when you might be better off sticking to established solutions like nginx or HAProxy.</p>

<p>Kotlin started like a secret internal project at JetBrains (creators of Intellij IDEA family of very productive IDEs) that were unsatisfied with all the historically accumulated Java limitations. Then Kotlin was peaking some steam supporting Android development and suddenly everybody started to be interested into it, Now Google advertise Kotlin like the preferred programming language for Android. Other companies like Pivotal/Spring, Gradle, Pinterest, AirBnb, are considering it for backend, scripting and cross-platform (Android, iOS) capabilities due to Kotlin abilities to provide concise code, nice DSLs, powerful scripting features, amazing reactive and async support using coroutines and the most interesting one the JavaScript & Native compilers. If you are curious on why Kotlin might be the best investment into your programming tool belt, just join our talk.</p>

<p>As Kotlin gathers more and more popularity among the developers it sets out to solve one of the biggest problems of modern software development, per-platform business logic duplication. With Kotlin Multiplatform developing shared codebase for multiple platforms becomes easy and hassle free, but is this brave new technology worthwhile or is it just another hype wave? This presentation will explain what Kotlin Multiplatform is, how it works, what are its limitations and what differs it from its counterparts such as React Native or Flutter.</p>

<p>We're back and its coroutine time! We're taking a look at getting started with Kotlin coroutines and how easy it can be to integrate into your existing projects. We'll cover its differences to existing callback based APIs. How you can bridge coroutines with existing async libraries. What some of the best practices are for embracing structured concurrency concepts. And explain what exactly is a "CoroutineContext". All experience levels are welcomed and we are looking to make this a very interactive event.</p>

<p>Now that Kotlin is the preferred language of Android developers, what is the best library to work with SQLite databases using Kotlin? Room just released support for Kotlin Coroutines, and SqlDelight released support for Kotlin Multi-platform. Room has great documentation and hides a lot of implementation detail, while SqlDelight lets you write raw SQL statements with an Android Studio plugin and then generates type-safe code for you. In this session, you'll see a rundown of these two libraries, along with live coding demos to help you decide which library sounds right for you in this Kotlin world.</p>

<p>Im letzten Jahr gab es kaum eine Umfrage über beliebte Sprachen und Technologien in der Kotlin nicht auftauchte. Warum sind Java-Entwickler begeistert von der Sprache? Warum wurde das Spring-Framework um Kotlin-Features erweitert? Viele Entwickler schätzen die kompakte Syntax und die pragmatischen Lösungen von typischen Java-Schmerzpunkten. Innovative Features ermöglichen es, NullPointerException’s zu verbannen, vorhandene Klassen um Funktionen zu erweitern und mit verbesserten Lambdas eigene DSLs umzusetzen. Dieser Vortrag gibt einen kompakten Überblick über die Möglichkeiten der Sprache und diskutiert den Einstieg in die Entwicklung mit Kotlin.</p>

<p>In this talk, Mo will present on how to use constructs such as actors, channels and flows in use cases. These use cases are modeling streams with channels and flows and using actors to ensure one concurrent job is running. Channels and Flows are experimental features that allow us to represent a stream of data. Flows represent a cold stream whereas a Channel is like a hot observable. We’ll dive into these topics.</p>

<p>Kotlin hat bereits die Android-Welt eingenommen und ich hatte viel Spaß dabei, für Android eine Open Source Konferenz-App in Kotlin zu schreiben. Den Prinzipien der Clean Code Architektur folgend, ist ein Großteil des Codes bereits Framework unabhängig. Ein Teil des Codes ist bereits Kotlin Multiplatform. Der nächste notwendige Schritt ist ein iOS Client.</p>
<p>Mit diesen Erfahrungen werden wir einen Blick auf Kotlin native und Kotlin Multiplatform werfen und versuchen dann eine einfache Cross-Plattform App von Grund auf zu schreiben. Ich verspreche euch, ich habe nur ein paar Folien und werde viel Live-Coden.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<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 Multiplatform enables sharing logic and architecture across platforms while still interacting with each platform’s native APIs. We’ll talk through what this looks like by walking through a sample application. We’ll highlight helpful patterns for both production and test code, as well as available tools and dependencies. Once we’re done you’ll be ready to leverage Kotlin’s code-sharing capabilities in your own projects, and never need to write the same logic twice ever again.</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. What an exciting frontier! In this talk we'll go over the creation of a Kotlin Multiplatform library. You'll learn how modules for each platform work, decide what parts of the code makes sense to share and what doesn't.

The native world brings native libraries, C static and dynamic libraries, Apple frameworks, Swift and Objective-C dependencies. Kotlin adds multiplatform libraries to share Kotlin code between different platforms. That is the way to share code between Android and iOS, between backend and frontend, between JVM, JavaScript, C, and Swift/Objective-C. Join us to learn about native development new Kotlin/Native<p>

<p>Im letzten Jahr gab es kaum eine Umfrage über beliebte Sprachen und Technologien in der Kotlin nicht auftauchte. Warum sind Java-Entwickler begeistert von der Sprache? Warum wurde das Spring-Framework um Kotlin-Features erweitert? Viele Entwickler schätzen die kompakte Syntax und die pragmatischen Lösungen von typischen Java-Schmerzpunkten. Innovative Features ermöglichen es, NullPointerException’s zu verbannen, vorhandene Klassen um Funktionen zu erweitern und mit verbesserten Lambdas eigene DSLs umzusetzen. Dieser Vortrag gibt einen kompakten Überblick über die Möglichkeiten der Sprache und diskutiert den Einstieg in die Entwicklung mit Kotlin.<p>

<p>Two years ago, Android announced first-class support for the Kotlin programming language. Both the language and the platform evolved a lot during this time, with more focus from the engineering teams at Google on helping developers use the full power of Kotlin. In fact, we’ve seen tremendous adoption of the language among top Android app developers.
That’s why, just 2 years later, we announced that, going forward, Android will become Kotlin-first.<p>
<p>In this talk I want to talk about the current state of Kotlin on Android, and give you a small glimpse into the future of what modern app development with Android Jetpack looks
like.<p>

<p>Although it may be many developers’ favourite by now, Kotlin is not *yet* everywhere.
In the desire to deliver a library or an API that will provide the best experience for both Kotlin and Java developers, there are a few things to be aware of.<p>
<p>Whether you’re creating a library or exposing an API for either external or internal use, you should make sure Kotlin and Java play nice.<p>
<p>This talk will present some of our experiences at Nexmo in the Kotlin-Java interop realm. It will share some challenges and considerations we faced, some gotchas we encountered and some tips that will make your lives easier when striving for great developer experience.<p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Kotlin's compiler backends, JVM, JS, and native, are each often associated with one platform: Android, the web, and iOS, respectively. But nothing about these three backends require that they be used on multiple platforms. Android is one of the few places where we have the potential to use all three!<p>
<p>This talk will explore using Kotlin/JS and Kotlin/Native in an Android app. First, we'll look at the motivations for why you might want to compile Kotlin to JS or native on Android. We'll cover the tools and libraries which will be necessary for integration into an app. Finally, we'll talk about the positive and negative architectural implications of using multiple Kotlin backends in your app.<p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Not everyone can jump right into a Kotlin Multiplatform world. Many of us have legacy codebases and need to support our businesses first. Yet we can already use Kotlin to connect our platforms and realize significant value.<p>
<p>In this talk we’ll learn to build a DSL that defines a contract between an API and its clients. We’ll make our DSL into a common vocabulary that translates platform idiosyncrasies. Then, by connecting it to CI, we’ll enforce our contract to keep our platforms on speaking terms.<p>
<p>The examples in this talk will be from Sprout, an internal library in development at Etsy. The Sprout Kotlin DSL is the seed that generates code for many platforms: Retrofit endpoints, Moshi models, Swift, PHP, and more. We’ll look at how to use Kotlin as a templating language, and how the DSL can even generate itself. Finally we’ll peek at the future potential of these types of DSLs. What does connecting a Figma file look like? What about Jetpack Compose and Swift UI? Let’s dream big and then write a DSL for it.<p>

<p>The popularity and adoption of Kotlin has been rising after Android welcomed it as first class citizen on the platform. Swift has been following its own path to success the last couple of years. Both share many similarities and as both platforms has been converging, barriers to become fluent on native mobile apps for Android and iOS are lower than ever!. Join us to see an Android developer doing Swift, an iOS developer writing Kotlin and enjoy this thrill ride with two tour guides that will drive you out of your comfort zone while sharing their struggles and success to inspire you to learn the languages. In this talk we'll review similarities and advantages as we implement an app on both platforms, how to start using the other language once you've given your first steps on either and how you can start your world domination plans with your next line of code. Quack quack!<p>

<p>In the past couple of years, Kotlin became the new standard for modern Android development, and you are probably familiar with most parts of the language already. There are certain features that you use every day but maybe don't quite understand how they work exactly. How are functions like `apply` and `with` implemented? Does Kotlin provide operator overloading? What does the `reified` keyword do? I want to write a DSL, how does it work?<p>
<p>In this talk, we want to dive into some advanced features of the language. We learn about concepts like reified generic types, lambdas with receiver, DSLs, built-in delegation, infix functions, operator overloading, destructuring, inline classes, and more. The talk will make you feel more comfortable about what Kotlin does internally and why functions in the standard library "just work". You will learn to make use of advanced features to get even more productive with the language.<p>

<p>Now that Kotlin is the preferred language of Android developers, what is the best library to work with SQLite databases using Kotlin? Room just released support for Kotlin Coroutines, and SqlDelight released support for Kotlin Multi-platform. Room has great documentation and hides a lot of implementation detail, while SqlDelight lets you write raw SQL statements with an Android Studio plugin and then generates type-safe code for you. In this session, you'll see a rundown of these two libraries, along with live coding demos to help you decide which library sounds right for you in this Kotlin world.<p>

<p>We've recently re-organized teams in OLX. My team and I went on to maintain and develop the posting flow of the app. Due to the new team structures, we were able to start new architectures and try out new things within the new teams. The goal was to migrate into a new api, while keeping the flow the same to the user's perspective.<p>
<p>I started experimenting with Kotlin Multiplatform for the posting form. I started with the data models and the fetching of data. Another thing we were considering was that we need to keep the flow the same and have safety for switching to this new code just in case something happens.<p>
<p>I will present learnings and patterns that we used along with learnings of how to coordinate with the team for both Android and iOS.<p>

<p>We all know it: Kotlin is awesome, and we all want to write all of our code in it. But what about the thousands of lines of code we've already written in the Java programming language? Even if we want to rewrite it all, sometimes our managers, or ourselves, say no. In this talk we'll look at the best practices for writing Kotlin code that works so seamlessly from Java that the only way to what language its written in is to look at the source code. After the talk, you'll feel confident writing Kotlin code anywhere, knowing it will feel just as natural using that code with the Java programming language.<p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Protocol Buffers (or Protobuf) is an efficient schema-based data serialization protocol, and gRPC is a high-performance, HTTP/2-based RPC framework. The two work together flawlessly to help you build world class distributed systems.<p>
<p>At Square, client and server engineers collaborate on Protobuf schemas to define APIs. We also built Wire - a library which processes schemas and generates Java code that applications can use to send and receive data. Last year we started working on Wire 3, which is rewritten in Kotlin, generates Kotlin code, and adds a number of exciting features:<p>
<p>- Protobuf messages as data classes
- Multiplatform runtime module
- Coroutines-based gRPC APIs
- Gradle plugin<p>
<p>In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into these features, and talk about how we leveraged Kotlin to create better APIs. We’ll show you how to get the best out of Protobuf and gRPC for your server and client applications using Wire.<p>

<p>Kotlin Multiplatform is a language feature that allows compiling Kotlin code for Java, JavaScript, iOS, and even Native targets. While there are plenty of resources on how to use this feature, this session takes a look at converting a real-world Java Swing Application to Kotlin Multiplatform and when it actually makes sense to use it.<p>
<p>Starting from with the basics of Kotlin Multiplatform, you will get to see its
beauty and simplicity. After that, you will learn about gotchas, caveats and
lessons learnt from converting and refactoring a Java Desktop Application to Kotlin and running it on multiple target platforms. In this talk, we will take a look at running our refactored code in the browser.<p>
<p>You'll leave this talk with a solid grasp of what's possible with Kotlin
Multiplatform, where it makes sense to use it and where it maybe doesn't.<p>

<p>C'est l'été, mais ça veux pas dire qu'on arrête de partler de Kotlin, mais on préfere le faire ensemble autour d'une bierre :)
C'est aussi l'occasion de convaincre ceux qui n'y sont pas encore passé (nos amis qui font du Java côté serveur, de l'iOS en Swift ou du Web en JS) de venir boire un verre avec nous pour y rencontrer la communauté !
Retouvez nous au bar Tenesse pour une parler actualité, expérience, communication, et futur de Kotlin :)<p>

<p>This time we are covering an introduction to Kotlin. Though it isn't Android specific. Our hope is that you will leave with knowledge of Kotlin itself, as well as some commonly used practices. In the talk we will cover things like; why learn Kotlin, Java vs Kotlin, nullability, immutability, high-order functions, and much more. This is an open and free learning environment, come to the event ready with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you there!<p>

<p>You have probably already heard about Kotlin. But why it is better than other JVM languages? What Kotlin has that Java does not? What Kotlin has in common with JavaScript? Why do Android developers love Kotlin? You can find answers to​ all these questions in my presentation. I will show you basic Kotlin rules, its main conceptions and how to use this language on a daily basis. Finally, we will try to create a real-life application based on Kotlin and Spring Boot.<p>

<p>Kotlin ist die neue, hippe JVM-Sprache mit sehr guter Java-Integration und vielen neuen Features.<p>
<p>Aus Sicht der funktionalen Programmierung fehlt gegenüber Scala jedoch ein richtig ausdrucksstarkes Typensystem und der Fokus auf FP.<p>
Wie man mit ein paar Kniffen trotzdem sehr brauchbar selbst abstrakte Konzepte wie Applicative und Monad in Kotlin benutzen kann, und welche gewohnten FP-Konstrukte dem Kotlin-Programmierer zur Verfügung stehen möchte ich in diesem Vortrag vorstellen.<p>

<p>Die immer noch relativ junge Sprache Kotlin bietet diverse interessante Möglichkeiten und Spracheigenschaften. In diesem Vortrag werden zuerst einige Sprach-Highlights wie Nullable-Typen, benannte Parameter & Default-Werte und Extensions vorgestellt. Im zweiten Teil wird auf die spezifischer auf Stärken und Vorteile von Kotlin für Android eingegangen - wie die volle Interoperabilität mit Java und sehr praktische Erweiterungen aus den Kotlin-Android-Extensions. Das wird uns zur Schussfolgerung führen, dass Kotlin und Android gut harmonieren.<p>

<p>Have you tried Native with Kotlin/Native? It compiles your Kotlin code for various native platforms, including iOS, Mac, Linux, and Windows. No virtual machine is needed! The native world brings native libraries, C static and dynamic libraries, Apple frameworks, Swift and Objective-C dependencies. Kotlin adds multiplatform libraries to share Kotlin code between different platforms. That is the way to share code between Android and iOS, between backend and frontend, between JVM, JavaScript, C, and Swift/Objective-C. You benefit from both platform libraries and multiplatform pure Kotlin libraries. Join us to learn about native development new Kotlin/Native, code reuse between platforms and multiplatform development fun.</p>

<p>Coroutines to the Rescue! Asynchronous or non-blocking programming is the new reality. Whether we're creating server-side, desktop or mobile applications, using microservices architecture or not, it provides an experience that is not only fluid from the user's perspective, but scalable when needed. Coroutines is a new feature that was released in Kotlin 1.3 and has similar counterparts in other languages like C# and JavaScript. Let’s understand together what it is all about.</p>

<p>With more than 10 years of Scala experience and with many other languages, recently jumped onto Kotlin, because it look very promising as a Java competitor. Of course there is no one size fits all solution. This 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>PART ONE - COROUTINES
Coroutines are the official solution for tackling asynchronous programming and parallelism in Kotlin. They reached maturity in the latest release but have been widespread for some time, especially within Android projects. Coroutines are an elegant solution which can be applied in isolation or used as a foundation for other frameworks.</p>

<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, its 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>Spring Boot is the the convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal that merges Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults. Spring Boot addresses common requirements, both functional and non-functional, and makes development a breeze for developers. Official support for Kotlin was announced in January 2017 and since then improvements related to Kotlin support have continued to be made (including recently supporting coroutines).</p>
<p>There is a surprising amount of functionality at your fingertips when using Spring and there are many decisions that can be made when deciding how to configure or structure a web application. The following topics will be discussed during the session:
- Gotchas when using Kotlin with Spring Boot
- Imperative and declarative approaches
- Servlet-stack web applications
- Reactive-stack web applications to run on non-blocking servers
- Going serverless
- Alternative frameworks</p>

<p>The Kotlin Multiplatform world has grown a lot in the last year. I'll talk through my experiences writing one of the first publicly available libraries for use in Android and iOS shared code, and how things have evolved today. We'll talk about what's gotten easier and what's still hard, and how you can jump in and join this exciting ecosystem.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Adopting a new programming language is a big deal. It divides opinions at a company, department, and team level. Developers love arguing about their preferred programming language of choice. Debates and discussion often focus on what one language offers over another. No one ever talks about how to navigate this debate. In this talk, I want to share how N26, the mobile bank the world loves to use, successfully overcame this debate by sharing the process of how we adopted Kotlin. I’ll share our failed attempts in other languages, why we decided to explore (yet another!) language, the process we went through and the heated discussions we had. I’ll highlight concrete experiments we conducted to collect data and share insights into our process of adopting a new programming language. I’ll also share some lessons learned about how it all went after a year of adopting Kotlin. This talk will be highly elegant for those of you interested in Kotlin (or another language), considering how to adopt a new programming language, or how to influence others to adopt a new programming language.</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>Kotlin hilft uns, mit unseren bekannten Tools Software besser zu entwickeln, die im Code prägnant ist und weniger Fehler enthält. An vielen Stellen versucht es Designfehler von Java auszumerzen und bringt neue Programmiermodelle mit, die uns unterstützen Probleme mit neuem Handwerkszeug zu meistern. Dabei ist Kotlin dafür ausgelegt, sich nahtlos in bestehende Java-Projekte zu integrieren und selbst auf älteren 1.6 JVMs zu laufen. Ob Delegations, Reified Types... wir werden uns anschauen, welche Kotlin Features ein Java Entwickler kennen sollte und wie sie uns weiterhelfen. Dabei nehmen wir auch das neuste Kotlin 1.3 Update mit Coroutinen und Inline Classes unter die Lupe.
Der Vortrag richtet sich sowohl an Kotlin-Neueinsteiger, als auch an Fortgeschrittene, die sich für die Neuerungen im Update 1.3 interessieren.</p>
<p>Kotlin ist weitaus mehr als eine Sprache auf der JVM. Mit Kotlin Native und Kotlin Multiplatform eröffnen sich völlig neue Möglichkeiten für eine plattformübergreifende Entwicklung. Ob im Backend, im Browser, auf Smartphones oder selbst auf Embedded Systemen, überall lässt sich in Kotlin programmieren, Code wiederverwenden und selbst ohne JVM nativ ausführen. Wie wäre es mit nativen IOs Apps, schlanken Microservices ohne JVM, oder Backends die sich mit dem Frontend die Codebase teilen? Wie setze ich ein solches Multiplatform Projekt auf? Wie kann ich nativ entwickeln und wo sind noch die Vor- und Nachteile - auch im Vergleich mit GraalVM?</p>

<p>The Kotlin Koans are a great way to become familiar with the Kotlin language.</p>
<p>They are a collection of exercises to become familiar with Kotlin's main features. Each exercise contains a test case which we need to make pass by writing some Kotlin code - what better way to get to know Kotlin!</p>
<p>For this event, we'll go through the koans together to write solutions. You can feel free to work individually or as groups.
We can share solutions on the big screen or even do some mob programming to code some of the solutions together.</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 understand why Kotlin is a great choice for a huge variety of projects.</p>

<p>Prelegenci – Ola i Paweł – na co dzień programują w Kotlinie, pracując przy budowie platformy do ubezpieczeń morskich, opartej na technologii distributed ledger/blockchain.
Pierwsza część ich prezentacji będzie skierowana przede wszystkim do osób programujących w Javascripcie, rozważających rozwój w kierunku backendu (i to niekoniecznie w NodeJS). Prelegenci przedstawią typowy stack właściwy dla ekosystemu Javy, pozwalający na rozpoczęcie projektu JVM. Następnie opowiedzą o samym Kotlinie, starając się uchwycić jego specyfikę z perspektywy Javascriptu i Javy oraz takie aspekty jak komfort pracy, czy łatwość przyzwyczajenia się do nowego języka.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>This workshop will transition experienced Java developers into the Kotlin language and ecosystem. The delivery will be entirely based around building sample applications, of increasing complexity, from first principles. The day will be structured into four 90 minute iterations, where delegates build the following:</p>
<p>A Rich Client for a set of RESTful services using standard Java/JEE frameworks (such as JavaFX and JAX-RS)
A set of RESTful services for the client. Using Spring Boot, Spring MVC and annotation driven configuration
A reactive version of the services, using Spring WebFlux with the Kotlin specific DSL and Project Reactor
A purely functional version of the same services using the Ktor framework and the Arrow library</p>
<p>By the end of the workshop delegates will have gained experience in all aspects of Kotlin, but in particular how to make best use of the OO and FP in combination. They will also have seen how to refactor Kotlin code in IntelliJ and write unit, integration and property based tests using KotlinTest. Sample applications written in Kotlin Native and JS will also be provided, but these cannot be created incrementally due to time constraints.</p>
<p>Delegates should have at least 4 years experience in developing Java applications and have some prior exposure to REST and Spring Boot. The only requirements for the course are a laptop with Java 8 (or above) and an up to date version of IntelliJ (the Community Edition is fine).</p>

<p>With Kotlin targeting the JVM, Android, and JavaScript, and with Kotlin/Native targeting other platforms such as iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux, the possibility of targeting multiple platforms with a single project is now a reality. In this talk, we’re going to cover how you can create multi-platform projects with Kotlin, what is provided as part of the language, and what is made available in libraries.</p>

<p>Do you love Kotlin? Do you think you know all about Kotlin? This talk will challenge you! If you are a Kotlin beginner, it will introduce you to some secrets of the language. Kotlin is a language which is very easy to learn for Java developers. Its gentle learning curve should not prevent us from exploring the more advanced features and aspects.</p>
<p>Having already worked with Kotlin in many projects, I have discovered a few useful tricks and not-so-widely-known features that can be beneficial for programmers of any level: From a series of posts on my blog, I will show things that people don’t know you can do with Kotlin.</p>

<p>Kotlin allows developers to accomplish more with less code, making code more maintainable by being safer, easier to read, and easier to test. The spotlight often seems to be mostly on Android, where over 50% of developers are currently using it in their projects, but use of Kotlin is growing in a range of other applications as well. Kotlin's ability to interoperate with Java, compile natively on most architectures, and even transpile into Javascript mean this relatively new language has a lot of still unrealized potential.</p>

<p>Kotlin has a small handful of scoping functions, which assist developers in writing more terse code. But with terseness, comes readability issues, and choosing the right scoping function isn’t always obvious. We’ll dig into these topics and try and find the best choices to make with scoping functions.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Since Kotlin began, back in 2010, many features have appeared in the language, some of them are still going, others only show up in the deepest darkest depths of source repository history. We will start the talk with several fun facts from Kotlin’s past. You will learn a little about the namesake-island, traits, generics, and type erasure. Writing compact, clear, and idiomatic code will also be one of our topics. Nowadays, Kotlin is not just the JVM language it was in the very beginning, today it supports JVM, JS, and native platforms, including iOS. Did you know of the possibility to share common code and libraries between these platforms? Join us for more.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>For many mobile developers, their Kotlin journey began when Android announced first-class support for the Kotlin programming language at Google I/O in 2017. Both the language and the platform evolved a lot during this time,  with more focus from the engineering teams at Google on helping developers use the full power of Kotlin. In fact, we’ve seen tremendous adoption of the language among top Android app developers. That’s why, just 2 years later, we announced that going forward Android will become Kotlin-first. In this talk I want to talk about the current state of Kotlin on Android, and give you a small glimpse into the future of what modern app development might look like.</p>

<p>RxJava has been around for a while, and Coroutines just surfaced into the Android world not long ago. Different approaches to solve similar issues, but their learning curve is not the same. What if we could actually make them work together, and bridge features meant for one to work with the other? And what about migrations? This and much more will be included in our trip through the async world on Android. And I promise, no AsyncTasks will be harmed!</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Domain Driven Design, or DDD, is a methodology or an approach in software development that emphasises the importance of getting your Domain or business logic right. It is becoming more and more popular, because DDD is powerful pattern that eases communication between engineers (through the code) and the business (using a Ubiquitous language). In this talk, we will explore apparent contradictions where applying DDD practices counter Kotlin’s approach, and how we found ways to work around them. Examples we explore is how we resolve DDD’s mutable and Kotlin’s immutable ideas or how to best isolate business logic in composable ways. This session will demonstrate how to naturally befriend Kotlin and DDD, challenges we faced on our way and useful tricks and tips.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Kotlin is so much more than a shiny new JVM language. By targeting platforms outside the JVM, Kotlin allows us to share code and thus stay focused on delivering value – all while staying truly native and not making compromises in either user or developer experience.
In this talk, we will go over the creation of two client apps: one Android and one iOS, which share functionalities in Kotlin. We will talk about architecture, code organisation, and balance between code sharing and pragmatism. You will leave with knowledge of opportunities, challenges and a picture of the current maturity of the Kotlinsphere.</p>

<p>I have been teaching our rapidly growing team of Android developers Kotlin for about a year, and for the last few months, I’ve been reviewing tens of thousands of lines of code written by almost a dozen people at times. Here’s what we’ve found out together about learning, teaching, and reviewing Kotlin. I’ll tell you what worked for us and what didn’t, so that you may be more prepared for this path than we were. I’ll also point out some of the issues that most often arose in the code while our developers were getting familiar with the language.</p>

<p>One of the big cons of Functional Programming can be the learning curve. On this talk we’ll learn how to encode “effectful” programs in a controlled way following the FP principles through a direct syntax. You’ll think you’re writing imperative code! Some additional bits we’ll learn: – What’s an effect – Why we’d want to keep in under control – How to control errors and encode deferred execution through IO and further more powerful data types to be released. – How to use the power of Kotlin suspension system to enforce us to keep our side effects under control. – And much more.</p>

<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>Since Kotlin 1.3 was released last October, coroutines are no longer experimental and have become a key feature for Kotlin programmers, which was largely promoted during KotlinConf 2018. In this talk, we will quickly compare coroutines to other options of asynchronous programming available in Kotlin and explore how to use them efficiently in your app.</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>

            <![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>

<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>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<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>

Why not try Kotlin with ktor, it's lightweight, scalable and multiplatform. You can easily build a backend using DSL's and coroutines.</p>
<p>Ktor runs in standard server environments, like Google's App Engine, which will host and scale your backend automatically.</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>

<p>-Comment aborder un nouveau langage? Les uns répondent en codant, les autres en regardant son fonctionnement en détail. Dans ce 'Deep Dive' nous vous proposons les deux ! Quoi de mieux qu'un live-coding d'un exercice complet pour découvrir les idiomes du langage. Puis en regardant sous le capot, les fonctionnalités que nous n'avons pas (encore) en Java, ne resteront plus un mystère pour vous !</p>

<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>The promise of cross-platform frameworks looks great on paper, and some of them do a pretty good job delivering actual results. But with inherent differences between platforms, is "build once, run anywhere" even worth pursuing? Learn how you can share parts of your app between mobile platforms (and even the web!) without compromising quality, and delivering a best in class Android experience. During this talk I'll explain the basics of setting up Kotlin Multiplatform projects, show an example app sharing business logic in Kotlin between Android, iOS and the web, and show how to implement your own Kotlin MP libraries.</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 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>

<p>We all know multithreaded application development can make you 🤔😡. Chasing down deadlocks and race conditions can keep you up at night. But Kotlin introduces another way to tackle the problem. 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>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>

<p>Join us as we hear from two of our regular attendees, John Burns and Jonathan Bisson as they speak about building and utilizing Domain Specific Languages (DSLs for short) in Kotlin. 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>Zastanawialiście się ostatnio czy ten nowy projekt backendowy jest dobrym miejscem by spróbować Kotlina (i nie chodzi nam o ketchup)?</p>
<p>Ale wszystko co wiecie na temat Kotlina to wiedza pozyskana z kilku prezentacji lub blog postów, które mówią jak młodzieżowy jest to język?</p>
<p>Może dobrym pomysłem byłoby zapytać kogoś kto tego spróbował na własnej skórze? I oto jesteśmy my by opowiedzieć Wam naszą historię transformacji z Java Backend do Java/Kotlin Backend developerów.</p>
<p>Opowiemy Wam jakie Kotlin kryje w sobie pułapki, które ficzery Kotlina podobają nam się najbardziej. Przeprowadzimy Was przez recepty, które zebraliśmy w trakcie prac nad naszym ostatnim projektem.</p>
<p>A jako wisienka na torcie: powiemy Wam czy wybralibyśmy Kotlina ponownie dysponując wiedzą, którą dysponujemy
dzisiaj.</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>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>In recent times in the Tech world, precisely the software Engineering space, new technologies have evolved with kotlin as one of them, which has a very concise syntax, but powerful abilities and very versatile. Therefore, there is a need for every society to have a Kotlin community where members will be guided on learning the language and use it to solve problems around them.</p>

<p>Le framework Android actuel, basé sur Java incite beaucoup à créer des "callback hells" et de nombreux points de blocage via des mutex, car nous n'avons pas de moyen plus simple de garantir la "thread safety".</p>
<p>Avec les coroutines, Kotlin apporte un framework complet et efficace pour s'occuper de la concurrence d'une manière plus performante et surtout plus simple.</p>
<p>Ce talk a pour but de montrer comment tirer parti des coroutines pour se débarraser des callbacks et des

<p>La librairie Rx est une solution efficace et assez répandue pour traiter l’asynchronisme. Depuis l’arrivée de Kotlin une nouvelle solution est disponible : les coroutines.</p>
<p>Dans cette présentation nous exposerons les basiques de Rx et des Coroutines. Nous mettrons ensuite en confrontation les 2 solutions via des cas d’usages simples, afin de tirer les avantages de chaque techno. Finalement nous essaierons ensemble de comprendre les philosophies de chaque solution.</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>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>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>

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>Anschließend erzählt Robin (https://github.com/roschlau) etwas über Reified Generics, welche im Gegensatz zu Java die Typinformationen auch innerhalb der Funktion verfügbar machen, was zu lesbarerem Code führt.</p>
<p>Den Schluss macht Dennis (https://github.com/deen13) mit Ktor, einem Framework zur Erstellung webbasierter API's mit minimalem Aufwand.</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>Type Proofs is a new compiler plugin built on Arrow Meta enabling new features in the Kotlin type system, such as Type Classes, Union Types, Type Refinements, and many other extensions that make Functional Programming easier in Kotlin.</p>
<p>Type Proofs propositions are expressed as extension functions that unlock new relationships between types ad-hoc whilst remaining fully compatible with subtype polymorphism and the existing inheritance type system.</p>
<p>This talk demonstrates some of the new features the Arrow team is introducing in Arrow at the type level and IDE and how others can benefit from them when buildinding libraries and applications.</p>

<p>In this codelab, you'll learn how to refactor your code from Java to Kotlin. You'll also learn what the Kotlin language conventions are and how to ensure that the code you're writing follows them.</p>
<p>This codelab is suited to any developer that uses Java who is considering migrating their project to Kotlin. We'll start with a couple of Java classes that you'll convert to Kotlin using the IDE. Then we'll take a look at the converted code and see how we can improve it by making it more idiomatic and avoid common pitfalls.</p>

<p>After the concept of coroutine where you can perform anything off the main thread,
Kotlin has introduced yet another cool concept called Flow. Flow allows you to manage
your data stream asynchronously. This talk aims to cover how Flow can be used for
your android application. (But the concept can be applied for any Kotlin codebase)
Following will be the key takeaways
1. Creating and cancelling the Flow
2. Various flow operators
3. Handling errors and exceptions
4. How I use flow for my projects
5. Testing your flow
6. High-level comparison with RxJava</p>

<p>In this talk, we will explore how Kotlin and its features around multiplatform projects can help tackle tasks around writing systems that are distributed across multiple platforms, such as server-client applications. In particular, we will look at how Kotlin for JVM and Kotlin/JS can play together, allowing us to share models, business logic, and most of all knowledge. We will get a broad overview of creating, managing and building such applications – all from within a single Gradle project, staying type-safe, and utilizing common and platform libraries.</p>
<p>We'll also briefly talk about how we at JetBrains employ these Kotlin multiplatform features to prototype new ideas and realize products – from hackathon projects to JetBrains Space, our integrated team environment</p>

<p>La programación asincrónica es muy importante. Ya sea que estemos creando aplicaciones del lado del servidor, de escritorio o móviles, es importante que brindemos una experiencia que no solo sea fluida desde la perspectiva del usuario, sino que sea escalable cuando sea necesario.</p>
<p>Existen muchos enfoques para este problema, y Kotlin toma uno muy flexible al proporcionar soporte de Corutinas a nivel de lenguaje y delegar la mayor parte de la funcionalidad a las bibliotecas, en línea con la filosofía de Kotlin.</p>

<p>Concurrency is hard. Let's check out together how Kotlin attempts to tackle that in a practical way using their take on lightweight threads - the coroutines.</p>
<p>Together, we'll follow a hands-on exercise, learning about:
- suspend functions
- using coroutines for concurrency
- sharing data between coroutines using channels</p>

<p>Existen situaciones donde tenemos código que se repite varias veces en diferentes lugares; esto lo podemos solucionar centralizando el código en un helper o con otra estrategia diferente. Sin embargo a veces ese código debe ser generado dependiendo de unas entradas. Para ello podemos usar el procesador de anotaciones, que por medio de metadatos (anotaciones) generamos código en tiempo de compilación. En esta charla, veremos cómo funciona el procesador de anotaciones, sus ventajas, desventajas y crearemos anotaciones para unos casos de uso.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Generics on the JVM is hard. You don't need to look far to find evidence of this, but a good start would be (the 350 page FAQ)[http://www.angelikalanger.com/GenericsFAQ/JavaGenericsFAQ.html]. Issues with Generics trace back to three root causes. First, the inherent difficulty combining type parameters with sub-typing, second the compromises made in the Java syntax and finally the decision to go for a non-reified implementation.</p>
<p>Kotlin does its best to mitigate these problems. For example, declaration-site variance and type projections are used instead of wildcard types, and reification is supported for type parameters of inline functions. When combined with IDE support this makes generic coding less fraught and much more productive.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>One of the reasons Kotlin has proven so popular is its wide array of abstractions and constructs. But pattern matching, a popular feature that in other languages allows us to easily inspect data and act accordingly, is currently missing.</p>
<p>This talk aims to explore the possibility of adding pattern matching to Kotlin. It will go through why and how it could be done, from adding it to the actual language to using a compiler plugin (much like kotlinx.serialization works).</p>

<p>Kotlin doesn’t force you to handle functions that might throw exceptions, so how can we best ensure that our code is safe to execute whilst handling errors in a reasonable way? In this talk, we’ll look at some strategies that the team at Cuvva evaluated and discuss in-depth the solution they chose: the Result Monad. We’ll talk about how it works and build one from first principles, and discuss how utilizing this strategy can help you.

        <subject>No Drama Concurrency with Kotlin Actors</subject>
        <url>https://www.meetup.com/PHX-Android/events/271534185/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Everything on Android is essentially asynchronous, so achieving thread safety is of absolute importance for the integrity of our data. Historically we've used synchronized blocks and mutexes to achieve concurrency, but the code is complex and sometimes feels unapproachable. Actors are part of the Kotlin Coroutines library and are the most straight forward, readable way to deal with concurrency, without going crazy. This talk will help you understand what Actors and how to use them through real world examples.</p>
