Programming with Kotlin
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.
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.
