It's easy to start using Kotlin – like Java, so your experience will easily allow you to begin programming in Java style. However, learning Kotlin's best practices is a must to take full advantage of the language.

Kotlin programming language provides many features for writing concise code. On the flip side, overusing those features will result in clever code that is harder to maintain. Let’s analyze how these features could be applied in different scenarios.

This session will examine the features that make programs look beautiful and readable:

  • Functions and expressions
  • Extensions and standard library goodies
  • Null-safety quirks & bolts
  • Type-safe builders, a.k.a DSLs

LEVEL OF TALK: Intermediate
