Kotlin: Android's New Old Programming Language with Steve Peterson

Kotlin is the "new" (meaning 5 years old) programming language alternative for Android Development. It was developed by JetBrains (the maker of IDEs for Android and other platforms), and as of 2017, embraced and approved by Google. This presentation will show numerous code examples and include tips on how to get started for your project.
