Since Android took the world by storm, we have had no alternatives to Java for android app development. Although its usage is widespread, Java comes with a lot of historical baggage. Java 8 solved few of the language issues, but to use it a minimum SDK version of 24 is required.

Kotlin aims to fill that gap of a missing modern language for the Android platform. Lets explore Kotlin for android app development in this meetup.

Agenda:

• Why another language?

• Problems with Java - Android.

• What’s Kotlin ?

• Little dive into the syntax.

• Features.

• Issues.

• Conclusion.

Join us on 16th April 2017, 11:00 AM onwards. Snacks and open discussion post session.
