"AI-Assisted Software Development With Kotlin And Autonomous Agents" by Alex Fedorov

AI Agents and using them for AI-assisted development can be powerful, save a lot of time, and shrink the time-to-value horizons. They even allow you to automate things that you would have never considered before. However, there are gotchas: code quality, architecture, code review, testing, and actual customer need. These concepts become real bottlenecks in the end-to-end business & customer value delivery via software development. In this talk, you’ll learn about the nature of the problem and how to mitigate and even overcome these challenges.

"From Kotlin to Native and back: accessing native macOS API in Compose Multiplatform" by Marco Gomiero

Compose Multiplatform makes it easy to build cross-platform desktop apps with Kotlin and Compose, but what about native APIs, like iCloud on macOS? Accessing such APIs isn't possible through the regular Compose Multiplatform toolchain. However, with a bit of "magic", we can turn dreams (or feature requests) into reality.

In this talk, we'll explore how to combine Kotlin/Native and the JNI (Java Native Interface) to bridge the gap between a JVM-based UI and native system features. We'll write Kotlin code, compile it into a native library, and call it back from Kotlin.

You'll learn how to build Kotlin/Native code into a native macOS dynamic library and integrate it into a Compose Multiplatform desktop app, unlocking access to iCloud and enabling features like backup and restore for your app’s data.
