.NET South East March 2018 - Joe Stead

Learning Kotlin as a C# Developer:

There are hundreds of programming languages out there now, more seem to crop up every week, trying to learn them all is an impossible task. Learning Kotlin, like any language, presented various challenges. Is my code idiomatic? Is this a good use of the language, or am I abusing the syntax to solve my problem? We'll start with a basic introduction to Kotlin, how to get up and running with relative ease, and then we'll start comparing simple applications written in C# and seeing how we could write them in Kotlin instead. Finally, we'll share ideas to help you start writing Kotlin immediately, without rewriting all of your existing .NET code.
