Kotlin Notebooks, Performant Android CI

Introduction: The DevCommunity.org team is hard at work setting up Android, iOS, and AI/ML meetups (more to come on this) so don't hesitate to come out. This month we'll have 2 speakers presenting on some amazing topics (see below for full agenda and details). Looking forward to seeing everyone in person!

Title: Kotlin Notebooks: Data Visualization for Developers
Time: 5:30 pm

Summary: Already getting shivers hearing the term, data-driven decision? Wrestling through complex SQL queries just to find yourself struggling to create the simplest charts? The world of data science is increasingly relevant to developers, yet navigating its complexities can often be a struggle. Why not, instead, code your way to insightful data representations? Notebooks provide an interactive environment for combining code, visualizations, and documentation. While Python Notebooks are widely used by data scientists, Kotlin developers now have a powerful alternative: Kotlin Notebooks.
Buckle up, let's grab some data from APIs as we used and then keep coding building tables and Buckle up, let's grab some data from APIs as we used and then keep coding building tables and pie charts, without the need of changing tools or even language.
