Lean Kotlin Online

Do you want to learn Kotlin, or build a project using Kotlin?

Lean Kotlin is a shared workshop environment where attendees can learn Kotlin by following a range of self-guided tutorials OR can pair with other attendees to build out a Kotlin app, web service, library, etc.

This is our 4th Lean Kotlin and this time we're going to try running it online so that venue sizes and RSVP waitlists don't get in the way, and that people from outside of Melbourne can attend.

What you'll need?
Slack - Sign up at http://slack.melbjvm.com & then visit the #leankotlin channel
Zoom - Video + Screensharing Client https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting
Laptop / Text Editor / Web Browser - whilst it's possible you could run Kotlin Koans & Slack in a mobile browser, it would be very cumbersome!

What have we been working on?

• Kotlin Koans
  Most people attending Lean Kotlin are new to Kotlin, and set up their laptops to work through the Kotlin Koans which teach Kotlin fundamentals.
  If you've missed out on previous Lean Kotlin's, not to worry. You'll have people on hand to assist getting you up to speed.

• Building a service with Spring Boot and Spring Fu to help run Future Lean Kotlin events
  Spring Fu is a Kotlin DSL for Spring apps that allows you to define a spring app without using Annotations or Configuration classes. In the last Lean Kotlin, we started gutting the example Spring Fu build file to build a standalone Reactive (Webflux) app, that would provide help attendees register for lean kotlin on meetup

• Create-react-kotlin-app
  Creating a react app using Kotlin and comparing it to create-react-app

plus there is a desire to try out lots of Kotlin based frameworks. Feel free to bring your own project along
