Two Kotlin Presentations

Intro to Kotlin for Java Developers
This is a short session which introduces Kotlin to people familiar with Java, but not Kotlin. It covers just the basics, but with a focus on the language features of Kotlin which solve specific pain points which will be familiar to Java developers such as nullability, optional parameters, collection operations, and data classes.

Functional Kotlin
A brief introduction to functional programming constructs in the Kotlin language. The audience will walk away with an idea of how they can use functional programming ideas in their code today to make their code and tests cleaner and easier to understand.

A brief introduction to functional programming constructs in the Kotlin language. We will explore some basic functional programming principles and look at Kotlin code samples which demonstrate these principles. We will learn about the Kotlin standard functions, and what they can be used for. We will also look at how to test functional Kotlin. The audience will walk away with an idea of how they can use functional programming ideas in their code today to make their code and tests cleaner and easier to understand. This talk is designed for novices to functional programming, Kotlin, or both, although even seasoned veterans may discover a few tricks to hone their technique.
