Kotlin/Native for Android developers

Join us in the collaboration with GDG Toronto Android!

Kotlin/Native is used by Kotlin Multiplatform when producing a library for iOS (among other native targets). When Tadeas moved from writing Android apps in Java to writing iOS apps in Objective-C, he was lost and desperately tried to find commonalities between JVM and Native, to ease the pain.

In this talk he'll take us on a journey through the native world. We'll look at the main differences from JVM, how linking works and some best practices to keep in mind when working with binaries.

Speaker

Tadeas Kriz - Touchlab (Senior Mobile Developer)

Tadeas is a Senior Mobile Developer at Touchlab, experimenting with Kotlin’s compiler plugins. Starting as a PHP developer and then moving to .NET desktop apps later, he finally landed in mobile development with Android first and then falling in love with iOS. Fortunately Kotlin Multiplatform happened, opening the path to doing both mobile platforms. Do NOT feed after midnight!
