GTT Holiday Special: Exploring Kotlin

We are happy to invite you to celebrate the holidays and the end of the year with us at Grab. We will be having our Grab Tech Talk at our brand new office. We have decided to join forces with the Kotlin Group to shake things up at the end of the year.

"Kotlin at Grab. Getting started" by Kim Ruslan
This talk will give some insights on how the Android team at Grab uses particular features of this language in our day to day work also and how we have gone about adopting this language. Finally, there will be a couple of words about past KotlinConf 2017.
