Exploring Kotlin - A Walkthrough for Developers

Kotlin is quickly becoming one of the favorite JVM-languages among developers. In this meetup, we'll walk you through the language and its features and show you some of the possibilities that Kotlin gives you. We'll explore how Kotlin differs from Java, its core language features, how you can get started and more!

Do you use Lombok? If so, we'll show you code examples showing how Kotlin offers several of Lombok's features. If you are a Java-developer and considering to give Kotlin a try or even implement your next big project on Kotlin, then join us this time!

The meetup is organized in cooperation with Oslo Kotlin Meetup and includes speakers from both communities.

Pizza and drinks are served at 17.00.

Speakers:
Marie Katrine Ekeberg - Oslo Kotlin Meetup
Jarle Hansen - Oslo Kotlin Meetup
