Multiplatform Kotlin; featuring the Stepdown Rule
Paul Reilly

This talk provides an update on the Argus adventure in normalizing streaming movies and TV shows to a clean mobile app. You will learn how multi-platform Kotlin is making great strides with a very brief demo of a Kotlin multi-platform conference app running on IOS and Android. The Argus clean design will be shown as well as an update on the overall project status. The talk will also highlight a Clean Code feature, the Stepdown Rule for organizing code in Kotlin.

What is this Meetup about?

Kotlin Office Hours is a monthly meetup where software developers of all backgrounds who want to learn Kotlin or improve their Kotlin skills can come, share their experiences and get help with their Kotlin projects.

Kotlin is an open-source programming language developed by JetBrains which has seen an upswell of interest since it's 1.0 release in 2016. It now supports not only JVM but JavaScript and LLVM architectures as well. We will have experts speaking about Kotlin and its use in these various architectures, showing their knowledge and the projects that they are working on.

Who is it for?

This meetup is for both beginners and more advanced Kotlin developers who are interested in learning more about Kotlin and in how other developers are using it in their work and projects. Any developer with an interest in Kotlin is encouraged to join this meetup.
