Talk:
Bottom-Up Code-Sharing with Kotlin Multiplatform
Russell Wolf

Kotlin Multiplatform enables sharing logic and architecture across platforms while still interacting with each platform’s native APIs. We’ll talk through what this looks like by walking through a sample application. We’ll highlight helpful patterns for both production and test code, as well as available tools and dependencies. Once we’re done you’ll be ready to leverage Kotlin’s code-sharing capabilities in your own projects, and never need to write the same logic twice ever again.

Raffle:

Thanks to support from Jetbrains, we'll be raffling off a one-year license to a Jetbrains IDE of your choice. Always wanted to try out Intellij IDEA Ultimate? Or maybe you hope to play with the Kotlin Native support in CLion or AppCode? Now's your chance!

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.
