Online Only: Kotlin Office Hours - International Women's Day edition

Dear fellow Kotlinguists,

This Thursday's meetup, the International Women's Day Edition will not be held at Wayfair as initially planned, due to stricter guidelines that deal with recent COVID-19 concerns in the Boston area.

However,
We still will have the meetup and you can still enjoy our two wonderful speakers Alicia and Lauren. It will be held entirely online. You can join the it by opening this link:

See you all in cyberspace!

!Have a happy Kotlin!

Talks:
Modern android networking with Kotlin and Coroutines
Lauren Darcey

Covers where things are at/stable vs experimental, on retrofit, room, viewmodelscope, etc. Where the value is for using the newer patterns vs legacy ways we tried to address main safety before.

Creating web applications in Kotlin.
Alicia Perez

We all know Kotlin is mainly used for Android development but are you curious about how it can be used to build a web application? In this brief talk, you will be introduced to JetBrain's Ktor framework and a walk-through creation of a small web app that has different endpoints and uses template files for the frontend.

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? Now's your chance!
