What is Kotlin? An introduction for Kotlin Newcomers.

apsa personnel concepts gmbh

It’s back to School time and so we’d like to give all the Kotlin newcomers a chance for getting a taste of Kotlin. You will hear the basics of the Kotlin programming language in an introductory talk, no Kotlin experience is required, Java is highly recommended, or at least some other general purpose object-oriented language (C#, JavaScript, Scala, Ruby, ...)

Together we will go through some simple coding examples, so-called Koans, to get a feeling of the language.
