Introducing Kotlin & Migrating from Java to Kotlin in Enterprise

There will be 2 talks for our first meetup followed by pizza!
Special thanks to Teckro for sponsoring the event and providing the venue!

Introducing Kotlin by Tom Prior

This talk will be an intro talk to the Kotlin Limerick group and also
to Kotlin itself and its ecosystem. It will give a high level overview of
the language all the exciting things that are happening in the Kotlin ecosystem from Kotin on the JVM to Kotlin Native.

Migrating from Java to Kotlin in Enterprise by Tiernan Scully

This talk will focus on how Teckro moved from using Java 8 to Kotlin in our spring boot microservices platform.
We'll touch on how it happened, the benefits gained by switching and the lessons we learned along the way.
