Kotlin Programming Language - Develop with pleasure

The Kotlin programming language has surely gain attention of java community lately.

As a JVM based statically typed language, developed by the well-know JetBrains company, its main traits consist of:

• full interoperability with Java

• statically typed system

• concise and pragmatic

• better type inference

• works with Java 6 (Android) and beyond

• compiles to JS

• embrace the functional paradigm, but the mix of OO and FP is the real target

• an increasing comunity

In this presentation (which is intended to be part of a series) the presenter is going to provide a gentle introduction to one of the latest JVM languages, Kotlin, from the simple hello world application to most importand language features to Kotlin ecosystem.

All of this explained with code snippets to make things clear.

This presentation is going to pave the foundation for the next ones in the series - for which we plan to present kotlin in REAL action (corutines, Kotlin on the web and kotlin/SpringBoot = a marriage made in heaven).

We are looking forward to seeing you there and enjoy together the kotlin adventure.
