<p>En la sesión, abordarán qué les aportan dos tecnologías como Flutter y Kotlin en desarrollo multiplataforma nativo, teniendo en cuenta que Dart es el lenguaje detrás de Flutter y Kotlin es un lenguaje que ha logrado una increíble comunidad de desarrolladores de Android (siendo el lenguaje oficial de Android desde hace tres años): Pros y contras Cuando elegir una frente a otra Proyectos donde hemos utilizado estas tecnologías y resultado Resumen de la situación actual de cada SDK y su representación en aplicaciones de gran magnitud.</p>
p>Nacido en Madrid y criado bajo olivos en mitad de Extremadura, Daniel lleva 4 años desarrollando aplicaciones de Android en Worldline Iberia. Estos últimos años además de Android ha tocado iOS, realizando aplicaciones multiplataforma con Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile y Flutter. En su ratos libres le gusta tocar la guitarra con su grupo, el boxeo sin contacto y, cuando se podía, ir al Metropolitano al ver al Atleti.</p>

        <subject>Getting ready for Declarative UIs with Unidirectional Data Flow using Kotlin Coroutines</subject>
        <url>https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/declarative_ready_unidirectionaldataflow_with_coroutines/</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Unidirectional Data Flow (UDF) is a powerful technique that enhances our Reactive apps to work deterministically. Synchronising our views with fresh data was never an easy task to accomplish. For this same reason, there are mechanisms that support us to make that possible. Surely callbacks were a thing in the past, however, they were an antipattern themselves due to the lack of readability. Now we don't need to deal with them any more thanks to Kotlin Coroutines. Getting ready for Declarative UIs with Kotlin Coroutines and friends is indeed feasible, now we could use suspend functions, Flow and in the end StateFlow would make our Reactive apps ready for Declarative UIs. Let’s define a single entry point, receive data, transform it into a state, and render each state. Let’s get our apps ready for a Declarative UI world on Android.</p>
<p>You'll learn how to use Kotlin Coroutines and friends from the Kotlin Coroutines library to take advantage of really efficient and easy to read code. How to handle its lifecycle without being compromised to a specific external Android framework, which would enable your code to be prepared for more purposes than Android only apps.</p>

<p>This talk is gonna be about the scenery framework, a framework we have developed for visualising geometry and large volumetric data (TB+) using Kotlin and Vulkan or OpenGL. Coroutines, Kotlin's conciseness and syntactic sugar enabled the efficient codebase of scenery to integrate with popular image processing tools, and support Virtual Reality rendering, both on headsets and on distributed multi-projector systems like CAVEs. We'll show code, demos, lessons learned, and demonstrate how we use the framework in a visualisation software for end users, sciview, that we have also developed.</p>

<p>Spring Framework helped us through dark times and is still a very active and helpful project. But is it the only option for doing any kind of web projects? There are many new frameworks around and they have interesting approaches. Especially when we use Kotlin, we might get better Developer Experiences and much better performance results.</p>
<p>This talk is about showing you some interesting alternatives and hopefully helps you with finding a good fit for your next project</p>
<p>Let's have a look at a real life borrowed REST endpoint, written in Kotlin (dahhh) using Spring, Ktor, Micronaut and Jooby. We'll compare the efforts, timings and developer experience and collect pros and cons for that next project planning.</p>

<p>In this talk, I’ll demo how you can migrate a traditional sample Spring Boot application written in Kotlin to coroutines one step at a time via a hands-on demo.</p>
<p>From Wikipedia, Reactive Programming is 'a declarative programming paradigm concerned with data streams and the propagation of change.</p>
<p>The programming model is complex to master. It requires a lot of experience to feel comfortable with it. However, there’s no denying that it fits the cloud ecosystem perfectly. Since on-premises infrastructure is oversized, running a program that executes a couple of additional CPU cycles won’t change anything. On the other hand, you will pay for them if you host the same program on third-party infrastructure. Depending on the number of those cycles, and the number of nodes the program runs on, it can make a huge difference in your monthly bill.</p>

<p>Kotlin Multiplatform is an alpha feature that you can use to share code between different platforms. Even if it is in alpha stage, it is already possible to start using it in production applications.</p>
<p>In this talk, I will share the discussion that led us to Kotlin Multiplatform, and the following processes we put in place to start using it in production for an Android, iOS, and backend project. I will show you what parts of the code you can (gradually) start to share and how to integrate with existing standalone projects.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Developing for multi-platform is picking up speed as the Kotlin Multi-Platform gets better with every release. That mostly means that shared logic is being written in Kotlin which can then be targeted to many target platforms. Up until recently it wasn't easy to develop UI for multiple platforms on the Desktop side. That is changing with the introduction of Compose for Desktop, which will allow building application UI for Linux, macOS and Windows.</p>
<p>In this session you will get to understand what is Compose for Desktop, how does it work and how can you jump right into building for multiple platforms opening up the vast domains other than the mobile.</p>

<p>Http4k is a lightweight HTTP library written in Kotlin that enables serving and consuming of HTTP services in a functional and testable way. Unlike many other libraries and frameworks which have complicated abstractions and workflows, http4k captures the essence of communication over HTTP with few simple concepts. In this session I will explain and demo the core concepts in http4k by live coding from scratch http server for noughts and crosses game.</p>
<p>Target audience: Software developers with couple years of experience using a programming language like Java, Kotlin or Scala.</p>
<p>Dmitry has been programming since DOS times. He spent the last 15 years or so in Java lands most recently working with server-side Kotlin.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Dependency management in the Kotlin and in the JVM ecosystems is great, especially for Gradle users, but there's room for improvement.</p>
<p>Some tasks, like upgrading dependencies to the right versions, are still tedious and time consuming. There's also compatibility gotchas because of the lack of metadata.</p>
<p>This talk will start with a mention of the different problems that come with dependency management in real-world projects. Then it'll show how the developer tool refreshVersions (MIT licensed) tackles some of these issues in Gradle projects, saving a lot of time when upgrading dependencies.</p>
<p>Finally, I'll talk about what the future can be for dependency management, be it from new features in future Gradle versions, or tools or conventions that the community can create to improve the status quo.</p>

<p>In this talk, we’ll discuss what the Kotlin team is working on, the priorities we have, and the additions you can expect in the language.</p>
<p>The JVM platform is evolving, and Kotlin is keeping up with the new features as they become available. This includes the features introduced by the upcoming Project Valhalla and JVM support for sealed classes and records. In this talk, we’ll discuss how these changes affect Kotlin as a language, and how the Kotlin team finds a balance between drawing on the power of the new JVM versions, supporting the same functionality in older versions, and providing a smooth transition. We'll also talk about how you, the community, can influence the design and evolution of the language!</p>

<p>At Instil we use JetBrains Space as the primary mechanism for coaching developers during virtual training. Space provides integrated support for managing projects, repositories, documents and discussions. To ensure privacy we create a dedicated instance for each training delivery, which initially led to a lot of manual configuration. We have addressed this by using Kotlin, Spring Boot and the Space HTTP API to automatically configure instances. This talk will walk you through some of the code we created. In addition to the Space API we will be covering OAuth, Spring WebFlux, Functional Patterns and Reactive Design.</p>

<p>Kotlin ermöglicht Funktionale Programmierung. Durch Funktionen als first-class-citizens und eine prägnante und flexible Syntax unterstützt die Sprache dieses Paradigma grundlegend. Für weiterführende funktionale Programmierung fehlen der Standardbibliothek jedoch gängige Funktionen, Datentypen und höhere Abstraktionsmöglichkeiten. Diese Lücke möchte die Library Arrow füllen. Der Vortrag beleuchtet die Vorteile von Kotlin für Funktionale Programmierung und was mit der Arrow darüber hinaus noch möglich ist.</p>

<p>Spring Boot is a common way to start almost any back-end web application or REST API; but what if you'd prefer to go without Spring Boot and without Spring altogether? Is it possible at all, and more importantly, is it painless? We will work through a common example and see together.</p>
<p>For this talk, a basic knowledge of Kotlin is preferred. After the session, Maryna will share a link to the repository with all the relevant code, so you can fork it and play with it on your own.</p>

<p>Ktor is a web application framework written from the ground up in Kotlin and uses coroutines. Whether you want to create a website, an HTTP back-end or a RESTful system, Ktor provides you with the functionality needed to do these things. In addition, by incorporating a client, you can also use it not only for making HTTP requests, but also as part of a micro-service set-up. In this talk we're going to take a brief tour of Ktor and see all it has to offer.</p>

<p>Kotlin is growing really fast and new tools and libraries are available to code with this language.</p>
<p>As an Android developer, I've always wanted to be able to do a full stack project, connecting my mobile apps with a server, and this is where Ktor came to the rescue. Documentation is there and also many disconnected examples, but when we want to get into business, we need a maintainable and clean architecture if we want to succeed.</p>

<p>Kotlin (/ˈkɒtlɪn/)[2] is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference. Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of its standard library depends on the Java Class Library,[3] but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise. Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript or native code (via LLVM). Language development costs are borne by JetBrains, while the Kotlin Foundation protects the Kotlin trademark.</p>

<p>In this talk, we will be going through how far have we come with existing UI tools and what challenges it presented and why something like Jetpack Compose is needed.
We will learn how Jetpack Compose accelerates Android App development by creating a complex app UI in a few lines of codes. While making app we will go through core concepts of Jetpack Compose and how it handles state management, rendering, performance and how Kotlin compliments compose.</p>
<p>At last, we will see how Compose can be adopted to our current projects and how soon we can be ready for production apps with Compose.</p>

<p>When JSR 371 was dropped from the scope of Java EE, Oracle made the decision to allow the Community to finalize the specification. It quickly became known as the "Community JSR" and the slogan "@Controller to the Community" grew out of it.</p>
<p>All the Java EE 8 specifications were transferred to Eclipse Foundation and Jakarta EE, MVC was once again left behind. We managed to release MVC 1.0 through the JCP and has since moved over to Jakarta EE as well and released Jakarta MVC 1.1 through the Jakarta EE Specification Process. And we don't stop there, these days, Jakarta MVC 2.0 is on its way out. Maybe it is time for a new slogan? "The Specification that Never Dies!"?</p>
<p>In this talk, I will take you through this journey and show all aspects of Jakarta MVC 2.0 in code. You don't want to miss this!</p>

<p>Very many good books on OO design have advised us to choose delegation over inheritance. Yet, most developers using OO languages like Java use inheritance predominantly compared to delegation. Part of the reason is the lack of support for delegation when compared to inheritance. In this presentation we will see how Kotlin has first class support for delegation. We will look at how delegation helps us better model relationships and take a look at some usecases of applying delegates in Kotlin.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>This time the topic will revolve around our favourite Kotlin, or more specifically: Going Reactive with Spring & Kotlin
There's been a lot of buzz around reactive programming in recent years. Spring, being the dominating framework in the JVM world, didn't disappoint and introduced its reactive-stack web framework WebFlux in Spring 5. Together with this, they also saw the rise of Kotlin coming and they introduced dedicated Kotlin support for the Spring 5 with the goal to make Kotlin a first-class citizen of the ecosystem. In this talk we'll have a look at some of the results this collaboration has led. We'll have a look at a good old blocking Spring MVC service and transform it into a fully reactive one using WebFlux, Kotlin and coroutines.</p>

<p>When designing a library, minimizing your API surface - the types, methods, properties, and functions you expose to the outside world - is a great idea. This doesn't apply to just libraries: it's a consideration you should make for every module in a multi-module project. In this talk, we'll look at all the ways that Kotlin lets you get your visibility just right.</p>

<p>Quarkus is a Kubernetes Native Java stack tailored for OpenJDK HotSpot and GraalVM.
It flips your assumption about how fast and small a JVM-based application can be.
Quarkus enables applications to boot super fast and occupy tiny memory and disk spaces compared to the equivalent applications developed with traditional Java/JavaEE frameworks. In addition to that, Quarkus provides a range of tools and features that make writing, testing, building and deploying applications easy and fun.</p>
<p>During this session we will use Kotlin to write a microservice with Quarkus to demonstrate its cloud-native power.</p>

<p>Wouldn't it be nice to get notified if you're accidentally breaking your users' code? A tool to inspect the binary API of your Kotlin/Java code can help you exactly with that. In this talk, we will see some of those tools and how that simplifies the life of library & SDK developers.</p>

But, how do we use them, how do they work and what are good use cases?  In this talk, we will explore basic to advanced features provided by the coroutines library. We'll look at when to use state flow, shared flow, and every type of Channel. We'll explore lesser-known features and their use cases such as selectors and actors. Did you know combining Flows uses selectors under the hood? What are they? Mohit will share his learnings from his extensive experience in using these constructs!</p>

<p>We’ve been using JDBC to access our SQL databases for decades, but JDBC is a blocking API. Blocking API’s can be problematic at times, and after years of promises, a ‘non blocking JDBC’ is on the horizon. When your application queries a database using JDBC, the thread used to make that query blocks: It simply waits while your database processes this request. It’s simple. It’s easy to reason about, but ultimately it can be a big waste of threads, and with that memory and CPU. For NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Cassandra non-blocking drivers are well established, but for SQL databases we’re generally stuck with JDBC i.e. blocking threads. There has been talk about some kind of ‘non-blocking’ JDBC for years, and finally it is happening.</p>

        <url>https://www.online.droidcon.com/agenda-dcamericas</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Many Android developers are working in Kotlin nowadays. On Android, your Kotlin source code gets compiled to Java byte code, and eventually to Dalvik bytecode. How is the result different compared to starting from Java source code then? Is it compatible? Can it be as compact? Is it as secure?</p>
<p>We'll look at the differences. We've extended our open source code optimizer ProGuard and our protection software DexGuard to fully support Kotlin. We'll now share our experiences and point out what can be important in your apps and in your libraries. We'll demonstrate a new open source tool to view the
Kotlin metadata hiding inside your apps. We'll show how to optimize and obfuscate Kotlin libraries in such a way that they remain compatible in other Kotlin projects.</p>
<p>Armed with this knowledge, you'll better understand your own Kotlin projects and you can tune them to create more compact and more secure software.</p>

        <subject>Why Exception Handling with Kotlin Coroutines is hard and how to master it</subject>
        <url>https://www.online.droidcon.com/agenda-dcamericas</url>
        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Getting the “happy path” right with Kotlin Coroutines is pretty straightforward. On the other hand, handling exceptions appropriately when something goes wrong is not that trivial.</p>
<p>In this talk, you will learn about the reasons for the complexity of exception handling with Kotlin Coroutines and about all things you need to consider to appropriately deal with occurring exceptions.
You will learn when you should use a conventional try-catch clause, and when you should install a CoroutineExceptionHandler instead.
You will also learn about the special properties of top-level Coroutines when it comes to exception handling and how they differ when they are starting with launch and async.
Furthermore, you will learn all about the exception handling peculiarities of the scoping functions coroutineScope{} and supervisorScope{} and why you should re-throw CancellationExceptions to avoid subtle errors.</p>
<p>This talk is for developers that are already familiar with the basics of Kotlin Coroutines but still struggle to understand how exception handling works in detail. By the end of this talk, you will have a better understanding of how exceptions are treated by the Coroutines machinery and how you can handle them appropriately.</p>

<p>Kotlin hilft uns, mit unseren bekannten Tools Software besser zu entwickeln, die im Code prägnant ist und weniger Fehler enthält. An vielen Stellen versucht es Designfehler von Java auszumerzen und bringt neue Programmiermodelle mit, die uns unterstützen Probleme mit neuem Handwerkszeug zu meistern. Dabei ist Kotlin dafür ausgelegt, sich nahtlos in bestehende Java-Projekte zu integrieren und selbst auf älteren 1.6 JVMs zu laufen. Ob Delegations, Reified Types… wir werden uns anschauen, welche Kotlin Features ein Java Entwickler kennen sollte und wie sie uns weiterhelfen. Dabei nehmen wir auch das aktuelle Kotlin Update mit Coroutinen und Inline Classes unter die Lupe. Der Vortrag richtet sich sowohl an Kotlin-Neueinsteiger, als auch an Fortgeschrittene, die sich für die Neuerungen der Updates interessieren.</p>

<p>When did you learn to program? Do you remember the child-like thrill of typing in some text in the command line and making the computer do something? The feeling of endless possibility?</p>
<p>Programming might not be magic, but it can definitely feel magical. But the more magic you need to scrape away, the harder it gets. Let’s face it, programming is hard. Once we’ve been doing it for a while, perhaps with a dash of Stockholm Syndrome, we forget how much pain growth we have gone through to get where we are.</p>
<p>So what might you know, but have forgotten that you ever learned it? In this talk, I will share my experiences of working on a software project as a freshly-minted software engineer. I will detail what I struggled with, where everyone around me just kind of “knew”. At the end of this talk, you will have a noob perspective on how fundamental some software fundamentals, or “knowns”, really are.</p>

<p>Spring Boot, the convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults to make application development on the JVM not just fly, but pleasant! Spring Boot aims to address the common functional and non-functional requirements that gate quickly moving to production. The framework is as clean as it gets, wouldn't it be nice if the language matched its elegance?</p>
<p>Kotlin, the productivity-focused language from our friends at JetBrains, takes up the slack to make the experience leaner, cleaner and even more pleasant!</p>
<p>The Spring and Kotlin teams have worked hard to make sure that Kotlin and Spring Boot are a first-class experience for all developers trying to get to production, faster and safer. Come for the Spring and stay for the Bootiful Kotlin.</p>

<p>Since the early days of mobile that we keep seeing new frameworks being designed to overcome one of the biggest challenges: * How can I develop for both Android and iOS? Although it’s initial promises, when we talk about performance, maintainability or even customization we keep discarding these solutions and we always choose native. Fast forward to the present, and now we have two new languages: Android is Kotlin first and iOS, Swift. And if you put them side by side you can see a lot of similarities between both what will ease switching between one to the other if you have to develop for both platforms. But what I told that you could just develop in Kotlin and run it seamlessly on all devices? Here comes Kotlin Multiplatform!</p>

<p>Kotlin традиционно считается языком, созданным для мобильной разработки. Но придуман он был совсем для других целей. Разработчики не могли все предсказать - инструмент получился куда более универсальным, чем ожидалось. На нем можно делать даже библиотеки и приложения для науки! Об этом и поговорим.</p>
<p>Расскажу, как использовать мультиплатформу для науки и о науке создания мультиплатформных приложений за пределами сектора мобильной разработки. С примерами!</p>

<p>For several years now, that we’ve been trying to find new solutions on how we could develop a single project and run it on all platforms. We’ve been seeing all types of solutions: some are web-based, others require you to learn a new language, and others even may require that you pay a monthly fee to use. It also comes with the drawback that all your UI depends on the framework implementation. So, if there’s a native update you’ll need to wait until someone rewrites the widgets for you to update your app.</p>
<p>Kotlin multiplatform gives us a new solution. It focuses on sharing your business logic across all platforms, leaving the UI to be implemented natively. Since it’s Kotlin, you can take full advantage of its language features - concise, safe, etc. Moreover, if you’re coming from android you might already be familiarised with Kotlin and even if you’re an iOS developer you’ll see that it’s quite similar to Swift.</p>

<p>With Kotlin we are able to write concise, expressive and safe code. Sounds like clean code, doesn’t it? During this presentation we will recap what clean code is, we will highlight the importance of defining meaningful names and how to write clean functions and classes. Finally we will be able to learn more about the advantages of immutability and how to handle the errors in Kotlin. By the end of the session, you will have a better understanding of what clean code means and you will learn a series of tips and tricks ready to be applied in your code.</p>

<p>Asynchronous programming is hard. JVM users have traditionally had to rely on directly using thread pools, or integrating third party libraries like RxJava to accomplish asynchronous tasks.</p>
<p>Let's explore how the coroutines implementation in the Kotlin language can make asynchronous programming much more programmer friendly. In particular, how it produces more readable and easier to
maintain code. We'll compare it with RxJava and see how we can go back and forth between the two.</p>

<p>Hamar Digirama inviterer til Kotlin-kveld i avslappende omgivelser på Hamars koseligste ølbar, Gullkorn.</p>
<p>Kotlin er en russisk øy nær St. Petersburg innerst i Finskebukta, men også et populært programmeringsspråk på JVM-en.</p>
<p>Kotlin ble lansert i 2011 og er ifølge skaperne designet for å være en bedre versjon av Java.</p>
<p>I fjor fortalte Google at Kotlin nå var blitt deres foretrukne programmeringsspråk på Android. Her lokalt på Hamar utvikler større selskaper som Eika og Norsk Tipping integrasjonstjenester i språket.</p>
<p>Ønsker du å få en smakebit og er litt nysgjerrig på om Kotlin er noe for deg? Vi har 2 dyktige utviklere og foredragsholdere som gir en intro til Kotlin samt tips til gode biblioteker du burde ta i bruk.</p>

<p>How do I create libraries for Kotlin Multiplatform projects? Kotlin lets you share common code between different target platforms, but by default only a limit set of platform-agnostic APIs are available to the code. As Multiplatform development really starts to take off, there must also be a robust ecosystem of third party libraries available to application developers.</p>
<p>I’ll talk through what it looks like to create such a library, drawing from my experience building and maintaining one of my own starting in the early days of Kotlin/Native. We'll talk about how to find shared abstractions around different platform APIs, how to handle the fast-paced evolution of this environment, and what this all felt like as a first-time library developer. When we're done, you’ll be ready to leverage the growing ecosystem as well as make your own contributions.</p>

<p>Kotlin Mutliplatform for native mobile is maturing, but it's still in the early adopter phase. That means things have been moving fast, and the docs out in the ecosystem can be confusing to navigate. However, many orgs are exploring KMP and putting KMP into production. The tech is ready today. We at Touchlab are heavily involved in both library and tool development, as well as working with industry leaders on implementing KMP solutions at scale. In this talk, I'll go over the state-of-the-art, what tools and libraries we like to use, and how to get started both with application and library development.</p>

<p>Android is now Kotlin-first, but most of the existing libraries and SDKs were written in Java. Despite the effort that the Firebase team has put in coming up with KTX libraries for their Android SDK, there are still a few Kotlin features that have been missed out.</p>
<p>In this session, Rosário will talk about some of the features that are present in the KTX libraries and the features that you can implement yourself to get cleaner and more idiomatic Kotlin code.</p>
<p>You’ll learn how Sequences, Sealed Classes, Coroutines and Asynchronous Flow can provide you with a kotlin-first experience when working with Firebase’s Android Java SDK.</p>

<p>Thump thump… thump thump… thump thump…</p>
<p>Most Android developers are familiar with Kotlin and use it every day with great success (and joy!). But the bloodline of the language extends well beyond Android! From cross-platform development, to the desktop, to the web, to backends, Kotlin’s pedigree as a versatile language puts all us developers in a great position to leverage existing knowledge for a variety of tasks outside a mobile engineer’s comfort zone.</p>
<p>In this session we’ll use Kotlin, Ktor and coroutines to write a backend for our splendid fictional mobile app product: PushBeat. After learning the basics of a RESTful API, we’ll see what Ktor takes care of for us, what features may be helpful for our mobile projects, and how little we actually need to learn to be a productive backend engineer in no time!</p>

<p>Setting up CI/CD pipeline should be the first thing an Android developer should do when starting a new project. Think automatic versioning, verification of pull requests, completing JIRA tasks, and automated deploys to Firebase App Distribution or Google Play. Yet many projects are still doing all of that manually. Is it hard to setup? Or too expensive? I will show you a free, easy-to-configure and flexible way with GitHub Actions and Kotlin scripts.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Writing a compiler plugin is an uncharted area for many. There is very little documentation. It requires a lot of scaffolding. With the introduction of Arrow Meta, writing compiler plugins just got easier. It's a library that provides a functional API for creating plugins.</p>
<p>In this talk, we’ll learn about how to write and test compiler plugins with Arrow Meta. This library provides an API for source transformations, automatic code refactoring, and much more. We’ll look at main use cases from type classes, comprehensions, and lenses that are made possible with Arrow Meta. We’ll also look at how to test each use case</p>
<p>Under the hood, Arrow Meta supplements the compiler by hooking into the various compilation phases. We’ll look at the architecture of Arrow Meta and how this works. We’ll also explore the potential Kotlin multiplatform support. By the end of this talk, you will have a tool that you could use to create plugins.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Many Android developers are working in Kotlin nowadays. On Android, your Kotlin source code gets compiled to Java byte code, and eventually to Dalvik bytecode. How is the result different compared to starting from Java source code then? Is it compatible? Can it be as compact? Is it as secure?</p>
<p>We'll look at the differences. We've extended our open source code optimizer ProGuard and our protection software DexGuard to fully support Kotlin. We'll now share our experiences and point out what can be important in your apps and in your libraries. We'll demonstrate our new open source tool to view the
Kotlin metadata hiding inside your apps. We'll show how to optimize and obfuscate Kotlin libraries in such a way that they remain compatible in other Kotlin projects.</p>
<p>Armed with this knowledge, you'll better understand your own Kotlin projects and you can tune them to create more compact and more secure software.</p>

        <description>
            <![CDATA[
<p>Getting the “happy path” right with Kotlin Coroutines is pretty straightforward. On the other hand, handling exceptions appropriately when something goes wrong is not that trivial.</p>
<p>In this talk, you will learn about the reasons for the complexity of exception handling with Kotlin Coroutines and about all things you need to consider to appropriately deal with occurring exceptions.</p>
<p>You will learn when you should use a conventional try-catch clause, and when you should install a CoroutineExceptionHandler instead.</p>
<p>You will also learn about the special properties of top-level Coroutines when it comes to exception handling and how they differ when they are starting with launch and async.Furthermore, you will learn all about the exception handling peculiarities of the scoping functions coroutineScope{} and supervisorScope{} and why you should re-throw CancellationExceptions to avoid subtle errors.</p>
<p>This talk is for developers that are already familiar with the basics of Kotlin Coroutines but still struggle to understand how exception handling works in detail. By the end of this talk, you will have a better understanding of how exceptions are treated by the Coroutines machinery and how you can handle them appropriately.</p>

<p>Being massive TypeScript fans, it would always be their language of choice when working on JavaScript platforms. They didn't feel the drive to switch to other languages that transpile to JS such as Fable (F#), Scala.js, or even KotlinJS, as they always saw Kotlin on the JVM as the solution to a problem, the problem being Java.</p>
<p>In this talk the dynamic duo will go out of their comfort zone and recreate a Breakout clone for the browser using KotlinJS.</p>

<p>KOTLIN is the new star amongst programming languages. Multi-paradigm, running on JVM, JavaScript, Android, iOS, and native runtimes, Kotlin conquers one platform after another.</p>
<p>But the true story behind the success of Kotlin is developer convenience. Kotlin is designed to be as much like Java as possible where it makes sense, and as different from Java as possible where the design choices of Java get in the way.</p>
<p>Although that legacy seems officially denied, others may describe Kotlin as the best mix between Java and Ruby.</p>

<p>Viele Kotlin-Entwickler haben vorher mit Java gearbeitet, oft jahrelang. Und am Ende ist genau diese Erfahrung der Grund, warum Kotlin so viel Zuspruch bekommt: Vieles ist deutlich einfacher und bequemer. Aber trotz der bekannten und geliebten Features von Kotlin halten zahlreiche Entwickler an den bekannten Konzepten aus der Java-Welt fest, oft unbewusst. Sie sind fast schon gefangen in Javas Denkmustern. Das hat Methode, denn was man einmal gelernt hat, verlernt man so schnell nicht wieder. Aber um sich vollständig auf Kotlin einzulassen, muss man sich auch trauen, Dinge zu verlernen …</p>

<p>Mit Kotlins Koroutinen wurde das Entwickeln asynchroner Programme in Kotlin stark vereinfacht. In seinem Talk zeigt Wolfram Rittmeyer, wie Koroutinen funktionieren und veranschaulicht wichtige Konzepte wie CoroutineContext, CoroutineScope, Cancellation und Exception Handling. Auch das von Jetbrains hochgehaltene Konzept der Structured Concurrency wird behandelt.</p>
<p>Am Ende des Vortrags kennen Sie die Vorzüge (und auch die Nachteile) von Koroutinen im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Konzepten und können Koroutinen direkt in Ihren Kotlin-Projekten einsetzen.</p>

<p>Contract Based Testing mal etwas anders – mit Consumer Driven Contracts (CDC) wird die Herangehensweise der API-Definition umgedreht und auf das Wesentliche reduziert. Nicht der Dienstanbieter sagt, was er alles kann. Jeder Client definiert, was er braucht! Eine Möglichkeit dafür ist die Beschreibung der gewünschten Interaktionen und das Testen derselben mittels PACT. Werner Eberling zeigt Ihnen anhand live vorgeführter Beispiele, welche Idee hinter CDC steckt. Sie erfahren, wie PACT-Erzeugung und -Verifikation mit Kotlin von statten gehen, welche Vorteile dieser Ansatz hat und was ihn von einer reinen Schnittstellendokumentation à la Swagger unterscheidet.</p>

<p>Unit Testing in Kotlin macht Spaß und ist gleichzeitig knifflig. Wir können stark von Kotlins mächtigen Sprachfeatures profitieren und damit lesbare und kompakte Unit Tests schreiben. Aber um überhaupt idiomatischen Kotlin-Testcode zu schreiben, benötigen wir ein bestimmtes Test-Setup.</p>
<p>Dieser Vortrag behandelt das nötige Wissen um Test Lifecycles, die Handhabung von Test Fixtures, die Herausforderungen beim Mocken, gute Assertion Libraries und die Mächtigkeit von Hilfsfunktionen und Data Classes. Anhand von Anekdoten aus der Praxis präsentiert Philipp Best Practices, mit denen wir Testcode schreiben, der idiomatisch, lesbar und kompakt ist und dabei sinnvolle Fehlermeldungen ausgibt.</p>

<p>Kotlin has many features that are leaps and bounds ahead of Java. However, its primary target platform being the JVM, all of these features still need to compile to the same bytecode as Java does. This is a look at how a variety of interesting Kotlin features are compiled to bytecode, and what their Java equivalents would be. Even though Kotlin abstracts away much of the virtual machine and the original feature set of Java with its own features, it’s still important to know what your Kotlin code compiles to. Not only can this knowledge give you the power to optimize your code, but it will also help you avoid subtle bugs that would otherwise be near impossible to track down.</p>

<p>Sollte das Bearbeiten eines Gradle-Build-Skript nicht genauso viel Spaß machen wie die Entwicklung der App? Warum sollte ich mich mit Groovy beschäftigen, wenn ich mit Kotlin viel mehr Spaß habe? Mein Rat: Nutze einfach die Gradle Kotlin DSL!</p>
<p>Dieser Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über Gradle-Build-Skripte mit Groovy und der Kotlin DSL. Darüber hinaus zeigt er Schritt für Schritt die Migration eines bestehenden Android-Projekts von Groovy nach Kotlin. In dieser Migration werden wir uns die Vor- und Nachteile der Kotlin DSL genauer ansehen und die Eignung für reale Projekte diskutieren.</p>

<p>Kotlin ist eine moderne Programmiersprache, die unter Entwicklern immer beliebter wird – vor allem dank der zahlreichen smarten Sprach-Features, mit denen auch komplexe Sachverhalte sehr leichtgewichtig umgesetzt werden können. Warum also nicht gleich morgen mit der Entwicklung in Kotlin beginnen? Tatsächlich gibt es in der Praxis einige Fallstricke und Hürden zu meistern, damit eine erfolgreiche Einführung von Kotlin in Ihrem Projekt, Ihrem Team oder sogar Ihrer Organisation gelingt. In diesem diskursorientierten Vortrag stellt Ihnen André Diermann einige Transitions- bzw. Migrationsstrategien vor, damit auch Ihr Wechsel zu Kotlin von Anfang an einer voller Erfolg wird. Individuelle Fragen, persönliche Erfahrungsberichte und offene Diskussionen sind dabei sehr willkommen!</p>

<p>In diesem Vortrag lernen Sie mit „Server as a Function“ sowie „Function as a Service“ (FaaS) gleich zwei interessante Konzepte kennen und finden heraus, wie beides miteinander kombiniert werden kann. Wir wollen uns das http4k Toolkit ansehen Möglichkeiten kennenlernen, funktionale HTTP-Services mit Kotlin umzusetzen. In einem nächsten Schritt schauen wir uns an, wie http4k-Anwendungen in einer FaaS-Umgebung eingesetzt werden können. Wir nutzen dazu OpenFaaS, ein Open-Source Serverless-Framework welches auf Kubernetes betrieben wird. Das Ziel wird sein, http4k-Anwendungen als FaaS auf dieser Plattform einzusetzen. Abschließend wird gezeigt, wie die vorgestellten Technologien im Unternehmen des Referenten eingesetzt werden und wie sie genutzt werden, um eine Integrationsplattform für ein SaaS-Produkt zu schaffen.</p>

<p>Backend-Services für die JVM mit Spring Boot zu entwickeln fühlt sich an wie die erste warme Brise im Frühling nach einem kalten Winter. Dabei Java zu benutzen, erinnert einen aber trotz neuer Sprach-Features aus Java 11 an Schneeschippen mit Handschuhen und Mütze. Zum Glück geht es besser: mit Kotlin, einer prägnanten, sicheren, interoperablen Programmiersprache (nicht nur) für die JVM und mit hervorragendem Tool-Support. Der Talk stellt kurz die wesentlichen Stärken von Kotlin vor und zeigt dann im Live Coding, wie man mit Kotlin einen Spring Boot Microservice entwickelt. Zum Abschluss des Vortrags gibt es einen Erfahrungsbericht aus dem Einsatz in der Entwicklung einer Fulfillment-Plattform für REWE digital. Danach kann der Sommer kommen!</p>

<p>Kotlin und Arrow, eine Kombination zum Schweben auf der Cloud. Anstatt uns durch den objektorientierten Dschungel von Schichten und Klassen zu kämpfen, können wir die Ausdrucksstärke des funktionalen Programmierens nutzen. Über dem Wirrwarr sind wir endlich frei, uns auf die Business-Logik zu konzentrieren. Wir erhalten kurzen und eleganten Code, der besser zu testen und verständlicher ist. Als Bonus ist die Verwendung von reactive-Techniken und Parallelisierung praktisch geschenkt. In dem Vortrag werden wir auch noch einmal das funktionale Paradigma betrachten. Anschließend steigen Sie im Live Coding voll in den funktionalen Entwurf ein und entwickeln eine kleine Spring-Boot-App. Natürlich funktional!</p>

<p>Domain Specific Languages eignen sich seit jeher, komplexe Codestrukturen besser lesbar auszudrücken. Dabei unterstützen sie die Vermeidung redundanten Codes und reduzieren den Blick auf die wesentlichen Aspekte der Domäne. Der Vorteil interner DSLs gegenüber externen ist, dass sie sich direkt in einer Host-Programmiersprache entwickeln lassen. Kotlin bietet dafür mit seinen kompakten Sprachmitteln eine ideale Basis. Dieser Vortrag zeigt anhand konkreter Codebeispiele die Grundlagen zur Erstellung eigener DSLs mit Kotlin.</p>

<p>Mit Koroutinen lässt sich Nebenläufigkeit in Kotlin einfach und gut strukturiert abbilden. Nebenläufigen Code zu Testen ist jedoch nicht ganz einfach, und basiert oft auf Überwachung mit Timeouts. Das Coroutine Testing Package macht das Testen von Koroutinen leichter. Über Test-Dispatcher und -Scopes ermöglicht es Kontrolle über die Ausführung von Koroutinen, die dediziert angehalten und weiter ausgeführt werden können. Zeitliche Abläufe können ohne unnötiges Warten kontrolliert werden. Dieser Vortrag gibt einen Einblick in die Möglichkeiten des Coroutine Testing Package.</p>

<p>Collections are among the basic building blocks for writing code. Frequently used collections such as List, Set, and Map are designed to serve a basic fundamental purpose, but sometimes these collections are not enough and developers will extend them to add new functionality. In this session, Nikhil will extend the Map data structure to create two new collections called as a bag (MultiSet) and a multimap (MultiValuedMap). But does just extending a collection mean that the job is considered complete? Often it is not enough. Nikhil will explain the audience the basics of creating a new collection, adding new APIs, the salient aspects of the new collection, and the various knobs and controls required in order to make it safe and usable. This talk is 100% hands-on demo with no slides and using TDD approach. All the implementations done using only the JDK data structures and no external libraries. After this talk the audience will understand the thought process which needs to be put in while extending and creating new data structures, the helpful API which needs to be added and the safe guards which need to be put in place to help the users.</p>

            <![CDATA[
<p>Http4k is a lightweight HTTP library written in Kotlin that enables serving and consuming of HTTP services in a functional and testable way. Unlike many other libraries and frameworks which have complicated abstractions and workflows, http4k captures the essence of communication over HTTP with few simple concepts. In this session, I will explain and demo the core concepts in http4k by live coding from scratch HTTP server for noughts and crosses game.</p>

<p>With my current project, we have a hackday per sprint. During one of those hackdays, I discovered Kotlin's suspend functions. Functions that look exactly the same as normal functions, but by adding the keyword 'suspend' to them, you can start, pause and resume those functions without blocking. It seems like magic! Only if you don't know how it works under the hood of course. The pausing and resuming is done by coroutines, a concept I had not heard of before. That's why I spent some time reading and experimenting with Kotlin coroutines. I learned a lot about coroutines vs threads, blocking vs non-blocking, parallelism, concurrency and continuations. In this talk I would like to share what I have learned.</p>

<p>My team had around fifty different but interconnected products to manage, each in their own git repository.</p>
<p>All of the work involved with just keeping up-to-date was really limiting our progress into more exciting features.</p>
<p>Over a period of two years we’ve introduced multi-branch pipelines, built a GitOps flow, migrated to a monorepo, built an auto-scaling test environment and started using Kubernetes namespaces for our testing.</p>
<p>In this talk we will look at both the technical solutions and the lessons learned. What worked? What didn’t work? What was worth it? What would we have done differently if we knew better?</p>
<p>The talk is targeted towards software developers looking for ways to improve their workflow at the team level but the lessons learned should be relevant in a much broader sense.</p>

<p>Did you know that Kotlin compiler has a plugin system which allows extend its capabilities in breathtaking ways? Many highly important first party libraries, from serialization to Android specific extensions are done exactly this way. This talk explores results of my own experiments with this system and the possibilities it opens.</p>
<p>Get ready for a dive into compiler structure focusing on practical extension without breaking the language rules. We will go through plugins released by the community and the current state of development for those who dare to create compiler plugins themselves. At last, you will see how the compiler plugins compare to annotation processing and understand pros and cons of each.​</p>

<p>Introducing Ktor and explaining it's architecture
Showing how to create a simple API using Ktor
Pointing out how it leverages Kotlin's strengths
Can it contend with favourites like Java EE or Spring (Boot), and in which scenarios? Is it mature enough to be used in production? After this talk, you'll be equipped to answer those questions for yourself!</p>

<p>This session shares notable changes in the Java ecosystem starting from Java 8 all the way until Java 14. No vendor-specific changes or enhancements are covered.</p>
<p>Given the breadth of the topic and a time limit, this session will only cover the most notable or impactful changes.</p>
<p>For instance, Java 9 introduced 150 new features: Java 9 changes focus on programmatic/syntactic changes for most part but will cover the new Java Module system JPMS, since it makes a huge impact for library developers.</p>
<p>Similar constraints apply for Java 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. However, post-Java 9, the release cadence of 6 months has greatly reduced the number of features delivered making the content more viable to present a larger percentage of changes.</p>

<p>Java EE has been re-branded to Jakarta EE and moved to truly open source governance under the Eclipse Foundation. This session overviews what this means, offers a brief tour of the first release - Jakarta EE 8, explores current state and looks to what the future might bring including some key challenges. We will also discuss how these challenges can be overcome through active community engagement.</p>
<p>The technical contents of Jakarta EE 8 is mostly the same as Java EE 8 - it solidly enables HTTP/2, Server-Sent Events (SSE), JSON and aligns the platform with Java SE 8. It includes a much awaited security API overhaul as well as a slew of critical updates to APIs like JSF, JPA, JAX-RS and CDI. The true difference is how Jakarta EE is evolved in the open.</p>

<p>gRPC is a technology that allows you to call server side logic from any platform using protocol buffers. What are the libraries available that allow you to create and consume gRPC services using coroutines? What are the debugging and monitoring tools we could use for gRPC?</p>
<p>In this talk, I will share with you how to build a gRPC server using the gRPC-Kotlin library. We’ll explore how to use protocol buffers to define different types of rpc calls that are unary and bidirectional. On the client side, we’ll also use this library to consume our gRPC service. gRPC-Kotlin provides an API that uses Flows to make rpc calls. We’ll explore how it works internally. For each rpc call we implement using coroutines, I’ll show you how to unit test it.</p>

<p>We needed to validate our use cases with tests:
- that specify the user intents, not the technical details
- that are human-readable (but without regex tricks)
- that verify our hexagonal architecture running both end-to-end and
in the domain only
- that can guide our architecture like unit-tests are driving our design</p>
<p>This talk is about how we solved these problems with the DDT approach
and how you can apply this technique on your own backend application.
A demonstration with live coding will show how to write them and use
it to drive the development.</p>

<p>Based on the gained knowledge of the first talk Urs Peter will show you how easy it is to apply Coroutines in Spring Boot using live-coding. Staring out with a simple rest service he will transform a CompletableFuture based endpoint into a Coroutine counterpart. He will rebuild a ServerSentEvent stream endpoint written with Reactor’s Flux with a Kotlin Flow and show you how Channels can be applied to broadcast information between Flows. He will finally explain how existing CompletableFuture or Flux/Mono based api’s can easily be ‘lifted’ into Coroutines allowing different reactive libraries to be used in a straightforward synchronous way without losing their asynchronous, non-blocking characteristics.</p>

<p>Если вы писали многопоточный код, то знаете, что сложно написать его корректно сразу. Для тестирования обычно пишут стресс-тесты, покрывающие лишь некоторые опасные сценарии исполнения. Но часто для поиска ошибки такого подхода оказывается недостаточно. Для решения этой проблемы был создан lincheck — пока единственный инструмент в мире JVM, позволяющий удобно тестировать корректность (обычно линеаризуемость) многопоточного кода.</p>
<p>Сперва в докладе будет описано использование инструмента, затем его внутреннее устройство.</p>

<p>As programmers, we love solving problems. However, sometimes we need more than programmer grit to solve many problems with no easy answer. Suppose you need to tightly schedule 190 classes in 20 classrooms, with different class durations, recurrences, and constraints throughout the week? What about minimizing the operating cost of a train schedule while maintaining a steady movement of passengers? How about identifying objects in images? Or simply solving a Sudoku?</p>

<p>We know we should write tests, and we know that Kotlin gives us some nice features to use in our code, so how can we put these two together? There are some really great ways that Kotlin is being used in test writing, and we'll look at a number of them. This will include features such as higher order functions and escaping back-ticks and how they can make your tests more expressive. We'll also look at some testing libraries that take advantage of Kotlin's features. At the end of this talk you'll walk away with an understanding of how you can use Kotlin to make your tests more enjoyable.</p>

<p>In this talk, we will explore how Kotlin and its features around multiplatform projects can help tackle tasks around writing systems that are distributed across multiple platforms, such as server-client applications. In particular, we will look at how Kotlin for JVM and Kotlin/JS can play together, allowing us to share models, business logic, and most of all knowledge. We will get a broad overview of creating, managing and building such applications – all from within a single Gradle project, staying type-safe, and utilizing common and platform libraries.</p>
<p>We'll also briefly talk about how we at JetBrains employ these Kotlin multiplatform features to prototype new ideas and realize products – from hackathon projects to JetBrains Space, our integrated team environment</p>

<p>One of the reasons Kotlin has proven so popular is its wide array of abstractions and constructs. But pattern matching, a popular feature that in other languages allows us to easily inspect data and act accordingly, is currently missing.</p>
<p>This talk aims to explore the possibility of adding pattern matching to Kotlin. It will go through why and how it could be done, from adding it to the actual language to using a compiler plugin (much like kotlinx.serialization works).</p>

<p>Pluggability is hard. Many software projects avoid it by all means possible. Many try to contain it in the smallest possible scope. We believe that developers are creative and have specific requirements for their documentation engine. Some of them want to be able to render their docs in javadoc-compatible format. Some of them want features like a full-text search or runnable code snippets inside of the docs. And there are some that need features that we’ve never even thought about. To satisfy all of them, we decided to embrace full pluggability. And we decided to make pluggability fearless, so anyone can mix and match existing plugins or easily create new ones from scratch, without the fear of breaking anything.</p>
<p>In my talk, I would like to tell you how we decided to redesign and reimplement Dokka from scratch. I will introduce you to all the dangers and risks of pluggability and tell you how we mitigated them by design, grounded in strong guarantees. Finally, I want to show how easily and how much you can do with your old, boring documentation using new Dokka.</p>

<p>At Instil we use Space as the primary mechanism for coaching developers during virtual training. To ensure privacy, we create a dedicated instance for every workshop we deliver. Initially, this led to headaches when we were manually configuring profiles, teams, repos, blogs, chats and checklists. We since solved this by using the Space HTTP API to create an automated pipeline. Today anyone can configure any workshop in a matter of minutes. This talk will walk you through the code behind this pipeline. In addition to the Space API itself, we will be covering OAuth, the Ktor HTTP Client, DSLs, Functional Patterns and Integrating Testing.</p>

<p>Kotlin Multiplatform will allow sharing native code among many platforms. The native mobile developer world, in particular, will see a lot of benefit very quickly from KMP.</p>
<p>The Android developer community seems pretty excited by the possibilities. However, coming from the JVM, there are new things you must learn. One of the most important is Kotlin/Native’s state and concurrency model. While the Kotlin/Native state model is conceptually simple, it is also different, and will cause some confusion if you don’t learn the rules.</p>

<p>“Multiplatform” is a paradox._
It makes things both easier and more complicated at the same time.
It’s the opposite of what most _expect_ or think they need... And also the solution to their _actual_ needs.
It's also more than just a technology—Ah, and you're already doing it (inefficiently)!</p>
<p>Then what is it, really?
And why would Kotlin be any different than all those other failed multiplatform tools?</p>
<p>One short answer is: **Kotlin _works_ on multiple platforms, but is _not_ multiplatform.**</p>
<p>Sounds like another paradox?
Then let us start from the beginning...</p>

<p>When creating a game, you want your game to be available on all platforms to target as many players as possible. Developing a game engine is a challenge: you have to deal with mathematical concepts, animations, player interactions... Creating an engine that runs on different platforms is even more challenging. Is Kotlin and Kotlin/Multiplatform could be the right tool to build this kind of engine? Let's check this out together.</p>
<p>Message for you, so you can already be aware what you can expect from this session:
Using existing Java game engines, you can create a game that runs on the JVM, in a browser or on Android and iOS. But it requires some complex tooling, when tools are available for the platform you're targeting.</p>
<p>This session is about the creation of a game engine that runs the same way in a browser, in a JVM, on iOS or Android.</p>
<p>Throughout this session, attendees will learn:
- Basic matrix computation needed for 3D engine;
- Basic game development concept: drawing shapes on screen, dealing with skeleton animations;
- How to convert a pure Kotlin/JVM library into a Kotlin/Multiplaform library;
- Example of use of Kotlinx.serialization to share game content between each platforms;
- What didn't work while budding this kind of engine, like building a common API over heterogeneous game engine; or converting a java engine into a Kotlin one;
- The challenges to build a game engine on the top of the Open GL API. (Open GL is a 3D API available almost everywhere: WebGL (browser), Open GL ES  (Android / iOS - deprecated), Open GL (JVM / Native);
- Issues encounter to build such engine on different platform: name forbidden in Kotlin/JS (val input -- package input conflict). Taking very seriously the naming and the abstraction on the common.</p>

From standard libraries and simple DOM manipulation to building full React applications: guided by code and configuration examples, we will get an impression of the technology and its interoperability with an exciting ecosystem – including the freshest changes and additions for Kotlin 1.4 and going forward.</p>
<p>We'll also see how Kotlin libraries support development of Kotlin/JS applications, even beyond the browser – from concurrent applications with coroutines to painless communication supported by kotlinx.serialization. In the same context, we will also look at interesting and useful constructs we can create for Kotlin/JS in multiplatform projects.</p>
<p>Let us go on an adventure in my favorite ecosystem for Kotlin!</p>

<p>With its roots in the Java world, Apollo-Android evolved to progressively support Kotlin and now Kotlin multiplatform. In this talk we will be talking about the path we took to bring Kotlin Multiplatform support and the challenges we faced along the way. We will touch topics such as migrating code from Java to Kotlin Multiplatform for both the runtime and code generation, as well as documentation and publication of Multiplatform artifacts. Lastly, we will share our plans for the future of the project.</p>

<p>Microservice architecture is now a huge trend. All big organizations with millions of users are doing microservices. This means they have lots of channels of communication between services and need to send and get much data. At some point, you can find yourself in a situation where your current approach doesn’t provide you with efficient communication, you pay more, wait more, lose more etc. Maybe it’s time to look at gRPC… gRPC is asynchronous by its nature. But old API, Java infrastructure and verbosity make people write lots of noise and break their beautiful minds to make things done. In Kotlin we have awesome coroutines concept. So async gRPC and coroutines could be a perfect match! Let’s discover if this is possible. In this talk, we’ll learn how to build microservices using gRPC with minimum pain. We’ ll discuss the pros and cons of this approach, what can be improved, what should be added.</p>

<p>Serverless architecture is the new hot. But with a lot of different ways to build applications out there, it's hard to know where to start and what really constitutes a serverless application.</p>
<p>In this talk, we will investigate the tools and processes for building serverless applications using Kotlin. We will then deploy our application and look at some interesting ways we can consume our serverless apps.</p>
<p>Get ready to learn how serverless Kotlin makes it easier to create backends and other utilities for your applications.</p>

<p>RainbowCake is an architectural framework built on top of the best & latest of Jetpack and Kotlin. One of its core features is its view state and view event handling mechanism, which is somewhere between MVVM and MVI, and is powered by LiveData. In this talk, we’ll first look at the client side API of the framework, and the design decisions that went into it. Then, we’ll dive into how all of this is implemented under the hood by customizing LiveData. While the talk discusses this specific framework, the ideas in it are universal and can be used independently in any project.</p>
