Kotlin London Meetup
The first edition of the Kotlin London virtual meetup for 2021 takes place on Wednesday, January 13th at 6:00 p.m. GMT. This event will feature talks by Jorge Castillo, a technical lead at 47 Degrees, and Jorge Rego, an Android developer at Proxy.com.
This meetup will be live streamed on the Kotlin London YouTube channel.
Architecture proposal to build servers with Ktor - Jorge Rego
Kotlin is growing really fast and new tools and libraries are available to code with this language. 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.
Functional Android - Jorge Castillo
In this talk, we will learn how to seamlessly integrate the functional programming paradigm with our Android architecture to get the most out of both worlds. We’ll cover concepts like declarative programming + runtime optimization, integration of functional effects with Jetpack Compose, error handling strategies, data validation, concurrency, safe resource handling to avoid memory leaks, Streams, and much more.
