12. WHY KOTLIN?
13. Expressiveness Safety Interoperability Structured concurrency
14. - Google Preferred Language - Statistically typed - Type Inference - Developed by Jetbrains - Concise - 100% interoperable with Java - Null Safety - And many more.
15. Java vs Kotlin
16. Java to Kotlin
17. Tools For Kotlin.
18. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity () { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { ... fab.setOnClickListener { view -> Snackbar.make(view, "Hello ${name.capitalize()}", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show() } fab.backgroundTintList = backgroundTintList } } A Wide Kotlin Example
19. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity () { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { ... fab.setOnClickListener { view -> Snackbar.make(view, "Hello ${name.capitalize()}", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show() } fab.backgroundTintList = backgroundTintList } } Nullability in the type system A Wide Kotlin Example
20. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity () { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { ... fab.setOnClickListener { view -> Snackbar.make(view, "Hello ${name.capitalize()}", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show() } fab.backgroundTintList = backgroundTintList } } Nullability in the type system Lambdas A Wide Kotlin Example
21. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity () { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { ... fab.setOnClickListener { view -> Snackbar.make(view, "Hello ${name.capitalize()}", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show() } fab.backgroundTintList = backgroundTintList } } Nullability in the type system Lambdas Extension functions A Wide Kotlin Example
22. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity () { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { ... fab.setOnClickListener { view -> Snackbar.make(view, "Hello ${name.capitalize()}", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show() } fab.backgroundTintList = backgroundTintList } } Nullability in the type system Lambdas Template expressions Extension functions A Wide Kotlin Example
23. class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity () { override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { ... fab.setOnClickListener { view -> Snackbar.make(view, "Hello ${name.capitalize()}", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show() } fab.backgroundTintList = backgroundTintList } } Nullability in the type system Lambdas Template expressions Extension functions Property access syntax for getters and setters A Wide Kotlin Example
24. • Data Classes • Extension Methods • Elvis Operator • Properties • Default Parameters • Type Aliases • Named Parameters • Spread Operator • Auto Casts • Covariance • Null Safety • Operator Overloading • Type Inference • DSL Support • Type-Safe Builders • Coroutines • String Interpolation • Ranges • Map Array Syntax • Inline Functions • Sealed Classes • Delegation • Destructuring • KDoc
25. But wait….
49. • Advantages over Java 7 are overwhelming • Java 8 introduced • Lambdas • Null safety (“Optional” class) • Default methods • Streams API • New Date & Time API Java strikes back with Java 8
50. • Is more elegant, concise and safe • Has more cool stuff But even with Java 8 Kotlin still...
