If you are an Android developer who has used/is currently using Java, you’ve probably come across these frustrating challenges:
NullPointerException
sKotlin as a programming language was written to address these challenges and more to help make your codebase easier to maintain and scale. However, when shifting from Java to Kotlin, developers often end up writing Java-style code or look for familiar Java patterns and that’s where problems emerge.
With this workshop, we will help developers get introduced to the “Kotlin way” of approaching problems. We will use different, real-world examples to help you and your team write more “functional” code using Kotlin when building large-scale Android apps. This workshop is a first stepping stone in your Kotlin journey, and to fully unleash Kotlin’s powers, it’s important to ensure that your Kotlin codebase becomes more idiomatic.

and sealed classes
effectivelyWe highly recommend this workshop for Android development teams to write effective Kotlin and improve the maintainability of your codebase through a shared understanding.
Vinay Shenoy is an Android Engineer at Obvious. He believes that refactoring should be done continuously and not left for the “future”, and embracing change instead of fighting it. You’ll usually find him pushing for sustainable work practices and automating workflows.
Honey Sonwani is an Android Engineer at Obvious and believes that the Android ecosystem we live in is only as good as we make it. A highly community-driven individual, she’s passionately involved as one of the organisers in Firebase Community Mumbai and Mumbai Women Coders.
This will be a hands-on workshop so you will need access to a personal computer with the Android development toolchain setup as follows:
