Details
After programming in Java and Scala for many years, I found a best-of-both-worlds language in Kotlin. Luckily enough I was able to work with Kotlin quite extensively, during projects and trainings. While doing that I stumbled upon many gotchas that have led to true facepalm and eye-opening moments!
I’ll happily share these (slightly embarrassing) war stories in this talk. To keep things fair, I’ll put your knowledge to the test: May the best Kotcha spotter win!
Join this talk to learn from my failures and mistakes so you won’t make them in your next Kotlin project!
Prerequisite knowledge
Basic Kotlin and/or Java knowledge is helpful
