Hey everyone !

We have the pleasure and the honor to inform you that we will organize our first event in Agadir, a WorkShop of Android development using the new language supported by Google Kotlin,  we would love to see you there !

What’s GDG :

Google Developer Groups (GDGs) are for developers who are interested in Google's developer technology, everything from the Android, Chrome, Drive, and Google Cloud platforms, to product APIs like the Cast API, Maps API, and YouTube API.

A GDG can take many forms, from just a few people getting together to watch our latest video, to large gatherings with demos and tech talks, to events like code sprints and hackathons. However, at the core, GDGs are focused on developers and technical content.

What’s kotlin :

Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the Java virtual machine and also can be compiled to JavaScript source code or uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure. Its primary development is from a team of JetBrains programmers based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.[2] While the syntax is not compatible with Java, Kotlin is designed to interoperate with Java code and is reliant on Java code from the existing Java Class Library, such as the collections framework.

The name comes from Kotlin Island, near St. Petersburg. Andrey Breslav mentioned that the team decided to name it after an island just like Java was named after the Indonesian island of Java.

Kotlin is a fully supported programming language on Android.  ( Wikipedia )
