In this event, Pamela Hill (Developer Advocate, Kotlin Multiplatform at JetBrains) will guide us through Kotlin 2.2’s new language features. She'll explore improvements that make Kotlin even more powerful for Android and backend systems development.
Thereafter, Simon Vergauwen (Developer Advocate at JetBrains & OSS arrow-kt maintainer) will demonstrate how to build scalable, production-ready backend services with Ktor—leveraging coroutines, dependency injection, and familiar mobile-style architecture
Whether you’re a seasoned Kotlin developer or exploring Kotlin for frontend (Android or multiplatform mobile or desktop) or backend development, this event is for you. Join us to meet other developers, share ideas, and learn what the new version of Kotlin can supercharge your productivity.
