11:00 am - 12:00 pm - Coroutines and JVM - Enrique López Mañas

Have you ever wondered how the coroutines work under the hood? What were the design goals of the Kotlin coroutines and how are they implemented on JVM? This session will help you to understand some of the underlying principles behind the coroutines, and how they can be effectively be used on the JVM.

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Kotlin and Spring: an Pragmatic Pair - Josh Long

Spring Boot, the convention-over-configuration centric framework from the Spring team at Pivotal, marries Spring's flexibility with conventional, common sense defaults to make application development on the JVM not just fly, but pleasant! Spring Boot aims to address the common functional and non-functional requirements that gate quickly moving to production. The framework is as clean as it gets, wouldn't it be nice if the language matched its elegance?

Kotlin, the productivity-focused language from our friends at JetBrains, takes up the slack to make the experience leaner, cleaner and even more pleasant!

The Spring and Kotlin teams have worked hard to make sure that Kotlin and Spring Boot are a first-class experience for all developers trying to get to production, faster and safer. Come for the Spring and stay for the Bootiful Kotlin.

3:00pm - 4:00 pm - Feature Isoloation in Flutter Apps - Efthymis Sarmpanis

Writing clean code is the priority of every developer, but sometimes navigating the ocean of pattern and guidelines can leave us disoriented and confused.

This is where Feature Isolation can come to Help!

Efthymios Sarmpanis Organizer of the Flutter Athens Meetup and writer of many articles about Flutter, is coming to give us his point of view on how the un-opinionated nature of Flutter, in regards to application code structure, is liberating for a developer, but usually leads to cluttered code and a non-standardized code layout.

Utilizing principles from Domain-Driven Design (D.D.D.) and S.O.L.I.D. principles and being greatly inspired by Angular’s modulated structure, Efthymios will present Feature Isolation as an application architecture that can promote clean code, discrete feature boundaries and a clear dependency graph among the different features of the application.
