About this event

Hey everyone! 👋

We're hosting a session this Friday that covers three things in one — and it's perfect for anyone curious about modern app development!

We'll start from the ground up with Kotlin basics, level up into Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) — Google's officially recommended approach for sharing code across Android, iOS, desktop & web — and then see it all come together in Android development.

What we'll cover:

• Kotlin syntax & core concepts

• Introduction to Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP)

• How KMP enables cross-platform development

• Android project structure & building your first screen

• Live demos & Q&A

Before the session, please install:

  1. Android Studio → https://developer.android.com/studio

  2. IntelliJ IDEA (Community Edition) → https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download

Please have both installed and ready before Friday 8 PM so we hit the ground running. 🚀
