I've been learning modern #android development for the last month. Last time i did android development was about 10 years ago, and a lot has changed since then:
* #Kotlin is now used as the programming language instead of Java
* Co-routines (a way in Kotlin to run work in threads) are used for performing GUI updates
* Jetpack #Compose is used instead of XML for creating the layouts
* Compose uses state variables to update the GUI in a declarative way
* Room has been added as a way to access SQLite databases

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #cybersecurity, #groovy, #java, #kotlin, #kubernetes, #numpy, #pandas, #programming, and #python. Thanks for the invite, @Welcome Diasporg!

I'm working on some #kotlin code for the first time in awhile and I have to say that it seems IntelliSense in IntelliJ for Multiplatform seems far less intelligent now. Had decided to tweak before using this as a porting to Dart #dartlang test case but think will jump on porting.

What’s New In Kotlin 1.6?

Kotlin 1.6 is out with new features, an improved experimental memory manager, and an enhanced standard library. The additions help mature JetBrains’ increasingly popular cross-platform and cross-discipline language.

Although I'm pretty much a convert to #flutter for UI development I'm excited to see Compose Multiplatform hit 1.0. That means one can use #kotlin w/one stack for mobile, desktop, and web (just like w/Flutter) and avoid the JavaFX Rube Goldberg problem. blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/12…

In this post, I’m going to walk you through my solution to the Advent of Code 2021 Day 1 task. Of course, I used Kotlin to solve it!  https://www.youtube.com/embed/76IzmtOyiHw The input f

Lots of interesting new things in the latest version of #kotlin! blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/11…

Kotlin 1.6.0 is now officially released with Stable exhaustive whens, Kover, and new memory manager for Kotlin/Native!

Recently I mentioned how I was drawn towards #flutter for cross platform desktop development after being frustrated by the Rube Goldberg situation for that under #kotlin. This thread really captures that. It gets worse when adding other KMM/KMP things. discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/rant-about-k…

While I've spent a bunch of the last few years working with #dotnet (most favorite @AvaloniaUI and LiteDB) and #kotlin in recent weeks my dabbling with #dartlang and #flutter really converged to it being my primary platform. More to come later this month. nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/11/04/dar…

As a #kotlin lover who is starting to dig #dart I enjoy this 😀

#Flutter

I've had a pretty easy time learning #flutter and #dart with my background in many standard languages w/ #kotlin being my favorite. This post by David Miguel is a great reference for lots of language/lib features for Kotlin developers. davidmigloz.medium.com/dart-for-kotli…

Cool little documentary video on history of it as well! Happy anniversary for my favorite language 😀 #Kotlin #10yearsofkotlin
