Kotlin/Native for Android developers

Kotlin/Native is being used by Kotlin Multiplatform when producing library for iOS (among other native targets). When I moved from writing Android apps in Java to writing iOS apps in Objective-C, I was lost and desperately tried to find commonalities between JVM and Native, to ease the pain.

In this talk I'd like to take you on a journey through the native world. We'll look at the main differences from JVM, how linking works and some best practices to keep in mind when working with binaries.

Behind the mirror, Kotlin Reflection

What we know about Reflection is shaped by our experiences in the world of Java. In that world, Reflection is a very advanced feature and is even considered harmful by many.

But do you know that you use Reflection all the time in Kotlin? It “is essential when using a functional or reactive style” as the Kotlin documentation states.

Have you ever wondered how Kotlin’s features are hidden in normal JVM byte code?

Let’s walk behind the mirror and use and understand the Reflection package of Kotlin.
