In this session, you’ll learn how to get started with Kotlin in your projects, tips and tricks on how to preserve your version control history, some pitfalls when migrating from Java, and what new technologies you can make use of in your journey with Kotlin.
Legacy code can be quite the challenge to manage, often resulting from untested scenarios, quick fixes, or less than successful initiatives. With few developers wanting to deal with it, it can end up with little remaining knowledge of its inner workings. We can take many learnings from Michael Feathers book on “Working Effectively with Legacy Code”, but we can also use Kotlin migration as an effective tool to leverage the management, reduction, and removal of legacy code in our applications....

Kotlin has taken the Android world by storm, and is quickly becoming the most popular language of choice. With Coroutines now stable, does it make sense to replace your RxJava implementations for Coroutines? Despite the hype, it may not make sense to jump on the bandwagon just yet. RxJava has already proven its stability and usefulness, and a comparison between the two frameworks shows that they are simply better suited for different purposes....

Is the learning curve of Rx too steep? Do we overuse Rx Java? Is LiveData an alternative? Do Coroutines and Kotlin build-in features make it obsolete? The Context: Episode 21: Rx Must Die
