This talk will start with a brief introduction into Kotlin and its core language features. After this brief foray into concepts like Kotlin's immutable variables, null behaviour and other smarts like the syntactic sugar it provides for dealing with types and properties you'll discover what's in store for Android developers.
Particularly noteworthy are the decrease in annoying Java boilerplate code, fewer of the irritating "Process has stopped unexpectedly" messages and the easily available Kotlin Android Extensions. You will also explore the toolchain and compiler tools Kotlin provides for Android development, the differences to using Kotlin for Java development as well as the integration into Android Studio.
