Talk #1 - From Java to Kotlin โ Why Kotlin and Why Itโs Worth Making the Switch
โSpeaker bio: Robert Deliu is a software Engineer with 7 years of experience mainly on backend services and expertise on Java and Kotlin.ย
โAbstract: Introduction to Kotlin for Java Developers: what Kotlin is, why it has become popular in the JVM ecosystem, and how it can simplify application development through cleaner, safer code with seamless Java interoperability.ย
โ
โTalk #2 - From Java to Kotlin โ Realโworld Wins After the AD/01 Bootcampย
โ
Speaker bio: Java developer turned Kotlin enthusiast after the AD/01 bootcamp, and loving every minute of it. He has built reliable services and APIs using Kotlinโs concise syntax and null-safe type system, combining pragmatic patterns from Java with modern Kotlin features. He cares about clean code, observability, and loves using coroutines to simplify async workloads while keeping code readable and testable.
โAbstract: The AD/01 bootcamp turned everyday Java habits into Kotlin gains in a week. I saw immediate wins: fewer NPEs thanks to null-safety, leaner domain models with data classes, and readable async flows using coroutines - without sacrificing observability. Seamless Java interop meant we could adopt Kotlin safely and ship alongside existing services right away. The hands-on labs and expert feedback made the patterns stick and the benefits visible to the whole team.
