Mastering API Visibility in Kotlin
When designing a library, minimizing your API surface - the types, methods, properties, and functions you expose to the outside world - is a great idea. This doesn't apply to just libraries: it's a consideration you should make for every module in a multi-module project. In this talk, we'll look at all the ways that Kotlin lets you get your visibility just right.- 2021.09.14. Rheinwerk Konferenz für Kotlin 2021

Handling View State and Events with RainbowCake
RainbowCake is an architectural framework built on top of the best & latest of Jetpack and Kotlin. One of its core features is its view state and view event handling mechanism, which is somewhere between MVVM and MVI, and is powered by LiveData. In this talk, we’ll first look at the client side API of the framework, and the design decisions that went into it. Then, we’ll dive into how all of this is implemented under the hood by customizing LiveData. While the talk discusses this specific framework, the ideas in it are universal and can be used independently in any project.- 2020.06.05. Conference for Kotliners 2020
Say “hi” to Moshi
JSON serialization is an everyday task for Android developers, but it's still not a trivial one. Long used solutions such as Gson have serious pain points, especially when using them with Kotlin. Could Moshi be our saviour when it comes to dealing with JSON on Android? We'll look at how to use it, what problems it solves, and how nicely it plays with our favourite JVM language.- 2021.11.13.

Idiomatic Kotlin
'Idiomatic' is a word often used by Kotlin experts to describe elegant patterns or solutions that make excellent use of Kotlin's features. Let's turn this attitude around for a change, and have some fun by taking a look at the worst ways you can twist and abuse language features to take shortcuts, create tricky solutions, achieve exciting syntax, or confuse others who dare enter your codebase.

Dekompiling
Kotlin has many features that are leaps and bounds ahead of Java. However, its primary target platform being the JVM, all of these features still need to compile to the same bytecode as Java does. This is a look at how a variety of interesting Kotlin features are compiled to bytecode, and what their Java equivalents would be. Even though Kotlin abstracts away much of the virtual machine and the original feature set of Java with its own features, it’s still important to know what your Kotlin code compiles to. Not only can this knowledge give you the power to optimize your code, but it will also help you avoid subtle bugs that would otherwise be near impossible to track down.- 2020.11.09.

Reviewing Kotlin
I have been teaching our rapidly growing team of Android developers Kotlin for about a year, and for the last few months, I’ve been reviewing tens of thousands of lines of code written by almost a dozen people at times. Here’s what we’ve found out together about learning, teaching, and reviewing Kotlin. I’ll tell you what worked for us and what didn’t, so that you may be more prepared for this path than we were. I’ll also point out some of the issues that most often arose in the code while our developers were getting familiar with the language.- 2019.06.07. Conference for Kotliners 2019
