I attended KotlinConf for the first time this year and was really excited to fly to Copenhagen and see what’s going on around Kotlin. As usual, I am going to write about the things I learned at this conference.

I talked about Kotlin Multiplatform at the Android Heads Vienna Meetup on April, 4th 2019.

Here are the slides. You can find the sample repository here.

I attended Droidcon London on the 27th and 28th of October 2018. I made it a habit to write a blogpost about all the things I learned after every conference. This forces me to listen to the talks very carefully and find out the essence of the presentation and then afterwards put my learnings into words in a clear and comprehensible way.

At Google IO 2018, a new library from the Architecture Components of Android Jetpack, called Android WorkManager was presented. Android WorkManager promises to simplify working with background tasks that get executed even after the application’s process got killed, which is currently really hard to do on Android.

This blog post captures my first experiments with Android WorkManager. The goal was to find out if a real-world problem in a mobile application could be solved in an easy way with the help of Android WorkManager.

This is a short recap of Droidcon Vienna, which took place on September the 21st and 22nd of 2018. I did a presentation for the first time at a conference so I was really excited. On the day before the event, we were invited to speakers dinner. It was very nice to get to know some of the other speakers. I was surprised by how international the speaker lineup was. I could speak with speakers from India, Singapur, Ireland, and the UK.

I gave a presentation about “How Effective Java influenced Kotlin” at this year’s Droidcon in Vienna. Here are the slides!
