This talk is to help the kotliners understand the caveats of the default interoperability features provided by Kotlin and provides a few tips for interoperability to make Java developers life easier.
Kotlin is a statically typed programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It is developed by JetBrains as a pragmatic language for Java interoperability focused on interoperability, safety, tools, and Kotlin extensions. Some key points about Kotlin:
- Announced as an official Android language alongside Java at Google I/O 2017.
- Open source and developed by JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ IDEA.
- Runs on the JVM and is fully interoperable with Java.
- Safer than Java with features like null safety and data classes.
- Supports coroutines for writing asynchronous and non-blocking code in
This document introduces dependency injection (DI), a design pattern that allows for flexible organization of classes. DI frameworks allow objects to be constructed and injected with their dependencies automatically based on configuration, avoiding hardcoded dependencies. Aspect oriented programming (AOP) allows cross-cutting concerns like logging or error handling to be defined separately from application code. Inversion of control (IOC) "flips" construction such that classes request fully initialized dependencies rather than constructing them directly. DI promotes loose coupling, testability, and flexibility in swapping implementations.
This document provides examples comparing Java and Kotlin code for common programming tasks. It shows how Kotlin simplifies collections, extension functions, data classes, and defining steps in Allure reports compared to Java. For collections, Kotlin provides concise syntax like val classpath = listOf() instead of creating and adding to lists. Extension functions allow adding methods to existing classes like HtmlElement.waitForIt(). Data classes remove boilerplate from simple classes. And Kotlin step blocks cleanly define steps in Allure reports.
I used these slides to present the benefits of using Kotlin to a group of people I work with. The presentation focuses on comparing Kotlin to Java, and in particular showing how Kotlin can help in writing safer, more concise and readable code. I used a few java gotchas/puzzles to demonstrate how Kotlin may prevent us from doing silly things.

While Google is adding Kotlin as an official Android language, we're also expanding our research on this language. It’s developed by JetBrains, and the fact that these are the people behind a suite of IDEs, such as IntelliJ and ReSharper, really shines through in Kotlin. It’s pragmatic and concise and makes coding a satisfying and efficient experience.
Although Kotlin compiles to both JavaScript and soon machine code, I’ll focus on its prime environment, the JVM.

Dependency injection is a design pattern that allows classes to have their dependencies satisfied externally rather than internally. It promotes loose coupling between classes and makes code more organized and flexible. Bean management allows the dependency injection framework to automatically instantiate objects and their dependencies rather than requiring manual setup. Inversion of control inverts traditional object creation by allowing external configuration to determine default property values and dependencies rather than coding them. Aspect oriented programming allows cross-cutting concerns like logging or error handling to be defined separately from the core functionality they apply to.

Kotlin is a new programming language for Android App development and it is discovered by Google.It will be an alternate option in place of Java language for android app development.
Java is an object-oriented programming language initially developed by Sun Microsystems. It is platform independent because the Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Java is considered more secure than other languages because it does not use pointers, handles memory allocation automatically through garbage collection, and catches errors at compile-time. The key differences between C and Java are that Java does not support pointers, global variables, or preprocessor directives and it has automatic memory management and strict object-oriented approach.
Kotlin is a statically typed language for the JVM, Android, and browser that was created by JetBrains in response to limitations in Java. It focuses on interoperability with Java code and libraries. Kotlin allows avoiding null pointer exceptions, supports functional and procedural programming, and concise code. It is the official language for Android app development. The document discusses Kotlin basics like variables, strings, functions, classes, data classes, and control flows and how to configure Kotlin in Android Studio projects.
Projects Valhalla, Loom and GraalVM at JUG MainzVadym Kazulkin
This document discusses three Java projects: Project Valhalla, Project Loom, and GraalVM.
Project Valhalla aims to introduce inline types (value types) to Java to improve performance by reducing memory usage and indirection. Project Loom introduces virtual threads and continuations to allow writing scalable concurrent code more easily. GraalVM is a runtime that uses partial evaluation to compile Java and other languages to machine code for high performance.
Evolving a Clean, Pragmatic Architecture at JBCNConf 2019Victor Rentea
Are you in a mood for a brainstorm? Join this critical review of the major decisions taken in a typical enterprise application architecture and learn to balance pragmatism with your design goals. Find out how to do just-in-time design to keep as much use-cases as simple as possible. The core purpose of this presentation is to learn to strike a **balance between pragmatism and maintainability** in your design. Without continuous refactoring, a simple design will inevitably degenerate into a Big Ball of Mud, under the assault of the new features and bugfixes. On the other hand, very highly-factored code can burden the take-off of the development and end up freezing the mindset in some rigid 'a-priori' design. The end goal of this talk is to challenge you to rethink critically the architecture of your own systems, and seek ways to simplify it to match your actual needs, with a pragmatic mindset. "Architecture is the art of postponing decisions", said Uncle Bob. This talk takes this idea further and explains an optimal mindset about designing enterprise applications: Evolving (Continuously Refactoring) a Pragmatic (Simple), Clean (aka Onion) Architecture, aiming to provide Developer Safety™️ and Comfort™️. It’s the philosophy that Victor distilled over the past 5 years, designing and implementing 9 applications as IBM Lead Architect, and delivering trainings and advises to many other companies. You’ll learn how to break data into pieces (Fit Entities, Value Objects, Data Transfer Objects), how to keep the logic simple (Facades, Domain Services, logic extraction patterns, Mappers, AOP), layering to enforce boundaries (keeping DTOs out of your logic, Dependency Inversion Principle), and many more, all in a dynamic, interactive and extremely entertaining session.
This document discusses using InvokeDynamic in Java EE to improve upon the traditional use of proxies. It begins with a brief history of aspects and proxies in Java EE. Proxies were originally used to implement cross-cutting concerns like transactions, but have issues like generating a lot of boilerplate code and causing long and confusing stack traces. InvokeDynamic was introduced in Java 7 as a better alternative for implementing dynamic languages on the JVM. It allows for dynamic method linking at runtime without the need for proxies. The document demonstrates using InvokeDynamic in Weld to inject a bean without using a proxy by modifying the bytecode. Future work includes fully implementing CDI features like injection, interceptors and decorators using InvokeDynamic instead of proxies
Android Architecture Components with KotlinAdit Lal
The document discusses the Android Architecture Components including Lifecycle, LiveData, ViewModel, Room, and Paging. Lifecycle allows observing lifecycle states and automatically responding to configuration changes. LiveData allows building data objects that notify views of data changes. ViewModel stores UI-related data to survive configuration changes. Room provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access. Paging provides efficient loading of lists and data. The components help create scalable and testable applications by isolating and decoupling concerns.

Java 201 Intro to Test Driven Development in Javaagorolabs
This document provides an overview and agenda for a Java 201 course on test-driven development (TDD) in Java. It introduces TDD workflows and concepts like the feedback loop and test frameworks. The agenda covers setting up an IDE, writing the first unit test, test anatomy, and concludes with a hands-on exercise to build components of a card game using TDD.
Abstract: kaChing powers the largest social investment site on the web with nearly 500,000 registered users. Our mission is to make the investment world open by offering transparent investment vehicles that directly compete with mutual funds.
Over the past year and a half, we have built a large feature set and evolved our software continuously with very short iterations and (almost) no regression. In this talk, I will present our experience building a large test-driven code base from the ground up. Using concrete examples, we will have a look at component based APIs, declarative programming, minimizing the concepts of an API, specific cases of separation of concern and interactions with third-party software. We will look at multiple programming paradigms from languages such as Scala, shell script and Prolog and see how these ideas can be embedded as syntactic sugar in your Java.

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing.pdfssuserfac0301
Read Taking AI to the Next Level in Manufacturing to gain insights on AI adoption in the manufacturing industry, such as:
1. How quickly AI is being implemented in manufacturing.
2. Which barriers stand in the way of AI adoption.
3. How data quality and governance form the backbone of AI.
4. Organizational processes and structures that may inhibit effective AI adoption.
6. Ideas and approaches to help build your organization's AI strategy.
4. Why is there so much hype?
• Unveiled on July, 2011 by JetBrains and released Feb, 2016
• Received First Class support at Google I/O 2017
• A much better Java
• Provides support similar to other modern languages
• A boon for Java programmers writing verbose code
8. Kotlin Adoption
• Very soon, Kotlin is going to overtake Java (For Android)
• Libraries are popping up with Kotlin support
• New libraries are developed using Kotlin
• Sample apps and code are in Kotlin
• Medium is filled with wonders of Kotlin
9. Kotlin is growing and people
are Adopting it
So Why Bother about Java Developers?
10. Problems in Adopting Kotlin
• Have to learn an all new language 😫
• Team members not willing to learn a new language
• Company is not willing to spend time and money on R&D
• Fear of breaking what is already working fine
• Hard to find Kotlin experts to get the work done
11. Most of it is not their fault!
A lot of factors come into play that stops their adoption
12. What goes on in a Java developer's mind?
• The world is moving on leaving them behind
• See a new blog? It is in Kotlin
• An awesome library that they want? It is developed and
optimized for Kotlin
• Left with the default implementation of Kotlin
interoperability support
14. How Kotlin helps with interoperability
• Kotlin works out of box with Java (mostly)
• Java classes and methods can be used directly from Kotlin
• Kotlin classes and functions can be used from Java
• With very little effort, you can make Java developers’ life much
easier and write better looking code
16. Think about access scopes
What you think is invisible is available in plain sight!
1
17. Visibility Modifiers - Kotlin
• Private fields in Kotlin stay private in Java
• Private top-level declarations turns out to be package-local
declarations
• Protected members in Java are accessible to other classes in same
package
• Internal members become public after some name-mangling
• Public stay public
18. Be mindful of the class name
Name the class to make more sense
2
27. Does not show the receiver type. Might want
function name to give more context
fun String?.isNullorEmpty(): Boolean {
return this != null && this.isEmpty()
}
Kotlin
void nullOrEmptyDemo(String s) {
boolean nullorEmpty =
Utils.isNullorEmpty(s);
}
Java
41. Call properties by their names
There is no need of an accessor for everything
6
42. Accessing Properties by Name
• There are three scenarios where the properties of a
class can be accessed directly without getters and
setters from Java
• When the property is a `const`
• When the property is a `lateinit`
• When the property is annotated with `@JvmField`
43. class AmazingClass {
companion object {
const val BASE_URL_GOOGLE
= "www.google.com"
val BASE_URL
= "www.droidcon.at"
}
}
Kotlin
54. fun increaseValue(
givenValue: Int,
increaseBy: Int = 1): Int {
return givenValue + increaseBy
}
Kotlin
void increaseValueDemo() {
DemoKt.increaseValue(60,1);
}
Java
DemoKt.increaseValue(60);
This is an error. No methods match such signature
59. fun writeBytes(bytes: ByteArray) {
val file = File(“file_path")
val fos = FileOutputStream(file)
fos.write(bytes)
fos.close()
}
Kotlin
This line is going to throw
an exception
60. fun writeBytes(bytes: ByteArray) {
val file = File(“file_path")
val fos = FileOutputStream(file)
fos.write(bytes)
fos.close()
}
Kotlin
void exceptionDemo() {
byte[] bytes = new byte[];
DemoKt.writeBytes(bytes);
}
Java
Does not throw any compile time errors.
Silently crashes at Runtime
61. fun writeBytes(bytes: ByteArray) {
val file = File(“file_path")
val fos = FileOutputStream(file)
fos.write(bytes)
fos.close()
}
Kotlin
@Throws(IOException::class)
Document the exceptions that might
be thrown
62. fun writeBytes(bytes: ByteArray) {
val file = File(“file_path")
val fos = FileOutputStream(file)
fos.write(bytes)
fos.close()
}
Kotlin
@Throws(IOException::class)
void exceptionDemo() {
byte[] bytes = new byte[];
DemoKt.writeBytes(bytes);
}
Java
Shows a compile time error and provides an
option to surround with try catch block
63. Working with Function Types
Function types which return Unit might not be what you want
9
64. The pitfalls of Function Types
• Fan of higher order functions and lambdas?
• Kotlin higher-order functions are a very nice feature to use but should be used
carefully.
• If your function type returns `Unit`, then, when used from Java, it has to return
`Unit.INSTANCE` which is unidiomatic
• Alternatives are to use a SAM (Single Abstract Method) interface in Java or Kotlin
• This issue will soon be fixed in one of the Kotlin releases and until then, you can
use Function Types bearing in mind the inconveniences caused to Java consumers
67. interface Callback {
fun doSomething(value: Int)
}
fun lambdaExampleInterface(
callback: Callback) {
callback.doSomething(3)
}
Kotlin
We have a SAM interface
written in Kotlin
69. interface Callback {
fun doSomething(value: Int)
}
fun lambdaExampleInterface(
callback: Callback) {
callback.doSomething(3)
}
Kotlin
Kotlin
lambdaExampleInterface(object : Callback {
override fun doSomething(value: Int) {
//do something here
}
})
70. Java
interface Callback {
void doSomething(int value)
}
Kotlin
fun lambdaExampleInterface(
callback: Callback) {
callback.doSomething(3)
}
We have a SAM interface
written in Java
74. Collections - Handle with Care
• In Kotlin, collections are by default immutable (list, set, map etc)
• Meaning, you cannot add or modify values in the collection
• If a mutable version is required, the request should be explicit to
create a mutable version of the collection
• When exposing immutable collections through public APIs, Java
consumers can receive them and make changes to it, causing
inconsistency
