    Why install Beta? ➡️ If you work on a complex multi-module project, it may streamline your experience when you adopt the Stable release version. ➡️ If you’re a library author, working with EAP versions allows you to support the latest Kotlin versions in your library almost immediately with the Stable release, which makes your users happier and your library more popular. ➡️ If you’re a Kotlin enthusiast and enjoy contributing to the Kotlin ecosystem by creating educational content, trying new features in the Kotin EAP allows you to be among the first to share the experience of using the new cool features with the community. Let us know if one of these descriptions applies to you by voting below this message. Respond with: 1️⃣ if you’re working on a complex multi-module project 2️⃣ if you are a library author 3️⃣ if you are a Kotlin enthusiast

The new frontend is already available for preview – we’re continually polishing and stabilizing it and plan to make it the default compiler frontend in a future Kotlin release. We’ve decided to name this future release Kotlin 2.0. Learn more about the release roadmap and what to expect from Kotlin 2.0 Try out the new compiler frontend and give us feedback!

    Kotlin webinars are a great way to sharpen your Kotlin skills and explore the possibilities of various developer tools! Check out our webinar schedule for the next 2 weeks and choose the webinars that interest you the most or, if you’re feeling brave, attempt them all! 📹 Advanced Kotlin Techniques for Spring Developers As a seasoned developer, you’re likely already familiar with Spring. Kotlin can take your developer experience with Spring to the next level! Join this webinar and learn how to: • Add new functionality to existing classes with Kotlin extension functions. • Use Kotlin bean definition DSL. • Better configure your application using
    lateinit
    . • Use sequences and default argument values to write more expressive code. By the end of this talk, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the advanced Kotlin techniques that are available to you as a Spring developer, and be able to use them effectively in your projects. 📆 Tuesday, February 14, 15:00 (UTC +2) 👉 Register 📹 Graceful Resource Handling Using Structured Concurrency in Kotlin Modern programming often requires us to make strong guarantees about how our applications terminate. One way to do this is through the use of structured concurrency, which allows us to reason about parallel processes and how they relate to each other. In this session, we will learn how to use Arrow’s Resource Domain-Specific Language (DSL) to reason about resource safety in the same way we use structured concurrency to avoid leaking resources. We will also see how this can be combined with KotlinX Coroutines to build complex use cases in a simple and elegant way using Kotlin DSLs. 📆 Thursday, February 16, 19:00 (UTC +2) 👉 Register 📹 Creative Coding With Kotlin and OPENRNDR This talk will look at the OPENRNDR library and its capabilities as a tool for visually stunning artwork. We’ll begin with an introduction to the library and cover drawing basic shapes like circles and rectangles. The focus of the talk will be a live coding session where we create a simple GUI and explore the compositor framework, showing the library in action and how it can be used to create complex visuals. We’ll conclude by showing how to create screenshots and videos of OPENRNDR projects to share them with the world. Join us to learn how to unleash the creative potential of OPENRNDR and create amazing visuals! 📆 Wednesday, February 22, 18:00 (UTC +2) 👉 Register (edited)
