Details
• What we’ll do
Kotlin Night Uganda is a half-day conference that includes two streams with talks on Kotlin or related technologies, organized by Uganda Kotlin User Group and supported by JetBrains.
The audience of the conference is Kotlin and Java/Android developers, and everyone who would like to deep dive into Kotlin

• Why Kotlin?
– Google is adding Kotlin as an official programming language for Android development
– Kotlin projects, in general, require 15–20% less code than Java (Basecamp)
– Teams that have migrated projects from Java to Kotlin have reported up to 30% fewer defects post-migration (Pinterest)
– “Java is doing really well. Kotlin is increasing significantly. Scala is doing OK, but I wonder if Kotlin is taking away the potential for its growth” – Rod Johnson, Spring Creator
– The first ever KotlinConf sold out to over 1200 attendees
