Multiple factors shape the experience of our users. As a mobile developer, but also as an engineering manager, I learned that nothing is more likely to drive users away than a poorly performing app. So this is why we, as developers, should focus on continuously improving this attribute.
On November 13th, I participated at DevFest Romania 2021 as a co-organiser, moderator and speaker. It’s the 7th edition, so it is actually a tradition for me to be part of this event.
On October 29th, at droidcon London, I talked about how to achieve high performance with idiomatic Kotlin.
Multiple factors shape the experience of our users. However, nothing is more likely to drive users away than a poorly performing app and this is why we, as developers, should focus on continuously improving this attribute.
In my talk, I will emphasize the role of performance, how we can measure it, what are the main reasons that contribute to lower performance, and finally, how to use Kotlin to solve all these challenges.
Kotlin’s philosophy is to create a modern and pragmatic language for the industry, not an academic one. So I will focus on showing why developers love this language and how it could help us to build quality products by writing maintainable, secure, and expressive Kotlin code in an idiomatic way.
