DESCRIPTION:As part of New England Java User Group Meetings:\n\nAt Google I
 /O 2017\, the Android team announced official first-class support for Kotl
 in. Kotlin\, developed by JetBrains - the company behind the IntelliJ IDE\
 , compiles to JVM bytecode. It has many characteristics that make it also 
 a great fit for developing server-side applications\, including Expressive
 ness\, Scalability\, Interoperability\, Migration\, Tooling\, and Learning
  Curve.\n\nKotlin is touted as being targeted at multiple platforms: JVM/A
 ndroid\, JavaScript\, and Native (Linux\, Mac OS\, iOS).\n\nIn this talk\,
  we will dive into basic syntax fairly broadly though not in depth. Topics
  include:\n\n- Functions as expressions\n- Conditions as expressions\n- Nu
 llable/non-nullable values and alternate idioms to ensure null safety\n- T
 ype checks and automatic smart casts\, safe casting\n- When-expressions ('
 when' improves on Java's 'switch' but can be an expression as well as a st
 atement)\n- Ranges\n- Functional literals\, aka lambda expressions -- time
  permitting\n- Closure\n- Classes and inheritance\, Class properties\; Vis
 ibility modifiers\n- Extensions to extend a class without having to inheri
 t it\n\nMy favorite features are Extensions\, and Java Interoperability.\n
 \nDon't let only Google and Android developers have all the fun with Kotli
 n\; find out for yourself what is all that jazz about Kotlin.\n\nSpeaker(s
