"Introduction to Kotlin" workshop, 12th December 2022

Contains starter project

• You can fork this repository into your own account, and clone it to make it your own. It includes mvnw, so you can just build and run (provided you have Java 11, see later)
• For the best experience, use the starter with IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition

$ ./mvnw clean install

Pre-requisites

• The workshop will be available virtually on Zoom
• We will use some online paste board to share links, etc. If all participants are able to join the same Slack workspace, we might create and use a channel for this purpose.

Setup

• In the event you cannot setup local tools or an IDE, you can still write and run most Kotlin code online using the Kotlin Playground
• Prefer to setup Kotlin locally as follows

# install sdkman from https://sdkman.io

$ sdk ls java 			# lists multiple available Java versions
$ sdk install java 11.0.2-open  # we will use Java 11
$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9, mixed mode)

$ sdk install kotlin
$ kotlin -version
Kotlin version 1.7.21-release-272 (JRE 11.0.2+9)

• You can also obtain and install the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (features integrated support for Kotlin)
