The Art of KMP: how I learned backend development with Kotlin and why you should too

Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs KMP is not only KMM. You can also build web and desktop apps! And Kotlin doesn’t only work for Android, as many may think. You can build a backend for your app. If you’re looking for a side project or just curious, I would suggest you try backend development with Kotlin. When I was starting with KMPizza I had a number of questions: Is it reasonable/worth it to start learning Backend development with Kotlin? May be there is something different from Kotlin? I've heard good things about Go. Or should I rather choose Java frameworks as they are more mature? Which framework is good to choose for a beginner? Kotlin Spring probably benefits from the maturity of Java Spring, whereas I have seen and heard more about Ktor implementations. Also using Ktor in the client side in KMM may be a good addition to learning backend with Ktor. Any tutorials/starter projects/guides/learning kits? In this talk I’m going to share what answers I found and how I learned backend development with Kotlin. Talk by: Lena Stepanova #multiplatform #KotlinConf
