Thanks y'all for coming! You were fun to speak with. Slides and resources are here. https://github.com/thomasnield/kotlin_data_science_talk_ChicagoJUG/blob/master/README.md

Hello everyone! I really enjoyed last night's talks they were super awesome and super dope. In case we didn't get a chance to talk, please let me know if you're interested in joining Kotlin Thursdays, please let me know! By the way, if you wish to see John's talk again on DSL's, we have video recordings here (and we'll be updating soon on medium for his blog) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUwuwqlhL-YGre6B6ZMDb3w/playlists

Thanks for coming out everyone! Great talk @Ryan Perkins ❤️ We've been listening to your responses from our survey - so here's a lineup for the next few meet ups! They're already up on meetup.com if you'd like to check out the details and what the office spaces look like!

Hey everyone, thank you so much for listening to me rant about Kotlin for a bit. My slides are available on SpeakerDeck: https://speakerdeck.com/codyengel/kotlin-2-half-years-later If you have any follow-up questions, feedback on my talk, or want to hear about ActiveCampaign feel free to message me on https://engel.dev (the purple chat bubble) or on LinkedIn.

Damn I missed a rant!

Please vote for: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-708

Lets do another one like that. The only thing I would add is a design group work at the beginning so we agree on things (in the case from yesterday, topic names and message types)

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez (and anybody else) Do you think we could try to develop something for https://www.jetbrains.com/education/?fromMenu#lang=kotlin&role=learner

If you're doing a lightning talk and have, send over the slides to me tonight or tomorrow morning!

June 26 is Kotlin Night Chicago at Pivotal Labs. We’re honored and incredibly lucky to have two amazing speakers, @thomasnield and @vgonda Event starts at 5:00pm instead of the regular 5:30pm time, so be sure to plan accordingly!

CFP is open for 38 more days for Kotlin Everywhere in Chicago! We are welcoming experienced and first time speakers alike. You can make submissions and purchase your tickets on our event’s shiny new website! http://chicago.kotlineverywhere.com

Serious question: With Kotlin 1.3.40 release, what version of coroutines should I be using?

1.2.2 = Kotlin updated to 1.3.40
1.3.0-M1 = Obviously a milestone release, but has more features, but hasn't been updated since 1.3.40

@wakingrufus I want to see your de-gutted spring example

hey @vgonda do you want to give your talk for Kotlin/Everywhere? just add more hedgehogs and cats

Very excited to see @Rick Busarow’s talk on Android and coroutines today tomorrow at Grubhub! It should be really insightful, even for non Android folks.

That moment you write some Kotlin code and be like "why weren't you in my life earlier?!?" Mocking Spring beans has never been so much fun!

Okay, you can now catch Victoria’s and Thomas’ talks on Youtube

I’m hoping more places start hiring junior Android devs. There’s so much demand, but everyone wants senior devs.

Have you RSVP’ed for tomorrow’s event at ShopRunner? We hope to see you there! https://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Kotlin/events/264325612/

Hi all, we're doing a Corda (built on Kotlin) bootcamp next month in Chicago. Would love to see members of the community there! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/corda-blockchain-bootcamp-chicago-tickets-75364301655

Eeeeeek, this was an old convo, but is Slack inaccessible? I’ve asked everyone on my team at work to join this community, it has been a bit nicer than StackOverflow at times

@sam check it out! https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/languages-and-frameworks/kotlintest

A cool series in general, but I don't think you even need a new compiler to do fun exploits with the jvm 😄

I wish there was a "how to make your Kotlin app secure"

If anyone is looking for a job, I am launching a new company early next year with a super talented team. We are using Kotlin, Flutter, and TensorFlow. Prior experience with those tools are not required, as training will be provided. We welcome folks from all backgrounds! We will be based out of Chicago, but full-time remote work is an option. Our pay is competitive and we will be providing some awesome benefits. We value work-life balance so unlike many startups your time outside of work will be respected! Also, interviews will be chill and won't involve ridiculous problems designed to make you feel bad. We'll just get together, chat about the platform and product, work on some actual project work, and see if we like working together. No crazy questions about foobar or fibonacci algorithms or some obscure fact about the JVM! At this time we are not yet ready to publicly announce the product due to NDAs, but I am authorized to discuss privately on behalf of the executive team as CTO, and would love to introduce you to the rest of the leadership team! At this time I am able to say that it will involve building a distributed platform that involves machine learning. There will be a web and mobile component. We are currently looking to hire 1 or 2 engineers some time early next year (February/March timeframe), and ramp up another 4 engineers over the next year.

ok now I'm curious about what that secret project is
