"Kotlin is a modern, cross-platform, multi-purpose programming language." - Kotlin official press kit

So , I recently completed a course on Coursera named “Kotlin for Java Developers” and therefore I feel I am the right person for one of the most hot trending question “Kotlin or Java”.

Today I am going to talk about how to design Pure Function and help you understand the benefits of pure function.

Have you decided to make your Android app multilingual? I guess that even if you haven't yet, you know about strings.xml and values-XX folders. Localizing your app should be easier than handling XML files. And it can be!

The most common Kotlin libraries that are used for cross-platform and Android development, testing, and documentation are considered in the article.

Programming has been one of the most in-demand and highly-paid skills for the last two decades, and the demand is only increasing. In addition to this demand and popularity in the market, working as a developer also provides a lot of flexibility. You can work from wherever you want and contribute to projects all around the world. All of these reasons make software development highly compatible with the freelancing lifestyle.

Those days have long passed when cross-platform mobile applications used to have a single avenue—React Native. Things have changed very fast as people looked for new ways to gain more and more users in the mobile app domain.

Technology has made our lives easier with several forms of implementation that are seen in different professional fields. As most individuals began to efficiently program computers, programming languages with powerful tendencies and functionalities were born.

An introduction to Kotlin coroutines compared to Futures/Promises such as Reactor’s Mono or Java’s CompletableFuture

Most modern mobile apps carry out asynchronous operations, operations that would require the user to wait while the app is busy. Creating nice interactive loaders that match the purpose of your app will greatly improve the user experience in your app. For example the gif above showcases an example where i used an animation of a washing machine as a loading animation in a laundromat Android application. The process of creating animations on android application as been greatly simplified by the guys at Lottie: https://lottiefiles.com/. In this little article, i would outline the steps required to utilize these animations to make awesome loaders for Android.

At the moment, the TIOBE index monitors 265 popular programming languages. The TIOBE includes a language on the list if it matches three key requirements: it is Turing complete, has its own Wikipedia page, and provides more than 5,000 search results on Google. 

At the beginning of the year, when I started building Archbee, I evaluated some cool tech out there. Here’s the list of tech I think will change the world in ways we can’t even predict.

Visitor pattern is dead. Long live to Visitor pattern. (With Kotlin examples)

When you think about Android development, chances are one programming language immediately springs to mind and that is Java.

The technology world is an ever-growing and expanding one, which today has many segments of its own. From that, app development is a highly evolving one. Dart Vs. Kotlin is the prime example of this.

Sometimes we need to close some thread, and we can't just kill the thread as we need to free resources and close connections.

When it comes to the project and its realization, you should take into consideration lots of aspects. And the choice of the technology stack is one of the crucial things that can define how successful and smooth your project will be. Depending on the idea and requirements of your application, site or product, you may find and select a proper programming language (PL).

With Android 9 (API level 28), Google officially started supporting what’s famously known as the notch, a cutout display at the top (because the last two years were the years of the notch?). I can’t claim that but with the notch support, most of the brands came out with their version of a cutout display and with that, we as developers need to think about yet another edge case, especially if we’re working with a completely immersive experience.

In the last 10 years, more and more languages that run on the JVM have been developed but they look and feel nothing like Java. One such language is Kotlin.

This post is about providing a solution in Kotlin for finding all valid IP addresses that can be formed by inserting dots into a given string of digits.

When we are developing an android application it is common to come across a situation where we want to show an image somewhere in the app.The easiest way to handle this is to bundle the image along with the app but the downside to it would be increasing the size of the app. It is not feasible if the application needs to display a lot of high resolution images.So, the next best thing is to host the image in some server and download it from there when the app starts. This is where image caching plays a very important role. We download the image once and store it in our cache and reuse it whenever required. This post will show how we can do that using just one annotation using the ColdStorage library.

I have talked to many Android developers, and most of them are excited about Kotlin. So am I. When I just started learning Kotlin, I was solving Kotlin Koans, and along with other great features, I was impressed with the power of functions for performing operations on collections.
