About the Event
Kotlin Night Uganda is a half-day conference that includes two streams with talks on Kotlin or related technologies, organized by Uganda Kotlin User Group and supported by JetBrains. It will run from 9:00am.
The audience of the conference is Kotlin and Java/Android developers, and everyone who would like to deep dive into Kotlin
Why Kotlin?

- Teams that have migrated projects from Java to Kotlin have reported up to 30% fewer defects post-migration (Pinterest)
- "Java is doing really well. Kotlin is increasing significantly. Scala is doing OK, but I wonder if Kotlin is taking away the potential for its growth" - Rod Johnson, Spring Creator
