Kenya meetup group! We are a collective bunch of lovely people from all different backgrounds interested in this fun(ctional) language that is taking the programming world by storm (well, at least in the JVM arena!) In this group we will meet periodically to make this language and its ecosystem known. If you like to program and look for a more modern alternative to develop applications for the JVM, join!</p> <p>Come join us and learn more about this neat language, the ecosystem surrounding it and what Kotlin can do for you! We hope to have interesting presenters/talks and presentations on a regular basis...please do shout up if you would like to see something related to Kotlin.</p> <p>We chat here also: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc" href="https://t.me/kotlinKenya" class="linkified">https://t.me/kotlinKenya</a></p></div></div><div class="h-5"></div></div><div><div class="flex justify-between mb-4"><h2 id="upcoming-section" class="ds-font-title-3">Upcoming events (2)</h2><a id="see-all-upcoming-events-button" data-event-label="see-all-upcoming-events-button" data-event-category="GroupHome" href="https://www.meetup.com/kotlinkenya/events/" rel="" class="text-viridian">See all</a></div><ul class="flex flex-col space-y-5"><li><div id="e-1" class="rounded-md bg-white p-4 shadow-sm sm:p-5"><a id="event-card-e-1" data-event-label="event-card-1" data-event-category="GroupHome" href="https://www.meetup.com/kotlinkenya/events/305644092/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events" class="flex h-full flex-col justify-between space-y-5 outline-offset-8 hover:no-underline"><div class="flex flex-col space-y-5 overflow-hidden"><div class="grid gap-2 d1hetqt0"><div class="flex w-full flex-col space-y-3"><time class="text-[#00829B] text-sm font-medium uppercase">Tue, Feb 11, 2025, 8:00 AM UTC</time><span class="ds-font-title-3 block break-words leading-7 utils_cardTitle__sAAHG">Free OPEN Passes to DeveloperWeek 2025</span><div class="flex items-start space-x-1.5"><div class="h-5 w-5"><div style="width:20px;height:20px"></div></div><span class="text-gray6">Link visible for attendees</span></div><div class="flex space-x-2"></div></div><div class="relative hidden aspect-video rounded-lg shadow-lg sm:block"><img id="image-e-1" alt="Free OPEN Passes to DeveloperWeek 2025 cover photo" title="Free OPEN Passes to DeveloperWeek 2025" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" class="aspect-video min-w-[180px] rounded-lg object-cover object-top" style="position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent" src="https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/5/a/2/event_525746018.webp"/></div></div><div class="hidden md:block"><div inert="true" class="utils_cardDescription__1Qr0x max-h-[60px] text-sm"><p class="mb-4">Register here: https://www.devnetwork.com/registration/?event=DeveloperWeek%202025&utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MU7965&discount=MU7965</p> <p class="mb-4"><a href="https://www.devnetwork.com/registration/?event=DeveloperWeek%202025&utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MU7965&discount=MU7965" target="_blank" class="!text-viridian" rel="nofollow ugc">You must register at the link above (and not just indicate that you are attending here on Meetup).</a></p> <p class="mb-4">DeveloperWeek 2025 (Feb 11-13, Santa Clara, CA) + (Feb 18-20, Live Online) is the world’s largest independent engineering conference & expo where thousands of developers, engineers, software architects, managers, and executives converge to discover the latest engineering innovations.

meetup. Here's what we have lined up for you.</p> <p class="mb-4"><strong>Event Highlights</strong></p> <p class="mb-4"><strong>Session 1: Mambo Bryan - Bug Squashers, Feature Code: How Streeek Engineers Build, Ship, and Repeat</strong><br> In this session, you’ll learn how the Streeek team launched an app in just one month while maintaining a 90% crash-free experience and consistent 5-star ratings. We’ll explore the engineering considerations behind rapid development, including leveraging open-source tools, reducing infrastructure costs with free platforms, and maintaining high-quality standards through code reviews and pair programming. You’ll also discover how we approach feature iteration—turning user feedback into actionable improvements while shipping updates quickly. Whether you’re curious about open-source practices, cost-effective engineering, or fast-paced product iteration, this session has something for you!</p> <p class="mb-4"><strong>Session 2: Benard Mathu - Mastering Efficient Data Loading with Android Paging</strong><br> Pagination in mobile applications is an essential skill to have for anyone working on mobile applications especially apps that require long lists. This will be evident when you notice lagging on list and recycler views due to scalability issues.</p> <p class="mb-4">Technologies you may need to understand before the session:</p> <ul class="pl-5 list-disc mb-4"> <li>Application architecture and components used</li> <li>Jetpack Compose or Android MDC</li> </ul> <p class="mb-4"><strong>Session 3: Sam Ngigi - Hai- Expenses Tracking app Feedback</strong><br> Sharing & getting feedback for Hai an Android Kotlin expenses tracking app for mobile transactions.</p> <p class="mb-4"><strong>Event Details:</strong></p> <ul class="pl-5 list-disc mb-4"> <li><strong>Date:</strong> 22nd February</li> <li><strong>Time:</strong> 11:00 am - 3:00 pm</li> <li><strong>Venue:</strong> Daystar University- Nairobi Campus, Mbagathi Way.</li> </ul> <p class="mb-4">Looking forward to seeing you at the meetup.</p></div></div></div><div><div class="flex items-center justify-between"><div class="text-medium text-gray6"><div class="relative
