MOBILE DEVELOPERS: PICK UP THIS LANGUAGE IN 2018!
In 2018, Android mobile development will be experiencing tremendous growth. If you want to hop on that (very lucrative) train, and search for new development jobs in mobile development, here’s one language you might want to pick up: Kotlin. Never heard of it? (Or haven’t heard much about it?) Here’s why IT staffing firms think Kotlin can expand your tech career!
What is Kotlin exactly? Kotlin is programming language that is completely compatible with Java. It’s also made to be a strong alternative to Java for a few reasons. Kotlin is less verbose than Java and doesn’t require NPE’s. This makes it cleaner, faster to use, and arguably less vulnerable to errors or memory leaks. It’s also easier to implement, troubleshoot, and faster to code in. Kotlin isn’t just some shiny new tool, though. It’s around 8 years old (though it only went open source in around 2012) and meant for enterprise projects. Like Java, it’s object-oriented and open source, which makes it ideal for budget-conscious companies.
