Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Kotlin is a statically-typed language that runs on the JVM. Developed by a small JetBrains team in St. Petersburg, Kotlin is one of the hottest upcoming languages being used around the world. We're here to grow together as an open-source community and to learn collaboratively!
From content on the Kotlin language itself to programming paradigms to frameworks, we encourage anyone to submit content on anything Kotlin related. Our goal is learn collaboratively, meaning that the Kotlin Thursdays team is ready to help you submit content to share with others.
Every Thursday, we release new content every season. We have blogs available here in KotlinTown. This season, we're creating webisodes to compliment that content. Code and documentation related to content is available on Github.
Interested in contributing? Head over Github to learn how you can get started :)
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
