Kotlin for C# Developers
summary
Compares C# 8 features to Kotlin 1.3 with concrete code examples and tooling: shows Kotlin 1.3 co-routines replacing callback-heavy async, demonstrates data class one-liners and companion object statics, and walks through nullable/reference type differences and generics. Includes a side‑by‑side Android demo (Kotlin app vs Xamarin.Android app), discusses JVM/JS/Native compilers, and mentions IDEs (IntelliJ/Android Studio, Visual Studio, Rider). Watch if you want practical syntax translations and platform/tooling tradeoffs rather than marketing fluff.
