Kotlin Vs Java its now become a trendy and hot topic in today’s era.Everyone is familiar with java. So before start blog I would like to explore about Kotlin. Earlier developers used Java for android apps or C/C++. But Few years ago Android officially announced Kotlin as its first supported language. Kotlin History Kotlin introduced in 2011 by JetBrains. The main reason to create kotlin was to make something better than Java in every possible way. Kotlin was made inter-operable with java because JetBrains did not put an effort to write an entire new IDE’s from scratch. Which one is better for Android- Kotlin Vs Java When kotlin released after that every developer started thinking about which one is better for android kotlin or java. So this becomes a huge debate of kotlin vs Java. I will clear some doubts for this I am gone a tell you about features of both (kotlin and java) . JAVA Java is favorite language from the beginning because it is a general purpose programming language and object oriented class based language. Without any doubt java is the most effective and growing programming language ever created. Advantages of Java Platform Independent: This is a main feature of java that it is a platform independent language. It means it has the ability of maneuver simply from one system to a different. Flexible: Java can run in browser window or even virtual machine. You can reuse code and update software in java. Java ensures faster build process than java. Java language is secure It has a potential for a program many tasks at the same time at intervals a program. Disadvantage Of Java It requires more code which can be a reason of errors and bugs. It’s slower in comparison to many other languages and requires a lot of money. Java has limitations that cause problems with Android API design. Kotlin The main motive to develop Kotlin was to add some additional features to Java for handy mobile applications. Kotlin is based on Java virtual machine and kotlin language is a statically and open source language. Kotlin codes can also run on ISO and compile it to JavaScript. You just need to install kotlin plugin and configure it to your project. Advantages of Kotlin Switching from java to kotlin is very easy because you need to just install kotlin plugin. It cost nothing except for learning and training. Possibility of error is lesser than java. Got a lot of traction in Android development, but it’s also being used in backend projects such as Spring 5 Disadvantages of Kotlin Its tricky to find kotlin mentor for a team because kotlin developers are still a rarity. Kotlin is new as compare to java so for kotlin problems it is difficult to find answer. Android compilation tends to run slower in comparison to pure java project. How Can Switch From Java To Kotlin Be Helpful? In Kotlin vs java race everyone want to swtich from java to kotlin because its a modern language and it has many benefits as compare to java Kotlin is newer than java as I mentioned advantaged of Kotlin there are many option available in kotlin which were not available in Java. We can build a project with both java and kotlin codes. Because kotlin is simultaneously operable with java. Kotlin has the majority of Java and frameworks. Kotlin is an enhancement of Java, so a java developer or an existing java application user will be easily able to comprehend what Kotlin cod e is doing. It looks familiar, the code is easy to read and understand.

Before going forward first I want to tell you concept of AGILE Methodology. So let’s start. What Is Agile Methodology? AGILE methodology is an easiest and best method to develop and test the software as compare to other methods like Spiral Method and Waterfall Method. Here I said easiest and best let’s understand these words in agile method. It means that AGILE Methodology is practice to promote continuous iteration of development and testing. Let’s understand it in deep. AGILE means the ability to responds changes- changes from Requirements, Technology, and People. Here we will talk about Technology which is software development. Before AGILE Methodology we have Iteration and incremental process. In Incremental process development divided into parts but these parts does not work till the completion of whole software. Besides this Iteration process also divides the development but after completion of one part it starts working. But AGILE Methodology is a combination of both Iteration and Incremental process. Clients can interact with their project any time during the process. Clients/Customer involvement is there always. They can interact anytime. Engineering actions are carried out by cross functional team. It means that all the team members will be experts. No one will handle others work that individual experts will handle their own work. Like management team, marketing team, UI expert etc. In this developers and testers work together with the involvement of customer. To make it more simple for you I am gone tell you about other methods so that you can understand it and can compare and relate it with other methods. After all the older methods AGILE come forward in market you can say that it inherit some qualities from other methods. Advantages of Waterfall included in AGILE Simple To Implement: why I am telling simple to implement because it has sprints. Sprint is just like one phase. It divided the work into small sprints. After completion of one sprint (eg: designing, development) you can check the working process of the part. Client and project manager can interact with each other after completion of one sprint. Here is used word Sprint, it means all the task is divided into small parts if one part is complete then it called one sprint. As mention below: Advantages of Protocol Method Included In AGILE Users are actively involved in the development. Same happened in the AGILE Method like if one sprint is complete than project owner or user can access it and check if there is any other requirement or not. Due to involvement of clients or customers errors can be detected in much earlier stage. Missing functionality can be identified easily. Advantages of Spiral Model Included In AGILE In spiral method it divides product in different prototypes. Like if one prototype is completed then client can see the working of that prototype. With the discussion of client errors and corrections can easily do in that stage. Basically AGILE methodology is a combination of waterfall method and spiral method as I said before. How We Can Do Work With Agile Methodology The picture given below explains everything. What customer wants and AGILE Delivers to Customer First of all as I told you before again and again that customer involvement. The owner of that particular product should aware about his product completion stages. Here I used word transparency it means that there should be proper interaction between product owner and developers. So that owner could know that which part is complete and which part is in process. Due to this it will be easy for customer to predict that in how many days his product will ready to work. After that I told you that in AGILE method we work in sprint (small chunks). When one sprint is completed then it should be on working stage. Like if you developed five pages website, in that website if two pages are ready and if product owner can start his site or web application with these two pages then we have to focus on users. AGILE Methodology improves quality of product because in this we have experts for each department. Because we know how many team members we need for one single product we can predict the cost of that product. It allow changes because we divided the product in small sprints if is there any changes required than we can change it in next sprint. This advantage is taken from RAD Method.
