Kotlin is a superb choice for JVM development, and now the recommended language for Android. With Kotlin Native you can bring the power and simplicity of Kotlin to platforms where Virtual Machines are not applicable or desirable. Kotlin Native uses LLVM to produce native instructions that execute directly on the target platform e.g. MacOS, ARM and WebAssembly.

In this course you will learn how to use Kotlin alongside native applications and libraries written in C, C++, Objective-C and Swift. You will learn how to generate Kotlin library wrappers using headers from these other languages. With the generated wrappers you will write Kotlin that easily calls into native API’s and makes marshalling data back and forth trivial. You will also learn how to consume Kotlin Native libraries from other environments.

Finally, you will see how this fits into the wider Kotlin ecosystem by creating multi-platform projects that target the JVM, Android, JS and Native platforms.


Delegates must be confident Kotlin developers. Prior exposure to C/C++ terminology and concepts is very helpful but not essential.


  • Understand where Kotlin Native fits in the ecosystem
  • Use Kotlin to create native apps, libraries and frameworks
  • Know which libraries are available on what platforms
  • Be comfortable consuming C and Objective-C libraries
  • Have confidence manually managing C data type memory
  • Create hierarchical Gradle multi-platform projects

Fast Track to Kotlin Native Training Course in Switzerland

Switzerland, or officially known as the Swiss Confederation, is a federated country of central Europe. Because of its linguistic diversity, Switzerland is known by a variety of native names, such as Schweiz, Suisse, Svizzera and Svizra. While Bern is the administrative capital, Lausanne is the judicial centre of Switzerland. Zurich, Geneva and Basel are bases of some important international organisations such as the WTO, the WHO and FIFA. The country is well-known for its high welfare; Switzerland has the highest nominal wealth per adult.

Alongside the beautiful scenery, tourists visit Switzerland for the country's cultural attractions. There are many museums, galleries and historic buildings within popular cities such as Zurich, Geneva, and Lausanne. One of the most popular things to do is a train journey to the Top of Europe; Jungfraujoch. The longest glacier in Europe, the Great Aletsch Glacier begins at Jungfraujoch, and is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
