Kotlin Coroutines. Deep Dive 2nd ed

Mehr zum Buch

Kotlin coroutines have transformed JVM development, particularly for Android and backend applications, by enabling efficient and reliable multithreading. This book delves into the workings of Kotlin coroutines and demonstrates how to enhance applications using built-in support and the kotlinx.coroutines library. With a practical approach, it emphasizes real-life use cases and provides examples throughout. As this technology gains traction in Android and backend development, the book highlights best practices for its implementation. Targeted at Kotlin developers eager to grasp Kotlin Coroutines for real-world projects, the content primarily addresses backend and Android scenarios while also offering insights applicable to other platforms. The book is structured into three parts: 1. Understanding Kotlin Coroutines – an introduction to the fundamentals and mechanics of coroutines. 2. Kotlin Coroutines Library – an exploration of key concepts from the kotlinx.coroutines library and effective usage. 3. Channel and Flow – a detailed look at Channel and Flow from the kotlinx.coroutines library. Based on a workshop experience, the book focuses on topics that have sparked the most interest among attendees, including the inner workings of coroutines, practical applications, best practices, and testing methodologies, as well as an explanation of Flow and its functionality.
