Kotlin Coroutines

Description

Coroutines with Kotlin represents one of the most interesting and fasinating challenges in the software engineering world. It’s an opportunity to implement complex concurrent tasks in an elegant and performant way. Reading this book will give you the opportunity to learn the basic concepts about multithreading and how concurrent programming can be simplified using Kotlin and Coroutines. Kotlin is a general purpose, open source, statically typed “pragmatic” programming language for the JVM that combines object-oriented and functional programming features. It originated at JetBrains, the company that drives IntelliJ IDEA, and has been open source since 2012. At Google I/O 2017 Kotin was officially supported by Google as the main language for developing Android applications. It is a language focused on interoperability, safety, clarity, and tooling support. It is also important to mention its multiplatform support with JavaScript (ECMAScript 5.1) and native code (using LLVM).
