The Essence of Coroutines

In Kotlin and other languages, coroutines are often seen as just async/await. But the essence of coroutines is much simpler and easier to understand. In this video, I'll boil down coroutines to their most fundamental properties.

great content!🙌🏻

[@Doruko666]

Can't get tired of your content, how about talking about differences between interfaces, sealed interfaces and sealed classes?

[@typealias]

Thanks so much! I'll add that to my list of ideas for future videos!

[@L4szcZ]

I am learning few years already and still thinking I am dumb

[@typealias]

In the software development industry, there's always so much more to learn. That feeling of inadequacy is pretty common, even across different experience levels. Just stay honest about what you know and what you don't know, always be willing to learn more, and stay focused on learning the things that will be the most helpful for you.

[@vivekgupta5749]

This reminds me of the quote "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein.

[@ChrisAthanas]

It's like that the whole damn way, that's why understanding each part takes time and builds on the previous... you either like that process and just keep going or you hate it and quit.

[@xpynim]

nice 👍

[@henrik908]

Thank you

[@starry_shivam]

Great video as always! Btw, can you please tell me which IDE theme you use?

[@typealias]

Thanks so much! Yes, the main UI Theme is "Dark", and the Editor Color Scheme is "Darcula". I'm pretty sure I made a few small changes to the levels to increase contrast, but the core colors of the editor are from Darcula.

[@starry_shivam]

@@typealias thanks!!

[@shrinivasmanjithaya2112]

This is cool...

[@gamarmustafa]

hey Dave! will you be selling physical version of your book? I would love to buy one if you did)

[@typealias]

Hey, thanks for asking! Yes, I'm planning to make a print edition available after the digital version is complete. I'll need to finalize Chapter 20, add a few appendices, and rework some images for better print quality - so it might be a few months out yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

[@gamarmustafa]

@@typealias great news😍. can't wait)

[@gauravthakkar802]

Dave, what do you do for a living?\

[@typealias]

Hi Gaurav! I do software development as an independent contractor, but this year I'm almost exclusively focused on serving the Kotlin community, exploring whether it's possible to make that a sustainable business.
