Kotlin + Android: Coroutine-first Android architecture w/ Rick Busarow @ GrubHub

This month we have a very special meetup! We will be joining forces with The Chicago Kotlin Users Group for a great night of Kotlin and Android at the GrubHub office.

The pairing is natural. Kotlin makes Android easier and more enjoyable to write. The Chicago User Group meet normal on the second Tuesday of the month. They are a great group, you can learn more here:

We will have a great presentation from Rick Busarow!

"Coroutine-first Android architecture"

Coroutines are the new hot stuff, and right now they’re being added to lots of libraries. But what if you don’t want to use an alpha01 in production code? What can coroutines do on their own, right now?
In this talk, we’ll discuss the power behind structured concurrency and how we can use it to make our entire stack lifecycle-aware. We’ll look at examples of how to turn any callback or long-running code into a coroutine, and we’ll go over when and how to use Channels to handle hot streams of data without leaking. Finally, and most importantly, we’ll see how we can use these tools to inform our application architecture, so that we can quickly write maintainable and testable features.

Please RSVP and Join us! Eat some pizza, have a soda or a beer and meet some new faces from the Chicago tech community .

See you there!
