Effortless Concurrency with Arrow-FX on Android by Stojan Anastasov (@s_anastasov)

The Kotlinx Coroutines library enables developers to write responsive, scalable, safe, and efficient code for asynchronous APIs. However, it can sometimes be limited when dealing with numerous suspended computations.

Arrow-Fx expands on the capabilities of the Kotlinx coroutines library with additional functions. In this presentation, we'll explore a practical scenario involving an Android application communicating with a backend via a REST API. Utilizing Arrow-Fx operators, our goal is to simplify our code and enhance its efficiency. Additionally, we'll delve into the Schedule data type, enabling us to build resilient apps that gracefully handle failures through compositional retry mechanisms.

By the end of this talk, attendees will discover how the Arrow-Fx library can drastically simplify the development process, allowing them to create powerful and efficient Android applications with minimal effort.

Stojan is a versatile software engineer currently working at Axel Springer. His software development journey began in 2012 when he bought the Galaxy Nexus and started building Android apps. In the last two years, in addition to Android development, he has also been working as a backend engineer, contributing to a Spring Boot application written in Kotlin.

Stojan is passionate about building innovative applications by writing maintainable and correct code, which led him to explore functional programming. He enjoys sharing his insights and learnings on his blog and Twitter.

When he's not coding, Stojan can be found riding his bike, going for runs, or learning Salsa dancing.

Security by bureaucracy - Some thoughts about the Cyber Resilience Act
by Matthias Geisler (@BitPogo)

Can German bureaucracy deal with IT Security? Is the the Cyber Cyber song still funny? Is responsible disclosure now possible? What is a OpenSource Steward? Lets pick up these and more questions marks and see if we can make some sense out of it.
