Async Server Side Programming in Kotlin - Clay Taylor

Coroutines is a popular asyc kotlin library that offers an alternative to more complex libraries like RxJava. We will be diving into the basics of coroutines using a Kotlin server side tool called Ktor. Ktor is a framework for building asynchronous servers and clients using the Kotlin programming language. We will walk through a simple implementation of creating an API using Ktor. We will learn the basics of coroutines to implement familiar concepts such as serving JSON content, simple routing, and handling HTTP methods.
