Sean McQuillan: Kotlin Coroutines

I hope you all enjoy your holidays. I have a busy travel schedule, so our next meeting will be in January.

When we return to our regularly scheduled program, we'll have Android Developer Advocate Sean McQuillan visiting Minneapolis all the way from the Googleplex. Sean is in town to chew bubblegum and speak at DevFestMN, but he's all out of bubblegum.

Sean has prepared a talk for us about Kotlin Coroutines. I'll leave it to him to explain:

"Kotlin coroutines are a new way to manage async operations on Android. Stable with Kotlin 1.3, now is a great time to explore using coroutines in your app. In this talk, you'll learn about the history of coroutines, how they work in Kotlin, and effective patterns for using coroutines on Android. The talk will also cover how to avoid common pitfalls and mistakes with using coroutines. After this talk you will have a good understanding of Kotlin coroutines and how to effectively use them on Android!"

Buzzfeed has generously offered to let us stuff our mouths with pizza and beer. I may be paraphrasing. Just watch the parking signage or the tow trucks may go all Grand Theft Auto on your Honda.

If you're around town, suspend what you're doing, come on out, eat, and enjoy!
