Announcing New Kotlin Flow: Getting Started Course!

Announcing Our New Kotlin Flow: Getting Started Course!

Part of being a good Android developer is learning how to handle user events asynchronously.

In our new Kotlin Flow: Getting Started course, learn about Kotlin Flow — a new asynchronous stream library from JetBrains, the company behind the Kotlin language — and how it can provide structured concurrency in your asynchronous code!

Keep reading to hear more about it from course instructor Joe Howard:

Why should I take your Kotlin Flow: Getting Started course?

"Kotlin Flow is based on coroutines, which are becoming the preferred way to do concurrency in Kotlin apps, and share many similarities with Rx streams.

In my course, you'll get hands-on experience learning the concepts and usage patterns for the Flow API within IntelliJ IDEA projects. Then, you'll see Flow in action in an Android app."

How can Kotlin Flow help with a common pain point in Android development?

"Handling user events asynchronously is a common pain point in mobile apps.

You can think of Kotlin Flow as hitting the sweet spot between using the straightforward but limited LiveData and the powerful but complex Rx approach."

Can you please share a cool Kotlin Flow tip with us?

"Channels are a great way to inject events into a Kotlin Flow. You'll see how to do this within an Android app:"

This course is for experienced Android developers familiar with Kotlin Coroutines and who are interested in learning about the new Kotlin Flow approach to reactive stream programming.
