What will you learn?

Coroutines are an advanced topic in modern software development. Kotlin is the first language to popularize this technique, with its most popular application being concurrency. This course will take us through the ins and outs of coroutines in Kotlin in the context of Ktor. 
We’ll cover how they work in the language, and in the Ktor framework. We’ll learn how to reason, and think about coroutines in the context of web servers and applications using Ktor. Covering all advanced concepts in KotlinX Coroutines, and all gotchas and tricks to maximize the effectiveness of your concurrent Kotlin code.

This course will give you all the tools and insights necessary to reason about coroutines efficiently so you can leverage them to build advanced and complex use-cases in simple descriptive ways. 

Additionally, we’ll cover how to leverage and utilize Kotlin Coroutines in your current projects without having to rewrite or rework your existing code.

Key takeaways

  1. Maximize the effectiveness of Kotlin Coroutines. 
  2. Give you a deep understanding of how Coroutines work in Ktor.
  3. Give you a deep understanding of Kotlin(X) coroutines. 
  4. Explore when to use which techniques. 
  5. Learn how to leverage Kotlin Coroutines better in your current Ktor applications.
