Kotlin Coroutines Training Overview
Coroutines, as implemented in Kotlin, are an elegant way of solving many complex programming problems including asynchronous programming, actors models, lazy evaluated iteration, and more.
In this Kotlin Coroutines training course attendees learn Coroutines fundamentals as well as many of the advanced features, including structured concurrency, cancellation, and more.
