The new Lens & AR features for the #google #pixel are super cool to use on vacation, especially the real-time translations!

We've been somehow quiet lately but, good news: big plans are in the works! Whether you're #Kotlin curious, a hobbyist or an expert, we want to hear from you to know how we can create a better community experience in the #DC area! forms.gle/iYvYSDTpk8N5oBNi9 Please share! RTs welcome
My teammate @Mayank_Mehta is awesome, and a huge proponent of using #Kotlin Coroutines. We were discussing our use of Coroutines for the last year, even while in experimental, and he said "I would have gone on hunger strike for this" 😂 Agreed. Coroutines are 💯 #AndroidDev – at Virginia, USA

Question to #AndroidDev related to #Kotlin coroutines In which situations would you use Dispatchers.Default instead of Dispatchers_IO for a background task? After investigating both, I don't find any real usages 🤔, but there must be some. Thread about my thoughts:

Video's now up on YouTube! Though it was given before structured concurrency was introduced, the basic topics are still relevant :) youtu.be/t2pA4LhJZWY

You can now resolve conversations around code to collapse the thread... and finally get that closure you've been looking for 🙌

Last night I gave the first lecture of the undergrad mobile development course at GWU. It'll be my first semester fully leading a course as the instructor -- we're going full steam with 100% #Android + #Kotlin!

If you liked my intro to #Kotlin coroutines at #360andev and are familiar with RxJava, check out @manuelvicnt's series of comparisons between the two!

The #Android dev community could use this talk right now: youtu.be/EauykEv_2iA - DI? It depends. - Dagger? It depends. - TDD? It depends. - RxJava? It depends. - Kotlin? Yes, depends too. Tech decisions are always contextual, find the context instead of looking for absolutes.
