Master Asynchronous Programming, Flow, Channels, and CoroutineScope with Real-World Android and Ktor Examples
Learn how to write modern, efficient Kotlin code using coroutines, flows, and structured concurrency.
Kotlin Coroutines are a powerful tool for writing asynchronous code that is both concise and maintainable. Whether you're working on Android, backend with Ktor, or multiplatform Kotlin projects, this book provides practical guidance for using coroutines effectively in real-world applications.
Each chapter focuses on a core aspect of coroutines, including suspending functions, coroutine builders, dispatchers, flows, channels, and exception handling. You’ll learn how to work with lifecycle-aware scopes like viewModelScope and lifecycleScope, test coroutine logic reliably, and apply advanced tools such as StateFlow, SharedFlow, and Turbine for reactive programming.
Designed for developers with some Kotlin experience, this guide delivers clear explanations, up-to-date examples, and hands-on patterns you can immediately apply in Android and server-side development.
What you’ll learn:
How suspending functions and coroutine scopes work in Kotlin
Practical usage of Flow, StateFlow, and SharedFlow
Integration with Retrofit, Room, and Jetpack Compose
Tools and practices for cancellation, exception safety, and testing
When and how to use structured concurrency, channels, and custom dispatchers
