Kotlin • Singleton objects • String interpolation • Elvis operator
! • Destructuring • Extension functions • Scoping functions @askashdavies
Maintaining History @askashdavies
Maintaining History • Change extension .java -> .kt • First
commit • Apply Kotlin conversion • Second commit @askashdavies
Maintaining History Refactoring @askashdavies
Refactoring @askashdavies
Refactoring SOLID • Single-responsibility • Open-closed • Liskov substitution •
Interface segregation • Dependency inversion @askashdavies
Refactoring Single Responsibility @askashdavies
Perspective @askashdavies
Asynchronicity @askashdavies
Concurrency is Hard @askashdavies
Thread new Thread(() -> { foo(); }).start(); @askashdavies
CompletableFuture CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(this::findSomeData) .thenApply(this:: intReturningMethod) .thenAccept(this::notify); @askashdavies
RxJava Observable .fromIterable(resourceDraft.getResources()) .flatMap(resourceServiceApiClient::createUploadContainer) .zipWith(Observable.fromIterable(resourceDraft.getResources()), Pair::create) .flatMap(uploadResources()) .toList() .toObservable() .flatMapMaybe(resourceCache.getResourceCachedItem())

What If? @askashdavies
Coroutines @askashdavies
fun main() { GlobalScope.launch { delay(1000L) println("World!") } println("Hello,") Thread.sleep(2000L)
} // Hello, // World! @askashdavies
fun main() { GlobalScope.launch { delay(1000L) println("World!") } println("Hello,") Thread.sleep(2000L)
} // Hello, // World! @askashdavies
