8 reasons why you should... or should not choose Ktor from a Spring Comp...


We are talking about Ktor! Did you know that Ktor has been around 2018 and it is the go to application development framework to go for when developing applications in Kotlin? Well, there is always room for discussion and debate for this, especially if you come from a background of working with other solutions like Quarkus, the Spring Framework, Jakarta or KumuluzEE. Or even others. The idea of this video is to provide a very leisure, easy-listening, easy-viewing video for anyone who doesn't know or has trouble understanding Ktor. This video is a rough and immediate look at important aspects of working in Ktor, and a reflection on how things change in comparison with frameworks that rely heavily on annotation based development, IoC (Inversion of Control), and (Dependency Injection), or in the case of Spring CDI (Context Dependency Injection). So, whether you know Ktor or you haven't heard of it, just for that the fact that you are interested, than this video is for you! Enjoy the video! And, as always, remember to stay tech, keep programming, BE KIND, and have a good one everyone!

How does concurrency play a role in coroutines?

Image
I'm also contributing now to DEV.TO. When I first started to use DEV.TO I had no idea how blogs worked and so I explored a lot! But I think DEV.TO is a great place actually to share code and ideas in a very easy way and so I am including that now in my repertoire of different contributions. On this example I am giving a real example from my GitHub repo about how coroutines work. In it I explain how they are concurrent and why they are said to use non-preemptive multitasking or otherwise known as cooperative multitasking. This is the to the article on DEV.TO: How does concurrency play a role in coroutines? And this is the video I made about coroutines, not specifically related to Kotlin in Vienna, Austria last year in 2023: Have a good on  everyone!

Tailrec Through The Ages Until Kotlin

Image
Hi there! In this following video I am telling the story of one of the most debated keyword debated in Kotlin these days... At least it should and to be honest, I'm not sure if everyone understands what it really is. Therefore I wanted to investigate more about this enigmatic keyword and how it came to appear in Kotlin. Long story very very short, tailrec means tail recursive and it means that the compiler will potentially be able to transform this function into a known better algorithm allowing use to make functions in Kotlin that remain "pure". "Pure" is a bizarre word created in the Kotlin community to define Kotlin a language that doesn't have any side effects at all and doesn't use any mutability. But tailrec in Kotlin does transform seemingly immutable and side-effects free code into something else in the bytecode. I try in the video to have a philosophical discussion about the topic and not to get into any conclusion. And the question remains if i...
