Threading Lightly with Kotlin

Explore the world of concurrent programming in Kotlin through this comprehensive conference talk. Delve into the differences between traditional thread-based concurrency and Kotlin's coroutines, understanding their relevance in modern software development. Learn about the first-class support for coroutines in Kotlin, their origins, and why they've become important 50 years after their initial development. Participate in hands-on exercises to experience the practical differences between Kotlin and Java concurrency models, examining performance, memory usage, and complexity. Gain insights into potential pitfalls, synchronization methods, and the paradigm shift brought by Kotlin coroutines to the JVM. Suitable for developers with basic knowledge of Kotlin and some understanding of threading, concurrency, parallelism, and synchronization concepts.
