[@luiscarbonel1991]

[@yannick4252]

Did you use coroutines for cutting video? Because video and audio is asynchronous.

[@jeremygheraliu1029]

Thank you, it works perfect!

[@Poisonedyouth79]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@DerSarco]

I bought that book!, is still pending to read because i have others to read first. I'm so excited to start read that book :D.

Pretty good book, that teaches the bases of Kotlin as well as the most useful patterns. It's more suited to people with a background in Java.
I agree with the author that the pattern should be mentionned in the documentation and NOT necessarily in the name of the class. Because the pattern is just ONE particular implementation of a concept, it's NOT the concept itself. For example the car concept is understanble by everyone. So the class shouldn't be FourWheelsPassengerVehicleDecorator, it should be Car. Car is in fact the abstraction. The fact that it has been implemented as a decorator to the FourWheelsVehicle is just an implementation detail.
In general, I found that the author is very pragmatic and draws his knowledge out of extensive experience.

this interview had me tense omg

[@mbtarkan4541]

Very helpful

[@markhathaway9456]

Categorizing software by the design patterns it uses reminds me of a joke about a secretary who classified and filed all the correspondence under "M" for "Mister/Mr" or "Mrs". She could find them...all.

I am just new to programming so kotlin will be my first language, can you suggest any course for people with no programming experience and what does it require to build pure and secured android app apart from kotlin.

[@mhdunknown]

Alexey mentioned that Android already uses the Flyweight Pattern, does he mean RecyclerView in particular or something else more general to do with the Android Runtime?

[@Nirogyajeevan]

You could make a basic template to start with every ti you start a new .

[@mhdanwar]

[@Kotlin]

[@prasanpani]

@@Kotlin Cant wait 😍

164th...Thanks

[@Amejonah]

why do I have a déjà vu with design patterns

[@this-is-bioman]

There is not a single line of code shown is this video! How so?

[@pxnx]

It's a talk about top level things and his book :)

[@Kotlin]

Not every video needs a line of code 😉

[@pxnx]

@@Kotlin Videos need content, and this one has enough content for a good video :D
I also hoped that there will be really practical tips, like do's and don't's - recommended by the official team ;)

[@pxnx]

I sometimes feel insecure when it comes to the right way of doing things. Coding is like art or philosophy, with too many possibilities.

A little talk with David Hermann about Kobweb (built on top of Compose Web) might also be neat🐣
