Kotlin Cookbook - Co-routines

[Will Myers]

Hi Ken,
I can see you book has a section on co-routines at the end, is this an in depth look? What sort of problems/issues are covered?

[Kenneth A. Kousen]

"In depth" is a strong word. The challenge with coroutines is that there are a lot of moving parts, so I tried to break them down into what they do and where to use them. I look at builders and dispatchers, and then how to use them.

Here are the individual recipes:

Coroutines and Structured Concurrency
* 13.1 Choosing Coroutine Builders
* 13.2 Replacing async/await with withContext
* 13.3 Working with Dispatchers
* 13.4 Running Coroutines on a Java Thread Pool
* 13.5 Cancelling Coroutines
* 13.6 Debugging Coroutines

This is part of an annotated table of contents I added to my blog in my blog.
