Course Info
This course includes 1 attempt.
This is a practical course, that shows everything with examples and focuses on real-life use cases. As this technology is already widely used on Android and backend applications, we will see how we can use it there and what the best practices are.

- Summary
- Launching coroutines vs. suspending functions
- Best practices
- Don’t use async with an immediate await
- Use awaitAll
- Suspending functions should be safe to call from any thread
- Use
Dispatchers.Main.immediateinstead ofDispatchers.Main - Remember to use
yieldin heavy functions - Understand that suspending functions await completion of their children
- Understand that
Jobis not inherited: it is used as a parent - Don’t break structured concurrency
- Use SupervisorJob when creating CoroutineScope
- Consider cancelling scope children
- Before using a scope, consider under which conditions it is cancelled
- Don’t use GlobalScope
- Avoid using
Jobbuilder, except for constructing a scope - Functions that return
Flowshould not be suspending - Prefer a suspending function instead of Flow when you expect only one value
- Exercise solutions
