In this episode Donn and Kaushik sit down with Instacart Engineer Colin White to discuss a new image library he has created called Coil.
Coil is a Kotlin-first image library that focuses on ease of use, simplicity and extensibility. In this episode we ask him the question you’re probably wondering … “Why create an image library, isn’t this a solved problem already?” and then move onto the details of how the library works, and what it offers developers.
From Donn’s perspective – It’s an interesting library and gives you what you need with minimal footprint but offers you the extensibility that you’d want in the future. Its a good balance of “just enough” and “I might need this”.
Enjoy
This week Donn and Kaushik talk to Leland Richardson from the Android team at Google about Jetpack Compose.
Jetpack Compose is declarative component-based UI runtime for Android. With compose you can build your UI with functions in Kotlin to easily “compose” what your UI would look like.
We dive deep in this episode. We talk about the background and influence React had on the project, we dive deep into some of the decisions made regarding the library and much much more…

JUnit 5 is backwards compatible with JUnit 4 and offers a slew of new features and extensibility points which make the framework much more appealing going forward. We’re convinced you’ll enjoy this episode and leave wanting to get your app under test – even more than it already is.
