In this episode of Fragmented, we wrap up another 2 part series. We dive into the details of the Arrow library with this one. Arrow is a library in Kotlin that helps bring many of the functional paradigms of programming to your daily development. We talk to the team about how it all started, the history of the library, why we even need arrow, how Arrow is structured, some of the pitfalls, and in the end some resources on getting us started with Arrow.

In this episode of Fragmented, we kick off another 2 part series. This time it’s with the Kotlin Arrow team! In the first part, we talk to Jorge, Raul and Paco about Functional programming in general, some core FP concepts, do we already use functional programming today, what are pure functions, do I need to know complicated math to do FP, Immutability, Referential transparency and so much more. These are all pretty daunting words, but the Arrow team break it down and make it really simple for us to understand.
Listen on to the show.
In part 2 of this series,
To help us understand Flutter in-depth we talk to Flutter’s GDE Eugenio Marletti. In Part 1 of this 2 part series, Eugenio helps us understand what flutter is, why it was created, how it works, some really cool features with Flutter and why an AndroidDev today should really give Flutter a good look.
We got so carried away in conversation, that we were forced to break this episode into two parts. If you missed part 1 but want to go back and listen you’ll find it here: 118: Flutter and cross-platform development with GDE Eugenio Marletti – Part 1)
In this episode, we dive into one of our most requested topics and highly anticipated ones – Flutter.

In this episode, Donn and Kaushik sit down to talk about multi-module builds with Gradle. They talk about how you can separate your build into multiple different modules and how you might go about implementing it. They discuss build performance with incremental compilation, isolation of features, code ownership and how to handle cross-cutting concerns like persistence and networking.
In this episode of learning kotlin, we look at 3 important keywords – inline, noinline and crossinline. The inline keyword is super common and you’ve probably run across this one at some point. What does it mean and when is it useful? We also look at the related but seldom used variants noinline and crossinline.
In this episode, we talk about the different parts of Android architecture components. We’ve had episodes on Room and the paging library, so in this one, we thought we’ll touch a little on Lifecycle Owners & Observers, ViewModels, and LiveData. Akshay Chordiya helps break it down. Listen on!
In this episode, we talk to Patrick Nikoletich from Microsofts App Center team. We explore the intricacies of the Continuous Integration server system on the App Center platform. From what App Center is, all the way down into the weeds to how to get your app building on App Center in a few short steps. We also get into the nitty-gritty details around how you can customize your build with build hooks, install utilities and binaries, work with a command line interface, shell scripts, the App Center API much much more. This episode shows a new side of Microsoft that we have not seen in a long time and it’s a breath of fresh air.
In this episode we catch up with a highly energetic but sick Christina Lee about the delightful details in the Pinterest app, delving with the dark side (Swift), giving live coding presentation talks and touching on some Kotlin details like covariance and contravariance. Listen on for a power-packed 40 minutes.
In this mini-fragment episode, Donn talks about Item #9 of the Effective Java (Third Edition) book – Prefer try with resources to try finally.
Please note, this episode references the third edition of the Effective Java book that recently came out. Previously we were doing the entire series on version 2, but we are now upgrading to version 3 of the book. We will not be re-doing any of the existing lessons, but if one was inserted in the mix, then we will do that lesson.
