Code with the Italians invited Halil and me on the show to talk about Compose Text. This was my first time here and we had so much fun! Seb and Ivan are excellent hosts.
This is a follow-up to my last snapshots talk, Opening the Shutter on Snapshots, and a companion to my article How derivedStateOf works: a deep d(er)ive. I've also written a bunch of articles on Compose state, check them out here. Slides: Deriving derived state: derivedStateOf explained
Compose's snapshot system is really neat, as I've talked and written about before. Once you know how it works, you can do some cool tricks with it, and derivedStateOf is a rich example of this. I recently gave a talk focused more on explaining the algorithms
Often when thinking about Jetpack Compose state, we think in terms of what code will be re-executed when that state changes. We call functions that get re-executed like this “restartable functions”. Composable functions are generally restartable, but some other functions are restartable too, and you can make your own. 📖This
About a week ago, I migrated my blog to a New blog site! As I explained in that post, I was previously posting on dev.to, and while it mostly worked fine to post the content, I did not like having my content live on a domain name and I
