Alternating vertical black and white lines, thick at the edges then getting progressively thinner towards the center.

Centering in Compose

Let’s talk about centering things. There is no Modifier.center() in Compose, nor is there a Center composable, and I think the reason for that is because once you understand Compose's layout system you'll find those concepts redundant. In this article I'm going

Talk: Deriving derived state: derivedStateOf explained

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

"derivedStateOf" with arrows pointing down to "Dedup Invalidations" on the left and "Cache Result" on the right.

How derivedStateOf works: a deep d(er)ive

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

Restartable functions from first principles

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
