Kotlin Flow

The first part of this course is only to show the different operators of Flows. It shows the potential with simples examples with delay function. It is ok to start learning Flows. The second part is applicated to a real proyect, but he only works to convert from livedata suspend functions to flows functions always with the same way. Operators that you learn in the first part are not applied, just only use a simple Flows. I hope this course will update applying some operators.

Section 2 project needs updating; contains a lot of errors

I don’t really like the course for a few reasons: 1. Content. In the first section you will get very short overview of flow, description of its operators and basic examples of usage with delay fun. Mostly, the same examples (even with the same delays!) are available at official docs. No exercises to get into stuff are available but recommendations for self practice and checking the docs. In the second section you will observe how lector is migrating some parts of code in a ready project to flow usage. The thing is he hasn’t used any of described operators except of required to somehow run flow. Here we have 2 assessments the first of which is not belong to the course topic. Also, I’m not sure flows should be used in a real app that way as in examples. 2. Quality I have a feeling that all content was created on the fly w/o any preparations. Here is only a screen recordings with comments and project at start point itself. No visualisations (some slides, diagrams etc.) for better understanding, no description why should we use this technology or what are the problems it can resolve. As for the second part lector often makes mistakes in the code and mostly resolves issues that doesn’t belong to the course topic. It’s just annoying. 3. Code Code style in examples is weird and leads to less topic comprehension.
