Coroutines: Concurrency in Kotlin

Dave Leeds presents an overview of Kotlin coroutines, explaining concurrency, parallelism, and how structured concurrency manages cancellation and exceptions.

In this presentation, I give an overview of coroutines in Kotlin, including the basics of coroutines, how they can be used for concurrency and parallelism, and how structured concurrency helps ensure coroutines are cleaned up in response to cancellations and exceptions. The content for this presentation is largely based on chapter 20 of Kotlin: An Illustrated Guide, which you can read online here: typealias.com/start/kotlin-coroutines/.
