Appears to be an amazing place to start when picking up Android
I haven't fully read through or worked through the book but on first skim this appears to be an amazing resource on learning Android dev! I picked this up to learn more about using coroutines and wasn't sure what to expect; is this an advanced level book on coroutines as they pertain to Android OR is this an all around resource for learning Android. This is more of the later - a great resource to learn Android development. I'm going to dig in and read further but initially I'm impressed with the layout, organization, and high quality of the book.

Way more information about Coroutines that a sane person would want.
In all seriousness, this is very detailed and explains many common mistakes that can be made with multiple threads and even with coroutines. After reading I find myself going back over my own code to make sure I didn't make the easy-to-miss mistakes that I've since learned about. It's also a well-written book for a technical manual, and the authors do not make assumptions while explaining topics.

Great book on Android concurrency
Topics on Android concurrency extremely well explained - the chapters on coroutines, flows and channels are indispensable knowledge in modern Android development. Loved the walk down memory lane - threads, synchronization, invariants and the contrast to Kotlin's coroutines, addressing the limitations of the threading model. I am giving this book 5 stars, although chapters 1-3 are just content fillers; after all, who would be reading a book on advanced Kotlin topics while needing an overview of Kotlin's language essentials. To the authors: well done, thank you!
