In this episode, we talk about Dependency Injection đź—ˇ. We have Arnaud Giuliani on stage, Kotlin GDE and author of Koin, a popular dependency injection framework for Kotlin.
Koin works well for Android projects, but it can be used also in backend projects and the Multiplatform support is just behind the corner.
Arnaud will tell us the story of this framework: how it started, how it grew and how its feature will look like.
Enjoy the show 👨‍🍳
