VKUG - There Is 1 Broken API Among Us
Hello, fellow Kotliners!
Time for the next virtual get-together. This time Nicola Corti tells us about why "There Is 1 Broken API Among Us". The talk is about 30 minutes, and we will have time for questions afterwards.
Here is the abstract:
As a library user, you probably know that versions don't always tell the truth. Have you ever experienced a broken build after you did a minor bump of a library?
As a library author, maintaining a clean API is a challenge. There is always the that a breaking change sneaks in by accident.
Wouldn't it be nice to get notified if you're accidentally breaking your users' code? A tool to inspect the binary API of your Kotlin/Java code can help you exactly with that. In this talk, we will see some of those tools and how that simplifies the life of library & SDK developers.
