The digest of interesting materials for the mobile # 294 developer (on April 8 - 14)

This week we're talking about Continuous Integration, the transition from web development to games, dark themes, unit tests, a new top-earning and multi-billion dollar key manufacturing industry.

CI evolution in the mobile development team

CI is a workflow in which you integrate your code into the general product code as often as possible. And not just integrate, but also constantly check that everything works. Since you need to check a lot and often, you should think about automation. You can check everything on manual traction, but not worth it, and that's why.

Reaktive - multi-platform library for reactive Kotlin

Many today love reactive programming. It has a lot of advantages: the lack of the so-called “callback hell”, and the built-in error handling mechanism, and a functional programming style that reduces the likelihood of bugs. Significantly easier to write multi-threaded code and easier to manage data streams (combine, split and convert).
