The inside story of Jetpack Compose

from Android Developers Backstage

Discover the origin story of Jetpack Compose and how it changed the way Android developers build applications. We discuss the original challenges of unbundling the UI toolkit from the operating system to deliver faster updates. By adopting Kotlin and a declarative approach, the team reduced the boilerplate necessary to build user interfaces. While earlier systems relied heavily on XML, Jetpack Compose shifts to a code-first model for easier iteration. Listen to the team share their insights on modifiers, performance improvements, and the future of Android design.   Resources: Android is Compose-first → https://goo.gle/compost-first Jetpack Compose overview → https://goo.gle/compose-overview   Subscribe to our YouTube channel → https://goo.gle/AndroidDevs Speakers: Clara Bayarri, Tor Norbye, Chet Haase, Romain Guy
