Welcome to Stream of Bytes, just another blog about coding for coders by the coder. But, this blog is not just about coding; it's about what it's like being coder and daily challenges that are faced by beginner programmers.

I remember the time when I started coding. It was a bitterly cold night, and I was walking alone towards the realms of Bits and Bytes; quite dramatic, right? Uh!, I know, anyway at first you feel like no one around you can help you out or guide you in this journey other than Stack Overflow or some self-proclaimed arrogant (ouch!) geeks in your town. I didn't have Internet during that time, “the truth has been spoken”. So, I had to learn all this stuff by myself; a little from here and a little from there.

My experience was quite tedious and long one. Lots of questions were there some of them got answered few others I never asked them again but eventually I figured them all by myself. Through  this blog I want to help you out so that for you the process of becoming a “Programmer” gets easier.

That's all. Thanks for reading, follow so that  you never miss an update (yeah I know, I stole this one from YouTube). Happy Coding.

Kotlin Coroutines : A Comprehensive Introduction

Photo by Fleur Treurniet on Unsplash “Redesigning your application to run multithreaded on a multicore machine is a little like learning to swim by jumping into the deep end.” —Herb Sutter, chair of the ISO C++ standards committee, Microsoft® In this article What are coroutines? Blocking vs. Non-Blocking Kotlin Coroutines Suspending functions CoroutineScope Coroutine builders Coroutine dispatcher Coroutine start Conclusion What are coroutines? Coroutines have been around for quite a time now. They are in-fact one of the ideas which helped develop multitasking operating systems. A coroutine in trivial most is a subroutine or function generalisation which in non-preemptive environment (operating system or OS in short) can voluntarily yield the CPU time so that other such sub-routines can use it for themselves without losing the results of previous computations and then can conti

Programmer? A Computer Programmer?

“Programming is like sex. One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.” —Michael Sinz Well, to start with, “A programmer is someone who writes computer code, which tells computer what to do? and how to do it?” . Computing machines are dumb, trust me they are. They have enormous processing power but they don’t have hardware to direct this power to any productive use. And thats exactly where programmer kicks in. Programmers however are not the wizard depicted in the movies. They are humans like me and you. Its just that they think much more rationally than average human does. Types of programmers: The System Programmers: First of all a great tribute to these guys. They are the one who deal with software at the lowest level. They have veteran low level languages (languages which closely resemble with the hardware) —Assembly Language, Machine language in their arsenal. A typical system programmer works closely with hardware engineers bec

Kotlin : An introduction

Photo by wu yi “A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.” ―Alan J. Perlis World was nice and there was only assembly(“real programmers code in assembly”) but then one day out of blue he (hey! don't look at me like that I too don't know his name) came and said let there be compilers and interpreters(line by line) that will translate languages easy to read(uh! nah not really) and write into assembly to make programming fun again and that gave birth to an era of exotic new programming languages called procedural programming languages. Procedural programming languages were doing fine but after some time lot's of programmer started loosing their objects because of stateless functions which globally caused chaos. Seeing all this made him angry. So he said, “Procedural languages, I command you to treat everything as an ‘Object’ which will have it's own properties(attributes) and behavior(methods)”. They respond
