We are talking about Ktor! Did you know that Ktor has been around 2018 and it is the go to application development framework to go for when developing applications in Kotlin? Well, there is always room for discussion and debate for this, especially if you come from a background of working with other solutions like Quarkus, the Spring Framework, Jakarta or KumuluzEE. Or even others. The idea of this video is to provide a very leisure, easy-listening, easy-viewing video for anyone who doesn't know or has trouble understanding Ktor. This video is a rough and immediate look at important aspects of working in Ktor, and a reflection on how things change in comparison with frameworks that rely heavily on annotation based development, IoC (Inversion of Control), and (Dependency Injection), or in the case of Spring CDI (Context Dependency Injection). So, whether you know Ktor or you haven't heard of it, just for that the fact that you are interested, than this video is for you! Enjoy the video! And, as always, remember to stay tech, keep programming, BE KIND, and have a good one everyone! Cheers!
