Dive into the heart of multiplatform app development in this talk, grounded in my experience building for both Android and the web. I'll reveal how Kotlin, with its powerful Coroutines and Flow, can efficiently handle asynchronous tasks and data streams, enabling seamless code-sharing across platforms.

The session will then focus on building backend processes in a multiplatform environment. We'll examine effective strategies for constructing simple architectures that promote efficient cross-platform development.

Finally, I'll share unique programming patterns I've discovered during my journey. These patterns significantly simplify simultaneous targeting of Android and web platforms. Whether a seasoned developer or a beginner in multiplatform development, this talk will share insights on enhancing your toolkit and development approach.
