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

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

The evolution of CI in the mobile development team

CI is a workflow where you integrate your code into the common product code as often as possible. And not just integrating, but also constantly checking that everything works. Since you need to check a lot and often, you should think about automation. You can check everything on hand-crafted, but not worth it, and here's why.

Reaktive - a multiplatform library for reactive Kotlin

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