Write it down: Using text in Jetpack Compose
Text is a core, complex part of the Android platform. Most apps will need to display text to their users to communicate information, or show them a text field to get information from them.
During this talk we’ll take a deep dive into the role of Text and TextField in your Compose Android application, how Compose fits into Android's text stack, we’ll cover topics from property usage and styling with Material, TextStyle and AnnotatedString, all the way to Downloadable fonts and new font padding APIs.
So write this down, you don’t want to miss it.

Invest in Real State: A workshop for State in Compose
All applications handle state: whether it is your list of bookmarked items or the products in your shopping cart, your application needs to be able to request information, process it, and display the UI according to the current state. It should also handle updates of this state, which can happen from different sources.
With Compose, handling state doesn’t have to be difficult!
In this workshop you’ll learn hands-on how the unidirectional data flow works, how to manage state and work with APIs like remember, rememberSaveable and mutableStateOf to build rich and interactive Compose applications.
