The Developers' Bakery

Today, I’m more than excited to welcome on stage Sebastian Aigner, Developer Advocate at JetBrains.

Sebastian is with us to talk about Jetpack Compose Desktop, a new declarative UI framework for Desktop applications written in Kotlin.

Jetpack Compose Desktop is the porting of Jetpack Compose, the declarative UI framework for Android. JetBrains took the Compose to the next level offering a lot of new APIs and tools to make Desktop UI development a pleasure again. The project gained a lot of popularity recently on Github.

Sebastian is here to talk about his experience with the tool, how to write your first Compose Desktop application and how to contribute to the framework.

Hi everyone and welcome to the Developers Bakery 👋

A podcast about open-source projects, tools and libraries for software developers.

If you ever developed any kind of software, you probably know that a significant amount of code is not the one you wrote but the one others wrote. Frameworks, Libraries and SDKs are the building blocks to write great software for our end users. It’s just unthinkable to reinvent the wheel every time, right?

In this show we will meet authors and maintainers of libraries that are used worldwide to bake great software every day. We will hear stories from the open source community and learn what is happening behind the scenes of famous tools and projects.

My name is Nicola Corti and I’ll be your host for this show.

Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on either Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or directly from the website thebakery.dev. To be notified of the latest episodes, you can follow the show as @thebakerydev on twitter.

And if you have a tool or a library to share, feel free to drop me a message on the contact form on the website.

That being said, enjoy the show! 🎙
