Learn about the data layer and its two basic components: repositories and data sources. We'll also cover data immutability, error handling, threading, testing and more tricks and recommendations with Jose Alcérreca.


Episode 2 — The UI layer

Learn about the UI layer and its state. Tunji Dahunsi covers UI state representation, production and consumption all within the context of a unidirectional data flow app!
