Our Verdict

The Android Multithreading Masterclass is an excellent resource for developers seeking to enhance their understanding of multithreading in Android app development. The course strikes a balance between theory and practice while providing detailed insights into different concurrency frameworks. Although falling short on introducing RxJava or Coroutines from scratch, it remains a valuable learning source for those with prior knowledge of these libraries. Despite minor drawbacks such as limited coverage of Event Bus, inconsistencies in certain sections, and dense code-focused lectures, this masterclass by Vasiliy stands out due to its in-depth content and the instructor's expertise.

What We Liked

In-depth exploration of Android multithreading, from basics to advanced topics such as Synchronization, Locks, Volatility and Happens-Before
High-quality content with lucid explanations, backed by practical examples. Covers troubleshooting threading issues using Android Studio Profiler
Comprehensive examination of different concurrency frameworks like AsyncTask, RxJava, Coroutines & how they compare
Instructor's deep knowledge and long experience in hardware and android development makes the course more valuable

Potential Drawbacks

Lacks coverage and comparison with Event Bus, which some teams widely use. Course focuses on theory over practical implementation in certain sections
Not an introductory level course for RxJava or Kotlin Coroutines; assumes prior understanding of these frameworks
Code-heavy sections may be challenging for beginners. More visual aids could improve comprehension
Some errors and inconsistencies were present but instructor acknowledged & addressed them, which some students found distracting
