Exploring a library with the magnitude of Compose is nearly impossible in a single chapter. That's why you should also explore other topics that are of great importance when building your UI with Compose:

• We've briefly mentioned how Compose works with the help of a Kotlin compiler plugin. To better how this compiler plugin helps us define composable functions, check out this great article written by the official Android developer team: https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/under-the-hood-of-jetpack-compose-part-2-of-2-37b2c20c6cdd.

This article also covers the internals of Compose, so if you are curious about the execution model of Compose or what the compiler plugin does behind the scenes, make sure to check it out.

• Building UIs with Compose is simple, yet Compose is a very powerful framework that enables you to write highly reusable UIs. To take advantage of that, every Composable should receive a Modifier object that defines how it is arranged inside its caller parent. See what this means by checking out this great article, and then try to practice a bit: https://chris.banes.dev/always-provide-a-modifier/.
• Your layout should be adaptive and flexible for devices with different screen sizes or forms. You can learn more about this and try experimenting a bit by looking at the official documentation: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/compose/layouts/adaptive.
