Ever wondered how applications are able to communicate and coordinate with each other securely, while also extremely isolated from one another?

Inter-Process communication is one of the most critical parts of modern operating systems, yet nearly invisible to the user.

Join me as we pull back the curtain on this crucial yet often overlooked technology.

We'll examine both the history and fundamentals of IPC systems, as well as focusing on one that runs on billions of devices worldwide, the Android Binder.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of real-world code examples to follow along!
