Intro to FP in Scala: Exploring a Toolbox for Solving Problems - Part 1 of 6
summary
Promises a practical FP bootstrap in Scala: concrete claim is teaching how to solve real problems by wiring up immutable code into runnable apps, using SBT and the provided GitHub repo for exercises, showing differences between scalaz and cats, and relying on kind-projector macros for type lambda plumbing. Covers syntax essentials, currying, pattern matching, and error handling with Task and unsafeRunSync plus live coding exercises that may fail but are meant to be typed along.
