Mini-meetup: ZIO

Hi Scalaties,

after a long winter break we will explore together with Daniel some features of the new and shiny ZIO.

ZIO is a new library to write asynchronous and concurrent programs. Albeit it is sharing many concepts with Scala vanilla Futures and Cats IO it has its own set of unique features. The focus of ZIO are powerful concurrency constructs guarded by a predictable model and types, to write and compose larger programs.

In this hands-on session we will:

• integrate ZIO into an existing application
• practice basic usage
• handle different error types
• look into the design of ZIO
• learn how to organize dependencies

This should give you an overview on how to get started and what to expect if you want to dive deeper into ZIO.

In honour of the old Play-User-Group meetup we will use ZIO together with Play!

Schedule:
• around 7 pm start of the talk
• after 8 pm open discussions + food & beverages
