Ben Hutchison - Hands-on with Eff effects framework

First up, an apology & explanation for the lack of any communications or meetups since our April night at Zendesk. Ive been running super-busy all through May, between giving a workshop up at Lambdajam, heading to Copenhagen for Scaladays and Typelevel Summit (I fly back today), my day job and family life.

Anyway, its surely time for another meetup. I will present the workshop I took to Lambdajam, Getting Work Done with Extensible Effects:

https://github.com/benhutchison/GettingWorkDoneWithExtensibleEffects

The workshop teaches how you can use the Eff framework [ https://github.com/atnos-org/eff ] to solve practical, applied problems with pure functional programming. In last few years, the landscape has shifted in that there's now a wealth of techniques available that permit pure FP to be employed in the constrained, side-effect-heavy contexts we encounter in industry.

I'll present the workshop as seemingly worked well in Sydney: those who want to try the exercises on their own laptops can do so. But I'll also go through solving each exercise on the big screen. So if you're not up to tackling exercises at the end of a long day, you have a less strenuous learning pathway available.

As always, newcomers welcome. Hope to see you there.
