Functional World #3 - Functional Programming 101 with Scala and ZIO

Functional Programming 101 with Scala and ZIO

WHAT?
Come see how Scala and ZIO can help you to be a very productive developer who creates modern, highly performant, and concurrent applications, leveraging the power of Functional Programming. As an example, we’ll have a live coding session to implement a Tic-Tac-Toe game!

HOW TO PREPARE?
If you want to code along with me:

• Check out the starter code from https://github.com/jorge-vasquez-2301/zio-tictactoe
• Have it ready in your preferred text editor or IDE

WHAT ARE THE MAIN TAKEAWAYS?

• What is Functional Programming and why it’s different from Object-Oriented Programming
• What are the benefits of Functional Programming
• Introduction to ZIO, the library
• Introduction to ZIO, the data type
• ZIO constructors and operators
• Realize that Functional Programming is useful not just in academic fields!
• Realize that Functional Programming doesn’t have to be hard!
