Further details are below;
Please find the agenda below;
18:30 - Doors Open
7 pm - Talks begin
Talk 1 - Greg Dorrell
Effect Types: What? Why? Which one?
In the last couple of years, a number of new “effect types” have been created. What is an effect type? When and why should you use them? Also, there’s a few of them, so which one should you use?
This talk will compare them to Futures and give motivation for using them. We’ll take a look at the different options; namely Cats Effect’s IO, Scalaz ZIO’s IO, and Monix’s Task.
Talk 2 - Leszek Sliwko
The presentation is about release/build process we setup in my team. The novelty here was to integrate the images building as a result of a story (i.e. not the code changes). Then the images are moved through environments – such a process guarantees the release on prod is exactly the same system as that which has been seen and approved by business.

Talk 3 - TBC
8 pm - Food and Drink
9 pm - Pub!
We look forward to seeing you!
Cheers,
Alice
