Gabriel Volpe - Cats Effect: The IO Monad for Scala
Channel: ScalaIO FR
Date: 2019-01-14

Since the first introduction of Cats Effect (https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/)  many things have changed taking its design and performance to a whole new level.

Come join me and learn how to deal with side effects in a pure functional way while abstracting over the effect type and taking composition to the next level. We will review the most important features such as synchronous and asynchronous computations, error handling, safe resource management, concurrency, parallelism and cancellation starting by reviewing the basic concepts.
