Functional Patterns for Scala Practitioners

Explore functional programming patterns in Scala through this comprehensive conference talk. Delve into Scala's dual nature as both a functional and object-oriented language, and learn how to leverage its functional capabilities to enhance your coding practices. Discover key concepts such as the substitution model, algebraic data types for data modeling, and typeclasses for creating extensible abstractions. Gain insights into composable error handling using Either and Validation, and understand how to separate logic from effects for improved testability. The talk also covers property-based testing techniques. Whether you're a Java developer transitioning to Scala or an experienced Scala practitioner looking to deepen your functional programming skills, this 59-minute presentation by Clément Delafargue, CTO of Clever Cloud, offers valuable insights to elevate your Scala expertise.
