Scala Using the Typelevel Stack

Course Summary

The Advanced Scala training course is designed to deepen the skill set of current Scala developers.

The course begins laying a foundation of the necessary Scala knowledge needed to move into type classes. It then moves into property testing and the essential type classes. From there, students will spend time diving into Monix, Circe, Monocle, and Http4s. The course wraps up with an exploration of Recursion Schemes.
