RockTheJvm - Advanced Scala 3 and Functional Programming

Become one of the best Scala programmers. Master multithreading, advanced functional programming and Scala's phenomenal type system.​

After this course, you'll be able to:

• read any Scala code in any codebase, in any project, no matter how big, difficult or obscure
• contribute to any Scala project of any scale
• confidently write your own Scala libraries
• easily browse through the implementations of existing libraries without confusion
• work with concurrent JVM applications written in Scala
• apply advanced functional concepts, including partial functions, lazy evaluation and monads
• work with infinite collections
• understand Scala's implicits mechanism, including your power and responsibility
• master Scala's unparalleled type system
• use the Scala compiler to your advantage

Skills you'll get:

• Advanced Scala as a language
  • use alternative syntax and syntax sugars with ease
  • create your own pattern matching patterns
• Advanced functional programming skills
  • partial functions & partially applied functions
  • infinite, property-based collections
  • lazy evaluation
  • infinite lazy collections
  • monads
• Parallel & concurrent functional programming
  • understanding the JVM threading model
  • Futures
  • Promises
  • solving concurrency issues
  • parallel collections
• Mastering contextual abstractions
  • given values and using clauses
  • extension methods
  • type classes
  • higher-order functions with context-based values
  • implicit conversions
  • implicits, i.e. the Scala 2 contextual abstractions to be fully bulletproof
• Mastering the Scala type system
  • deeply understanding why Scala multi-inheritance is solid
  • correctly applying variance (which 99% of Scala programmers can't... because they don't understand it)
  • applying self types and the layered "cake" pattern
  • using higher-kinded types for generic libraries
  • imposing type restrictions with recursive types and the academically-fancy-but-common-sense F-bounded polymorphism

all with live runnable examples and practiced with exercises.

Plus some extra perks:

• You'll have access to the entire code I write on camera (all 3500+ LOC, more than most people ship in months)
• You'll be invited to our private Slack room where I'll share latest updates, discounts, talks, conferences, and recruitment opportunities
• You'll have access to all the takeaway slides
• (soon) You'll be able to download the videos for your offline view
