Scala User Group Düsseldorf: Reducing Boilerplate

Einmal im Monat trifft sich die Scala Community Düsseldorf, um über aktuelle Trends zu diskutieren und Neuigkeiten rund um die Programmierung mit Scala auszutauschen. Dieses Mal steht Isaias Bartelborth auf der Agenda, der seinen Talk auf englisch hält.

Talk: Swinging cats with monocles – A motivational journey about reducing boilerplate

We will see, lenses, prisms, optics in general and the Scala optics library called monocle. After guiding everybody through the cool features monocle has to offer we will see it in action. The focus will be to see how monocle helps to reduce boilerplate code in a small application. It is a desktop application with a swing GUI that is wrapped with cats-effect and some more libraries.
Beginner to Intermediate, some basic knowledge of Scala is helpful but not required.
