Guidance for the sudden switch from ZManaged (updated for 2.0-RC6) Like so many people, I have been eagerly awaiting the release of ZIO 2.0. As an interested newcomer to ZIO, I’ve been waiting for the right moment to really “dip my toes” into giving ZIO a series effort. My current…

After a long evolutionary journey, the 2.0 release is a great time to jump in. I have been learning and using Scala for about eight years now, ever since I first became involved with a Spark-based project. My own journey has been fun and enjoyable, and I was incredibly lucky…

The Final chapter on the Scala Implicits Journey Now that we have explored the “three implicits” in Scala, it’s time to put everything together in a way show the deep and profound way that Scala can simplify complex problems. …

Third of the Implicit Sisters, but not the end of the story. This is the third part of a four-part series. If you want to read about all the three forms of “implicit”, you might want to start here. …

Series part 2, from “Scala and the Tree Implicits” In the first article of this three-part series, we learned that Scala 2.x used this keyword “implicit” that was used in three distinct (and slightly confusing) ways. …

In my “beginner ZIO” journey, I just hit one of those “light bulb moments” where something that has stymied me countless times suddenly makes sense, and hopefully this little article can help anyone with a similar scenario. Supposed I want to do something in a nice ZIO-ish failsafe way like…

Thanks for writing this. I'm bookmarking it so I can refer back. I like the focus on cleanliness and the useful helper toDS function. (And it's good to see another Scala person here in Austin!)

This is the third in a series of articles intended for Scala Beginners to understand how to write clean code using Option and Try and Either. Part one introduced these typeclasses and demonstrated how to avoid the awkward “test and unsafe-get” approach by using pattern matching of “map”. …

This is a continuation of my earlier post Scala for Beginners: How to really use Option. This topic is based on a recent presentation I gave to my local Austin Scala Enthusiasts Meetup. The video and slides for that can by found on my website. When I was writing the…
