Functional Error Handling and Validation with Cats

There is a place where all the fancy abstractions of functional programming really shine: error handling and data validation. During this talk, we will take a whirlwind tour of what the Scala language, supplemented by the cats library, have to offer in that respect:

  • Option and Either to expressively represent computation that may fail.
  • Validated for checking pre-conditions on our programs’ inputs while nicely accumulating all encountered errors.
  • Then we will see how the “three musketeers of functional programming,” Applicative, Monad and Traverse (along with Functor as d’Artagnan) can help us handle our errors and validate our data in a simple, expressive, and composable way!

If you have questions after watching this talk, you can head over to the Academy Slack Scala Channel to discuss!

Is financial aid available for underrepresented or low-income groups?

Our industry is not diverse enough across many measures of representation. Nor is it easily accessible to many minorities or those in low-income scenarios. If you feel that you belong to an underrepresented minority or need help financially, please fill this form. We can apply a course voucher to your registered Academy account. The voucher can be redeemed against any paid course on a one-time basis. The voucher is non-transferable, non-refundable, and has no financial value.

What is the refund policy?

If you request a refund for a paid training course before taking it, we will refund your course fee during our next processing cycle. If you request a refund for a paid training course after starting or accessing it, please email us at [email protected]. Please refer to the full Terms and Conditions before requesting a refund. 47 Degrees reserves the right to refuse refunds.

Are these courses qualified for the FUNDAE (Fundación Tripartita)?

Part of the course cost is reimbursable for companies located in Spain, through Fundae ( formerly, Fundación Tripartita ). If this is your case, please contact us through [email protected] before enrolling in a course.
