Welcome to the using-scalaz wiki!

Some notes I've made on using Scalaz. Look somewhere else for a deeper discussion on the math. I'm going to assume you are already working with maps and flatMaps.

• Avoiding the kitchen sink
• Flip and tap
• Aggregating Maps
• Lifting functions
• All errors vs first error
• Unsucking your Options

There's lots of other goodies in Scalaz. Hopefully getting your toes wet above will help you when diving in deeper.

These notes grew out of a Slides presentation about using Using Scalaz at SpotRight.

Somewhere Else

Ok. I might as well throw my, "What is a monad?", talk here. Nothing deep since that is much better covered out there on the net.

• Composition
• Typeclasses
• Monoid
• Functor
• Applicative
• Monad
  • Id
  • Option
  • List
  • Disjunction
  • Try and Future
  • Reader
  • Writer
  • State
• MonadTransformers

Other Things

Pointers to things I might want to incorporate once I figure them out myself.
