Understand type classes in less than 15 min
This is a “from zero to hero” light talk. Preferable audience are people who want to:
- understand any shapeless/scalaz/cats presentation out there (this presentation will give you ability to survive first 10 minutes of mentioned talks)
- be enlightened that “monads are just type classes with some laws” (this is not a monad tutorial though)
- get the “aha!” moment, realising that they’ve been using Type classes from time to time, without knowing it
