Already know some Scala, but want to take the next step and make practical use of modern monadic design patterns? This is the book for you.
This book addresses advanced programming techniques in Scala from the point of view of design patterns for web development. These patterns are discussed across the whole of the processing pipeline, from HTTP requests to storage and back again. Major emphasis is placed on key abstractions from functional programming that are often considered out of the purview of the professional programmer, but that are of key practical importance. Specifically, the book will look at Monadic design patternsZippers and data type differentiationDelimited continuations
These will be applied to commonplace problems facing the server side of a web application, includingIO streams of HTTP requestsMapping URLs to locations in in-memory and persisted data structuresMapping in-memory data structures to storageManaging state in an application that supports presence-based editing "What you'll learn "Understand monadic design patterns, the new object technology.Apply DSL-based design in a functional setting.Hack at the type level.Program at the boundary between structure and control.Dive into the jQuery UI tools and create image gallery management tools that will allow users to drag and drop photos to reorder the gallery.
