Part 1: Coding for the unhappy paths - presented by Lindsey Dew
Often when we write code we focus on what happens when everything works as expected, but what happens when things fail? In Scala we can make use of the type system to develop code which behaves in an expected way even if the services it depends on fail.
Lindsey is a software developer at The Guardian and writes code in Scala on a daily basis.

Endre gave us an introduction to functional programming and made it more accessible by comparing it to JavaScript.
