Scala with Cats: Two Chapters In!
Hi!
Work on Scala with Cats has progressed well in the last few weeks.
Our first task was to convert the code from tut to mdoc. This was fairly tedious but not hard. Tut and mdoc have a slightly different model for code execution, so a lot of the code had to be tweaked to work with mdoc. Mdoc runs a lot faster than tut so this was an important change for improving the process of writing the book, but it doesn't make any visible difference to you, the reader.
Next up we're going through the existing content adding updates where needed. So far we're two chapters in and surprisingly little has changed. We knew the beginning chapters wouldn't need as much work as later chapters will, but nonetheless we're happy at how well the content has held up over time.
That's all for now. Back to writing!
Regards,
Noel
