Scala is one of the most popular general-purpose languages that supports both object-oriented and functional programming. In this course, you will learn how to create back-end HTTP services using Scala's functional programming paradigm.

You will also learn how to develop, test, and document the service using both pure and impure ways. You will be exposed to the differences between pure and impure implementation, their respective pros and cons, and how pure implementation can be more robust in terms of performance, understandability, testability, and type safeness. 

By the end of the course, you will have a clear idea of how functional programming works in Scala and how you can use the available tools more effectively.

Pure Functional HTTP APIs in Scala

Which of the following is best in terms of both efficiency and ease?

Which of the following is best in terms of both efficiency and ease?

Because of significant compile-time overhead.

Things will get broken if an attribute name is changed.

Why is it not recommended to use semi-automatic derivation in the case of a public API?

Why is it not recommended to use semi-automatic derivation in the case of a public API?

An `IO Monad` will:

1) Defer side-effects
2) Stop code from throwing exceptions

An <code>IO Monad</code> will:
<ol>
<li>Defer side-effects</li>
<li>Stop code from throwing exceptions</li>
</ol>
