Zionomicon

In your hands, you have Zionomicon, a comprehensive book lovingly crafted by myself, Adam Fraser, and Milad Khajavi, with one goal: to turn you into a wizard at building modern applications.

Through the course of this book, you will learn how to build cloud-ready applications that are responsive, resilient, elastic, and event-driven.

• They will be low-latency and globally efficient.
• They will not block threads, leak resources, or deadlock.
• They will be checked statically at compile-time by the powerful Scala compiler.
• They will be fully testable, straightforward to troubleshoot with extensive diagnostics.
• They will deal with errors in a principled and robust fashion, surviving transient failures, and handling business errors according to requirements.

In short, our goal with this book is to help you become a programmer of extraordinary power, by leveraging both the Scala programming language and the power of functional composition.

Congratulations on taking your first step toward mastering the dark art of ZIO!
