"If you are a former Java developer and have become a Scala fanboy like me, you will probably sooner or later encounter terms like monad, functor or other mysteries from the realm of category theory which make you feel like a little dummkopf (screamingly funny for a German like me, according to www.dict.cc this seems to be a proper English verb)."

"The monad concept will be presented to an audience with the assumption of knowledge of the generics concept of either the Java or C# programming languages or some other form of parametric polymorphism. The concept will be presented in a way with the objective of supplying enough understanding to apply the practical implications and will not address the underlying mathematics or category theory."
