### Learning

Below you can find third-party long-form materials strictly focused on Cats:

* (book) [Scala with Cats](https://underscore.io/books/scala-with-cats/)
by Noel Welsh and Dave Gurnell
* (course) [Rock the JVM Cats course](https://rockthejvm.com/p/cats/)
* (tutorial) [herding cats](http://eed3si9n.com/herding-cats/) by Eugene Yokota

There's already a link to the "resources_for_learners.html" page in this file (see https://github.com/typelevel/cats#documentation). Perhaps it would be better to add missing resources to the referenced page in the docs instead.

# Tutorials
## Courses
* [Scala with Cats course](https://rockthejvm.com/p/cats/) by Daniel Ciocîrlan of [Rock the JVM](https://rockthejvm.com/) - This course is specifically designed for Cats and explores all the major data types and type classes from Cats in detail with practice exercises. It has all the required theory for understanding the mental model of Cats, it's pragmatic and focused on code with realistic scenarios.

## Tutorials
* [herding cats](http://eed3si9n.com/herding-cats/) by Eugene Yokota
* [Scala Exercises](https://www.scala-exercises.org/cats) by 47 Degrees
offers multiple online exercises to learn about the type classes and
datatypes included in Cats.

# Example Projects
## Example Projects
* [Scala Pet Store](https://github.com/pauljamescleary/scala-pet-store)
Demonstrates FP techniques while maintaining approachability for people with an OO background. Uses tagless final for the core domain, and popular Typelevel libraries including Cats, Http4s, Circe and Doobie.

* [Easy and efficient data validation with Cats](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8nGAo3Jp-Q) by [Daniela Sfregola](https://danielasfregola.com/) this talk introduces Cats, and some of its most interesting components for data validation. In particular, we’ll discuss some options to achieve efficient and expressive data validation. We will also argue that, compared to other options in the language, Cats is particularly suited for the task thanks to its easy-to-use data types and more approachable syntax.
* [Cats by example](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy4hTMY6erDBmvZiEDjtCTP8XCdhaXc2c) by [Thomas Höfer](https://twitter.com/TomTriple) provides a beginner series on various datatypes from Cats.
