Learn how to effectively attach interfaces to code using typeclasses in Scala, by implementing a genetic algorithm. The course covers creating types, comparators, and various implementations, with a focus on testing using ScalaCheck. The teaching method is hands-on, with examples run directly from the REPL. This course is intended for developers familiar with Scala looking to enhance their skills in typeclasses and genetic algorithms.
