As you probably guessed from the title above, sending an SMS is the main topic of today's article. I started the articles with a few words about SMS service providers, then I explained what you may take into consideration while choosing the one for you, why I choose the Vonage, and added some more details about this platform. I also provided a simple step-by-step implementation of SMS sender service in Scala.

Reading Time: 5 minutes This post describes what to expect and how to start with Scala 3 Or Dotty. In this post, we will get a teaser of what changes to expect from Dotty as well as some of the new changes in the major release. At the end of the post, we will see how we can quickly start with the Dotty compiler and example code.

In this blog, we are going to see the use of Either in scala. We use Options in scala but why do we want to go for Either? Either is a better approach in the respect that if something fails we can track down the reason, which in Option None case is not possible.

Reading Time: 4 minutes A blog on using higher-order functions in Scala.A higher-order function is a function that takes in another function as argument and itself returns some value or function. Some examples of higher-order functions include map, filter, reduce, foreach etc.

Today we'll take a more in-depth look into Scala's unique aspects by pitting it against Java and exploring the differences between Scala and Java. Read through this article and see which one is more suitable for your project.

Programming languages are great for developing innovative projects on new-age technologies, there are significant differences between Python and Scala. Surely you don't know about it.
