John Gallagher - Networking with Monads

Networking with Monads

* Discuss what makes a monad (bind / return)
* Show how Optional and Result are monads
* Briefly mention monad transformers
* Demo simple chat client/server that uses all of these concepts (e.g., how "connect and handshake" is relatively simple with monadic error handling)
