Monad for Scala Newbies

Intended audience: People who come from Java background and just starting to explore Scala/FP and wanna learn what’s a Monad in the simplest way possible.

Intro to Monad

There are plenty of articles in the Internet about Monads but nothing is simple enough to understand for such specific set of audience I mentioned above (like the past me several years back or like my newly joined colleagues).

So in this article I’ll try to explain Monads in a way that is easily understandable for them.
