A while ago, I wrote a small python program that accesses the api provided by my utility company. The program collects data about my power usage, which allows me to create a graph. This works, but then I thought I might use this problem (read data from an api, store it in a database and run queries) to practice some scala. I’ll be joining a team using scala as their main language for services, so after not having used scala in about a decade, I figured a refresher was in order.
