+Come along to another London Scala Workshop at Quantexa!  This month, we'll be hearing from Zainab Ali and Kai Ang on Coding with Cats. We look forward to seeing you!
+
+# Coding with Cats
+
+Christmas is long gone, but it's never too late to celebrate functional programming!  And there's no better way to celebrate than by solving the [Advent of Code](https://adventofcode.com/).
+Join us and have a crack at the first three advent of code challenges.  Starting with pure functions, recursion, collections and error handling, we'll work our way up to using functional libraries such as cats, spire, monocle and fs2.
+
+This workshop is a great opportunity to get started with functional programming and boost your FP skills.
