# arrow

Hello all! Are there any other suggested resources for understanding the Arrow library, or the concepts used within? Many of the terms (function names and class names) are foreign to many new to the functional world. A high percentage of the functions/classes and usage are not documented. It seems there is an assumption of previous knowledge to utilize the libraries. Is there another documentation source from another library that perhaps this pulled its ideas from (Scala?) for those new to functional programming understand what these mean and are use for? I've been trying to move a team forward but it's just to difficult to be bombarded with so many questions due to the lack of resources, and the team has already pulled back and are devolving back to old habits.

Also, feel free to dm me any questions 🙂

Thanks for the links. I did enjoy that video and have recommended it.

Hey @Alan B,

Did you checkout https://arrow-kt.io/ ?
A lot of time and energy has gone towards the documentation, but it's very hard to do well and suit everyone.

If you have some feedback or thoughts they're always welcome. If something is completely undocumented, feel free to create an issue on the Arrow repository for it! That way we can keep track of what is lacking in the documentation.

All questions are also welcome in this channel of course 🙂

I've been working on a Ktor back-end example, it's not complete yet but there is a bunch of things end-to-end finished already that should give you some good ideas of what a functional microservice might look like in Kotlin.
