This covers Scala's implicits, and a bit on Typeclasses. The topic of implicit resolution (or 'implicit search') is explained fairly early on, which I found helpful.

There are a few improvements that could be made (Ioanna mentioned that contrasting the functionality of Implicit Class and Type Class would be helpful), but I think this is a good start.

Thanks for those fixes @JamieB-gu - I didn't mdoc those bits, and this has caused me to immediately write examples that didn't compile 🤣
