Validated type section is not present in Chapter 6 #223

In the generated book there are references in Chapter 4 for the Validated type that will be introduced in Chapter 6, and it is also mentioned in the Chapter 6 summary. However, the section for Validated seems to be omitted from the book. I can see the source page here however : https://github.com/scalawithcats/scala-with-cats/blob/develop/src/pages/applicatives/validated.md

It looks like the section on Validated may have been (accidentally?) removed during this commit.

Good spot! We replaced that section with one on Parallel. You can accumulate errors directly using Either without switching to Validated using that type class. You tend to get simpler code compared to switching back and forth between Either and Validated.

Thanks for the clarification. Just to note that the Case Study on Validation seems to assume pre-knowledge of the Validated type so it might be good to integrate some of that section into the case study. Or Utilise Parallel in the case study instead.

Yes, I think we'd eventually like to rewrite all of that content.
