课程概述

Functional programming is becoming increasingly widespread in industry. This trend is driven by the adoption of Scala as the main programming language for many applications. Scala fuses functional and object-oriented programming in a practical package. It interoperates seamlessly with both Java and Javascript. Scala is the implementation language of many important frameworks, including Apache Spark, Kafka, and Akka. It provides the core infrastructure for sites such as Twitter, Netflix, Zalando, and also Coursera. In this course, you will discover the elements of the functional programming style and learn how to apply them usefully in your daily programming tasks, such as modeling business domains or implementing business logic. You will also develop a solid foundation for reasoning about functional programs, by touching upon proofs of invariants and the tracing of execution symbolically. The course is hands-on; most units introduce short programs that serve as illustrations of important concepts and invite you to play with them, modifying and improving them. The course is complemented by a series of programming projects as homework assignments. Recommended background: You should have at least one year of programming experience. Proficiency with Java or C# is ideal, but experience with other languages such as C/C++, Python, Javascript, or Ruby is also sufficient. You should have some background in mathematics (e.g., algebra, logic, proof by induction). Last, you should have some familiarity with using the command line....

It was a good introduction to Scala for me. The video are precise and concise. The assignment are made for you to apply the concepts seen in the videos, but they remain challenging and fun to do!

The course is very good and labs are sometimes difficult but useful. However some material was not covered, and it is always like that, but still it can include iterators and some other chapters

It's hard to begin with functional programming coming from the imperative paradigm, but this is definitely the best way to start.

My first experience of functional programming is due to this course. This is also the one I enjoyed the most in Coursera so far.

The course is very well designed and the assignments challenge you to go back to the content and understand concepts in and out.

Great introduction to Scala and some more advanced programming/compsci concepts I don't think many other courses would go into.

Good to get the basics directly from the creator of the language.

Enjoyed the course despite I was told many times it's boring.

Great course but need improvement in terms of assignment, assignment must be more descriptive on how to implement the methods.

An excellent course

The assignments were quite hard though. It's a big leap from c#, java style imperative way of programming.

I learned a lot but the assignments were quite time consuming, for some of them it took me even more than 3h to get a 10/10

really challenging, mostly if it's been a while you haven't coded a functional language and you haven't practiced recursion

Great course to dive very loud on Scala, I recommended that for you if you want to work with this great funtional language.
