Learner Reviews & Feedback for Functional Programming Principles in Scala by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
About the Course
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...

As expected Martin is awesome in explaining principle of functional programming. I have started reading the book as well to make sure I keep up with the knowledge which I have gained from this course.

It took me much longer than expected to finish the course and sometimes it made me feel stupid and helpless. Diving into functional programming was a mind bending experience, totally worth time spent!

Excellent, still maybe, not enough teacher - students interactions for person who paid for the course. (in forums etc...).

It was good fun to complete it but some of the assignments did take more than 3 hours, more like between 4 and 5 hours

I really enjoyed the videos and the assignments. I wish there were more simple exercises for week 5 as an assignment

Scala from the source! Great way to get a great introduction to the language and how it is best applied to problems

Overall it was a nice course, but I believe sometimes it would progress a little faster than I would expect.

Awesome course, but would be better with videos about the assignment solutions (e.g. after the submission).

some requirements during the assignments are quite hard to understand, but for the rest is a great course.

Great course, I have learned quite a lot. Perhaps not the best course if you are new to both FP and Scala.

The course was a little more involved than I expected, but nevertheless worth the time you invest in it.

Need a bit more active participation in discussion forum. Other than that very well articulated course.

This course is very good, but subject sequence, presentation design and user interaction could improve.

I took more than 12 hours to finish the assignment for week 4. The estimate (3h) is likely to be wrong.

The source provides with great theory, but practice assignments sometimes get way too complicated.

Bit chaotic at the start. Later some nice functional programming paradigms and scala internals.

Not very (functional programming) beginner friendly, but absolutely worth the pain and effort!!
