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...

Really good explanation by the instructor. Good assignments. The assignments gave a good insights into functional programming. I loved the way the problems were decomposed into neat smaller functions.
