i thought i knew scala at the time. but i had trouble putting the pieces together. this course really helped me understand how the various parts can be used together in practice.

This is a great course for guiding further study. Lots of the topics require outside material to really feel like you've got a minimal handle on the larger designs it's teaching.

Interesting concepts analyzed in through functional and scala toolset. I enjoyed the homework variety and I think more than few things can be applied in real applications

This course is quite difficult to me, especially the last section. I have to re-watch it so many time to fully understand. At the end of the day, it is worth the effort.

I got even more functional programming knowledge effectively. I also got an Excel or more like Google Sheet core in source code with the Week 5 programming task.

This was just a great continuation of a great beginning after the previous course.

I hope that in the future Martin Odersky will publish more courses.

Thank you !

Great experience with the assignments. Took some time to get understand all the course materials. Highly recommended. Still can learn a lot after reading fpins

I very much enjoyed the course. It was hard enough to challenge me to learn new stuff, yet not too demanding so that I could complete within the alotted time

Awesome course. All assignments except the last one are super difficult.

Maybe the assignments could be made a little simpler by providing some more hints.

The course is really detailed with complex practical issues to be solved. I like the materials and got to know many new things on scala with this course.

Is a nice course to understand some corner stones of most powerful Scala and its environmental features like implicits and testing with properties

Very little spoon feeding in the assignments might place you outside your comfort zone --- but what a blast. Like the 1st course - excellent.

This is an absolutely outstanding course - far better than I would have believed possible. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Scala.

Advantages of Functional programming clearly evident after attending this course and is much easier to follow compared to reading Books on FP

The course is very well prepared and easy to digest, while in the same time, assignments are challenging and allow to check acquired skills.

The programing assignment are challenging. However hard they are, it's important to keep on going. I can guarantee you it will be worth it.

Great course, quite challenging. I hope to practice the skills and make progress easier in the remaining courses in the specialisation!

nice content and challenging assignment. help me understand and start using some popular tools and libraries in Scala eco-system.

Programming with passion.

Scala needs people who show the beauty of using construction in practice, production code.

Many thanks.

Excellent exposition of many new, interesting ideas. Definitely opens your mind and enables you to become a better programmer.

Perfectly organized lectures and challenging exercises as before (With Principles course). Keep up the good work team. Thanks.

Very nice course. Had a lot of material to learn and understand. Helped a lot in understanding reactive programming in Scala.

Differently challenging from first course. This course challenges from learning to utilize tools than from a paradigm shift.

Overall, the course is great. More advanced concepts are covered compared to the first course in the specialization. Thanks!

This course continues where Part 1 left off and covers some of the advanced concepts of FP - especially the dreaded Monads.
