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.

It is a nice introduction to the specifics of the Scala Language. I did my exercise with pleasure and passion. Thank you Martin!

Very nice introduction to functional programming in Scala. Really enjoyed the course and liked the pace of materials presented.

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.

Excellent introduction to Scala and functional programming overall. I love the algorithmic and mathematical approach of Martin.

Great intro course not only for Scala but for the functional programming paradigm. Exercises help a lot to learn the concepts.

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

Very nice course, anyone interested in the principles of functional programming (and Scala specifically of course) can benefit

Great way to start learning functional programming. Lectures are very well explained and the assignments are fun to implement.

A great course, this is one of the best introductions to FUNctional programming I have come across!

Thanks a lot Prof. Odersky!

This is a fantastic course, teaching the very fundamentals of functional programming in Scala. Would definitely recommend it!

An excellent course

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

Very good course to start. Though the programming assignments require some more reading and understanding on the fundamentals

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

Very interesting and somehow practical. I expected more exercises but in general, each part contains interesting challenges.

The assignments are so much fun and professor Odersky really explained all the concepts well! I also love the exercises too!

Easily one of my favorite classes on coursera. Lectures are excellent and project assignments are certainly worth the time.

This course has triggered my fascination for scala. The examples were well explained and worked out of the box. Great work!

Nice course contains, Hope course material will update in near future with new feature added in Scala programming language.

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.

Very good course love the way Martin has gone about covering the building blocks of Scala along with basic data structures.

Its like learning to write code once again. Prof. Odersky is amazing. He is thorough, precise and a great joy to listen to.
