We’re very happy to announce that the first 3 out of 4 courses in our Scala specialization have launched on Coursera! The courses available today include:
- Functional Programming Principles in Scala: discover the elements of the functional programming style and learn how to apply them usefully in your daily programming tasks.
- Functional Program Design in Scala: learn how to apply the functional programming style in the design of larger applications.
- Parallel Programming: learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism.
As in the past, all courses feature the much-loved automatic grading of programming assignments!
The final course in the pipeline is Big Data Analysis with Scala and Spark, which we’re hoping will follow in a couple of months along with the Scala capstone project – a ~4 week long project designed to push you to build a larger, more challenging Scala application.
All courses are available both for free and as part of the Scala specialization, which is a verified mini-degree from Coursera.
Or to enroll in each course independently (for free, but without a certificate), you can visit each course’s landing page:
More info about each course can be found on the Scala Specialization page, or on the Scala Center’s website. Questions, or to join the discussion about the Scala Center, visit us in our forums and chat rooms.
