About the Course
Top reviews
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.
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.

•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.
By Carlos G
•This course is very good, but subject sequence, presentation design and user interaction could improve.
By Edward P
•I took more than 12 hours to finish the assignment for week 4. The estimate (3h) is likely to be wrong.
By Mykyta M
•The source provides with great theory, but practice assignments sometimes get way too complicated.
By Arnoud H
•Bit chaotic at the start. Later some nice functional programming paradigms and scala internals.
By Kelvin G
•Not very (functional programming) beginner friendly, but absolutely worth the pain and effort!!
By Michał P
•A bit dry at times but overall a comprehensive introduction to functional programming in Scala.
By Marco v S
•Covers fundamental theory well and examples and exercises are chosen well to make it practical.
By Alessandro M
•Course is very good and is explaining very well how to start Functional Programming in Scala.
By Michele L
•great course but missing the possibility to download the code of the exercises in the videos
By Pooshan V
•Need more practice walk through exercise. Need more example and steps. Overall really good.
By Wolfgang M
•Very good introduction to Scala. Elegant programming shown by Mr. Odersky was fun to watch!
By Vilmos Á
•I really enjoyed completing challenges, but videos were a bit too theoretical for my taste.
By Kevin T
•Assignments up until the last one were relatively easy, which is the only criticism I have.
By Obada J
•the only problem here is the assigments, they are hard and unrelated somehow to the videos
By Edgar T
•Great introductory course for those starting a journey in Functional Programming or Scala
By Hardik S
•Challenging course if you are joining without any past formal education on CS concepts
By Rúben A M d C
•very good course. Teached the basics of scala and allows for more courses to be taken
By Rudolf Z
•Good explanation of Functional Programming basic concepts. Assignments are also good.
By Kuba F
•Great course to learn basics for Scala, but for me too much math related assignments.
By Roger F C
•Little bit hard. But the teacher is a genius... So its dificult to follow some times
By Shriraj B
•Good Course to wrap up with scala, and how to think functionally when writing code.
By Eduardo C
•Good introduction, some information seem to basic to be able to solve the exercises
By Hanif N
•Really helped me understand the basic concepts of functional programming and Scala
