Functional Programming in Scala Capstone

Functional Programming in Scala,

In the final capstone project you will apply the skills you learned by building a large data-intensive application using real-world data. You will implement a complete application processing several gigabytes of data. This application will show interactive visualizations of the evolution of temperatures over time all over the world. The development of such an application will involve: — transforming data provided by weather stations into meaningful information like, for instance, the average temperature of each point of the globe over the last ten years ; — then, making images from this information by using spatial and linear interpolation techniques ; — finally, implementing how the user interface will react to users’ actions.

What people are saying

big data

I didn't learn anything new about Scala or Big Data from this project.

Instead of learning functional design or applying big data analysis framework everything just worked with simple ".par" after large collections.

Buggy grader Most of the case, it is hard to deal with big data.

This course provides an opportunity to handle big data and visualize the handled result on UI.

Good Spark / Big Data project.

Provides a good example of real problem project focussed on Spark and big data analysis.

functional programming

Learn a lot about functional programming and spark, it inspires me how the data could be process in big data world.

I love functional programming!

In my experience - Scala is used a) for a functional programming language b) to drive Spark.

found myself

Actually I have found myself spending more time fighting with the given skeleton and the grader, rather than writing a workable solution.Also, if I were designing this course I would rather go from the top to bottom when slicing the implementation into layers, steps and weeks.

I found myself enthusiastically telling my colleagues about the data files and the spark code to join them.

data analysis

The fact that this course is cataloged under "Data Science > Data Analysis" also suggests that the course's project is data-centric, but that's not the case at all.

This course requires very little data manipulation (basically only the first milestone) and no data analysis at all.

from scratch

Some argue that they should allow us to write everything from scratch and judge the grades by the output, allowing more flexibility for the developemt process.

If you allow me to start from scratch, I'm gonna finish it with C++ or Python.The one thing I say they should really fix is the instability of the grader.
