Functional Program Design in Scala

I learned a lot If you are able to pass this course, you are very strong :-) Great course well taught Not a bad course, a nice introduction to monads, reactive programming and futures, though it has a lot of disconnected chunks and exercises from the old course and isn't as polished as the first one about FP (which, in my opinion, really set the bar for other courses).

The lab for the third week was unrelated to the material, and the fourth week is a bunch of videos from the previous course of reactive programming in Scala.

The best This course was a more or less succsessful excerpt of the course "Reactive Programming in Scala" wich can still be found on youtube and in the net.

Also you can find quick intodution to reactive programming in this course, however I want to know more about reactive programming.

I received full grade for second assignment doing nothing.It will be great if you attach lectures from Reactive Programming at least as optional The course topics seem a little disjoint, some complex topics like monads and futures require more examples or a more throrough explanation.

If you're unfamiliar with reactive programming (as I was) the material will be challenging.

Such central to FPD theme as reactive programming is overcondensed into really limited amount of time.

Akka Actor was said to be covered in the previous "Reactive programming principle" course, disappeared here, and some other content gone, too.I thinks FRP is quite interesting, hope this course structure can be improved and more examples/practical assignments provided.

I was able to figure things out enough to complete the assignments, but based on the exercises in the course I wouldn't feel comfortable implementing functional reactive programming in a production environment--this was a good introduction to the concepts, but the solution in the programming assignments feels very makeshift and is not something I have a lot of trust in.

Simply excellent, Scala does not cease to amaze me, thx Nice course, reactive programming is very powerful paradigm, especially for UI.

The introduction to functional reactive programming is well done.

The last week about reactive programming was a little hamfisted, though.

Thanks to Martin Odersky The presented material wasn't coherent for me, I didn't walk away with knowledge of functional design principles for larger/complex software.

To me every mooc by Martin Odersky is pure gold.

Gracias Martin Odersky por inventar scala.

Course material looked sometimes recycled and unstructered Great course to have a pratical introduction to functional design using Scala Exceptionally great teaching by Professor Martin Odersky, I am right now wondering why his scala.react way of Signals approach is not adopted by any of the major UI platforms ... it makes lot of sense to me having worked in UI layer for a long time and understanding the mess that event driven architecture brings Another great course.

The course in general is not as good as Martin Odersky's first course, but it still has interesting bits to learn about functional programming.

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 !

Prof. Martin Odersky, is truly incredible !

Thank you Martin Odersky and his team for this great language and set of courses!

Manner of teaching of Erik Meijer is really annoying.

A well-paced and intellectually challenging introduction to the concepts and practice of functional reactive programming, with two AMAZING instructors (Martin Odersky and Erik Meijer)!

The video's from Erik Meijer in week 4 seemed a bit artificial.

Also, the mish-mash of Futures-related lectures was a bit confusing (despite Erik Meijer's obvious enthusiasm for the subject).

Fantastic coruse by Martin Odersky and Erik Meijer.

I do appreciate Erik Meijer as a professional and a scientist.

Really surprised in week 4 when Erik Meijer made an appearance as guest lecturer!

This is just a pared down (worse) version of an older class, "Principles of Reactive Programming", which I started but didn't finish three years ago.

Mostly as good as the course "Functional Programming Principles in Scala" I took couple of years ago.

Videos are great, however it would be good to update the content since videos are from >6 years ago.

In same cases the video lectures even display the wrong title for the course, or mention lectures that no longer exist in this version of the course!The course has interesting parts (I was especially thrilled when I saw there were lectures about FRP), but its quality is way below "Functional Programming Principles in Scala".

The lectures make reference to other lessons that no longer appear in the course, and the assignments frequently have nothing to do with the lecture material.

This course has some really good material but the way it has been presented is very disjointed and does not really do the job of properly illustrating Functional Program Design.

Functional Program Design in Scala is one of the best courses for those who want to apply the functional programming style in the design of larger applications using functional programming concepts.

Last two weeks are definitely confusing, since the staff seems to have rearranged and removed some ofthe content.

Lots of the topics require outside material to really feel like you've got a minimal handle on the larger designs it's teaching.
