great course for functional programing introduction!

clear lectures, amazingly designed exercises, really couldn't ask for anything more.

The best lecturer I've seen for a long time. Unfortunately you need to watch next weeks episodes to get the basics to solve the puzzles.

Great course that introduces you some Scala's basics. Interesting tasks after every week does not allow you to give up or lose interest.

Prof. Odersky is a fantastic lecturer who expertly explained the basics of functional programming, from motivations to implementations.

Great course that touches upon all skills needed to get started with Scala as well as some really great functional programming ideas!

very satisfying course getting to know new ways to solve problems ,mind blowing,simple methods doing complex jobs ,thank you Martin:)

At times, easy. At other times, very difficult. But it's great to learn from the creator of the language itself. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed this course, even if sometimes seems kind of heavy on the math / logic side, but it was a useful exercise, for me at lest.

Very good introduction to functional programming in Scala, good to understand principles of design and purely functional thinking.

This course will make you a better programmer. Take it and persevere through the homework (paradigm shifts don't happen overnight).

Truely great programming assignments, well fitted to utilize all the techniques introduced during the lectures! Highly recommended.

Scala programming is very fun, I very like it. The assignments are very challenging, and some are difficult for the beginner step.

Very interesting, more in-depth than any scala tutorial I've read. Best thing is that it gently introduced functional programming.

Buen curso para aprender programacion funcional y utilizar correctamente Scala. Es complejo si no tienes un basico de programacion

Good course. A few problems at the beginning of the course are from SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) book.

Very interesting course for those who want to step into a world of functional programming. I quite liked lectures and assignments

the practical tasks are quite involving, so it gives students a good understanding of FP principles. I really enjoyed it. Thanks!

It's hard to begin with functional programming coming from the imperative paradigm, but this is definitely the best way to start.

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.
