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.

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.

A really great introduction to Scala, grounded in a solid and time-tested functional curriculum. As someone with a fair amount of experience, this helped me come up to speed in Scala quickly.

Amazing. Very useful how it started off throwing you into the deep end with recursion, to help jar your mind, opening it to functional.... for those of us who coded imperative for many years

Great work, great pedagogy. I really enjoyed learning Scala principles. The proposed exercices are really challenging, and very well constructed. Thanks a lot for this MOOC. Thank you Martin.

The best part is the assignments, which make you think in a more pragmatic and functional manner, something that is not really straightforward for people coming from an object-oriented world.

Pace of progression of concepts was just right. You may need to spend more time with the course than what is suggested. I found myself spending more than 3hrs on the assignments consistently.

A very detailed and thorough explanation accompanied with a very apt set of assignments - and the plus point is that it all comes from the creator of SCALA himself. What can one ask for more?

Excellent course! I would have liked to see a brief discussion/digression of anonymous classes and their usage. I also found the recommended reading to build nicely on the concepts presented.

This is a great course for learning Functional Programming language. All the course content including Assignments are up to the mark. I thank the tutors for providing such great information.

Muy bueno el curso, hace un repaso importante por el lenguaje. Me gusto mucho los ejemplos y los momentos donde se tomaba el tiempo para programar junto a uno y mostrar las funcionalidades.

Imaginative and challenging course. You may feel your brain melt (or even break) as you try to adapt it to the functional programming mindset, but ultimately you will be the smarter for it.

This course has already changed how I code (even when I'm using languages that are not Scala). It has really opened my mind to a new way of thinking. Thank you to the makers of the course.

Ever heard about (Ever heard about (Ever heard about (Ever heard about (recursion?)))). If you're looking for a course on the fundamentals of functional programming, this is a nice choice.

It's awesome lecture!
I already use Scala but the lectures are useful for further comprehension of the language.
Although I needed to relearn high school's math like Mathematical induction.

Fantastic teaching and some very challenging exercises! It gives you a really great tool kit and some very useful source to refer to. Very good fun and a big thank you to the team at EPFL.

This is changing the way you used to think about programming, forcing yourself to not mutate state, to trade loops for recursion is super strange and has some sick pleasure attached to it

A very informative and in-depth introduction to FP and Scala. The Scala part is okay if you already know some other programming languages, but the FP part is delightful and not that easy.

Must have introduction to Scala. Odersky is great lecturer and I enjoyed the course greatly, but some lectures were hard to follow and the first and the last assignment were quite hard...

Very good, inspiring introduction to Scala. I recommend to everyone interested functional programming or Scala. I would say it was a bit hard, but eventually when I made it, I was happy!

I have been developing applications on a scala more that year and have taken a course to structure and evaluate my knowledges. Highly recommend for beginners and experienced developers.

My mind has been made recursive; I hope - tail-recursive :)
Essential knowledge and amazing experience with assignments! Huffman Coding is COOL! ;)
The must-have course for FP developers.

Top notch teaching from the designer of Scala. Highly recommend this to any programmer new to functional languages as you would gain a new perspective for tackling programming problems.

I'd very much recommend this course to anyone interested on programming, as it teaches you, week by week, to think about your approach to a problem in a different and enlightening way.

A Great Course... I had already worked in Scala for 6+ months when I took this course, and it really helped me clear my fundamentals in many things. Martin Odersky is a great teacher.

The elegancy of functional programming has been fully demostrated in this fabulous course. It used to be pages of Java code but now it's merely lines. It's not easy, but it deserves,
