[Coursera] Functional Programming in Scala Specialization
Program on a Higher Level. Write elegant functional code to analyze data that’s big or small
Description
Functional Programming in Scala Specialization is a functional programming training series with Scala published by Coursera Online Academy. This training course deals with programming with Scala language from a completely new and modern world and will introduce you to the world of software development. Functional programming is one of the most used and important topics in software development, which is used by a large number of companies and developers. By implementing functional programming in Scala language, the user can create powerful programs to analyze all kinds of small and large data sets. The design and architecture of massive and large applications with the Scala programming language in the private form of functional programming is a very valuable and rare skill among programmers and developers.
This training course is one of the most comprehensive courses published in the Scala programming language and functional programming, and among the most important topics discussed in it, we can mention programming and distributed computing, parallel programming, and multiple architectures. did The analysis of small and large sets of information and…

About this Specialization
Discover how to write elegant code that works the first time it is run.
This Specialization provides a hands-on introduction to functional programming using the widespread programming language, Scala. It begins from the basic building blocks of the functional paradigm, first showing how to use these blocks to solve small problems, before building up to combining these concepts to architect larger functional programs. You’ll see how the functional paradigm facilitates parallel and distributed programming, and through a series of hands on examples and programming assignments, you’ll learn how to analyze data sets small to large; from parallel programming on multicore architectures, to distributed programming on a cluster using Apache Spark. A final capstone project will allow you to apply the skills you learned by building a large data-intensive application using real-world data.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will build small to medium size Scala applications by applying knowledge and skills including: functional programming, parallel programming, manipulation of large data sets, higher-order functions, property-based testing, functional reactive programming.
