Functional Programming in Scala Specialization

Learn how to create elegant code that runs the first time it's run. This specialization teaches you how to use Scala, a popular programming language, to learn functional programming. This Specialization starts with the fundamental building blocks of functional programming. It then moves on to how to combine these concepts to create larger functional programs. Through a series of practical examples and programming assignments you will learn how to analyze small and large data sets. This includes parallel programming on multicore architectures and distributed programming on clusters using Apache Spark. You will be able to use the skills learned in your final capstone project by creating a large-scale data-intensive application with real-world data.
