The courses available today include: + +- **Functional Programming Principles in Scala**: discover the elements of the functional programming style and learn how to apply them usefully in your daily programming tasks. +- **Functional Program Design in Scala**: learn how to apply the functional programming style in the design of larger applications. +- **Parallel Programming**: learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism. + +As in the past, all courses feature the much-loved automatic grading of +programming assignments! + +The final course in the pipeline is _Big Data Analysis with Scala and Spark_, +which we're hoping will follow in a couple of months along with the Scala +capstone project – a ~4 week long project designed to push you to build a +larger, more challenging Scala application. + +All courses are available both for free and as part of the Scala specialization, +which is a verified mini-degree from Coursera. + +
