title: Three Scala courses launched on Coursera!
---

We're very happy to announce that the first 3 out of 4 courses in our Scala
specialization have launched on Coursera! 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.

Or to enroll in each course independently (for free, but without a certificate),
you can visit each course's landing page:

- **[Functional Programming Principles in Scala](https://www.coursera.org/learn/progfun1/)**
- **[Functional Program Design in Scala](https://www.coursera.org/learn/progfun2/)**
- **[Parallel Programming](https://www.coursera.org/learn/parprog1/)**

More info about each course can be found on the [Scala Specialization page](https://www.coursera.org/specializations/scala), or on
the [Scala Center's website](https://scala.epfl.ch/). Questions, or to join the discussion about the Scala Center, visit us in the [Scala Center gitter channel](gitter.im/scala/center)!
