Get to grips with functional programming
Learn a derivative language of Java
Understand how to scale your programs efficiently
Add a new language to your skill set!
Build Scaleable Programs
If you don't know Java or functional programming, don't worry; Scala is a perfect transitional language for both. This online course will guide you every step of the way, with mini-projects at the end of each section to compound your learning and a clear breakdown of the various components that make up the language. Previous programming experience will certainly help, but it's not totally necessary.
You'll start right at the beginning by installing Scala and and getting an overview of the variables, constants and string manipulations. From then on you'll learn the various facets of Scala section by section, using the Eclipse Scala IDE throughout. Among other things, you'll learn the language fundamentals, control flow, functions, classes, file I/O and exception handling.
If you want to learn Java, learn function programming, or just add a new language to your arsenal, this is the course for you. By the end, you'll have gained basic proficiency in Scala and be able to demonstrate an understanding of functional programming.
As one of the most popular functional programming languages out there and one of the most versatile languages across the board, learning Scala is a smart way to upgrade your skills as well as transitioning from object-oriented to functional styles.
What is Scala?
Scala is an object-oriented programming language specially designed to be scaleable. However, it is also a functional language, seamlessly blending the most important elements of both for a powerful do-it-all tool that can be used for one-line expressions or 'mission critical' systems alike. It has a concise syntax, and makes an excellent stepping stone to Java.

Very Nice Explanation!
By Robert Law on 9/27/2017
He speaks clearly and is easy to understand. His overview is good and not too detailed.
By Joseph Doggett on 8/4/2017
This is a really good introduction to Scala. You will learn some basics. You will ease into the language. This course will have to be combined with another course(s) to become proficient in Scala. I did finish the course. I'm glad. Now, I'm on to a different course in Scala. The reason for the 3.5 is that it's a good course, you will learn some things, and people should have realistic expectations on what they will learn from the course.

No Detailed explanation. Instructor is just showing examples by using operators. He is not Explaining When, Why & how to use. What is the significance of Using this compared to others

It was good basic introduction but I was surprised it didn't touch topics like case class, trait, extends App, scala REPL, scala worksheet, etc.

very good
By Maros Korinek on 3/19/2017
too basic. probably good, but I would prefer something not from the fundamentals
By Arun Kumar S on 1/20/2017
Fair enough for people who know java already.
