Eugene Yan reviews Martin Odersky's Scala functional programming course

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Eugene Yan shares his experience taking a Coursera course on functional programming in Scala, taught by the language's designer, Martin Odersky. The six-week course covered Scala fundamentals, functional programming concepts, and emphasized software engineering practices like unit testing with ScalaTest. Yan found that while he may not frequently use recursive solutions in his data science work, the course improved his understanding of Scala and problem-solving through tail recursion, ultimately making his code more robust and efficient.
