Ah, just realized this is Odersky’s course which is not what I was thinking of! I really did NOT enjoy the progfun course. I found the exercises boring and I found Scala itself fussy and annoying (and I _hate_ Eclipse!). And this is from someone who did Scala in production for about 18 months before switching to Clojure in 2011! The course I was thinking of, which I praised so highly was actually this one: https://www.coursera.org/course/proglang Programming Languages, University of Washington, Professor Dan Grossman. That’s the one I enjoyed so much I took it three times! It starts out with Standard ML to teach you about statically typed FP, then it moves on to Racket to teach you about dynamically typed FP, then it wraps up with Ruby to look at how dynamically typed OOP contrasts with the two FP approaches.
