Scala is a very unique programming language. It is compatible with Java yet a bit different, as it supports two programming paradigms: object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP). Scala is also being used in Big data space along with Apache Spark, which has further fueled its adoption by many Java developers interested in Big Data Space. Learning Scala will certainly make you more marketable. Many companies are using or migrating to Scala these days, including Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Quora.

The Typesafe Introductory Scala for Data Science Curriculum is designed to give experienced Data Developers and Data Scientists the knowledge to confidently start programming in Scala for data science tasks. The course ensures they will have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the language, the tooling, and the development process as well as a good appreciation of the more advanced features.

Learners taking this course should have:

Experience with Java (preferred), Python, or another object-oriented language
No previous Scala knowledge is required
No previous experience with Data Science concepts is required. These concepts will be explained as needed
