Nail that Scala interview. Master data structures, algorithms and the pure functional programming mindset with Scala.

Become a master.

Functional programming is not for everyone. It’s hard to master, because it’s hard to think code in a different way. In this course, you will become a functional programming guru. You will be writing 3300+ lines of purely functional Scala code, over 50+ practical problems, ranging from easy 1-2-liners to real beasts.

After you finish this course, your mind will change. You will dream in functional programming. If you’re looking to internalize the functional programming mindset after learning Scala, this course is for you.

Mutable data structures wreak havoc in multithreaded and distributed applications, make 20 lines of code take hours to read and understand (no joke) and make a snowflake look like Hulk when compared to your code. Not to mention the endless stack overflows caused by stack recursion.

We reject that right off the bat. We practice immutable data structures, tail-recursion and pure functional programming. That means no variables, no loops, no mutation, no setters, no i++.

This course will teach you to write code that’s strong as a tank and pure like a baby.

If you’re looking to get a software developer position in Scala, or looking to change jobs, this course will be your Cracking the Coding Interview.

All the problems are framed as exercises you need to complete in a time frame, just like a normal interview. At the end, I will guide you with a solution and in-depth explanations. I won’t just tell you how it works, I will tell you how I got the idea, and how to approach the problems.
