Hi all

After previously inquiring on this list, I understood that the next Functional Programming
Coursera (progfun) would kick off in September 2015.

However it's September now and there is still no sign of enrollment opening up.
https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun

Can anyone supply a firm timeframe for when this course will next get started ?

thanks & regards

Eoin

Hi,

any update on this ?

We organized a study group of colleagues to prep for the progfun course over the summer.
They are all Scala newbies & are now psyched up about Scala, and about starting the course for real.

but where is the course ??

thanks

Eoin

The September course has indeed been delayed because there will be some changes to the format. We still expect the course to come out this fall. We'll have an announcement as soon as things are definite.

Great! Thanks for the info Dr Odersky. There is a study group of people in my employer (Workday)who have been diligently prepping for this all summer, and who will be very pleased to hear that it is indeed going ahead this Fall :-)

Regards.

Hi

any update on this previous question?

I note the previous reply from Dr.Odersky saying the course is still expected to come out this Fall. However it is mid-November now.
I also note the associated EPFL university course, of which the first half is the online Coursera course, does indeed seem to be underway. (http://lamp.epfl.ch/teaching/progp)

Can anyone shed some light ?

thanks & regards

No, unfortunately we are still facing some unresolved issues with this
one. Sorry. But there will be a course for sure, we just do not know
when everybody will be done with the changes.

Is there anyway the autograder can be reinstated to the course that is currently up on coursera? Currently, assignments can be submitted, but no response is given from the autograder.

This would be a great help in the meanwhile for folks who want to do the course self paced...

Thanks.

+1 on re-enabling the grader. A group of us were hoping to use the course as part of our larger reading group. The idea being to discuss the optimal solution to assignments and understand the solutions as group.

I thought it was not possible because coursera changed the requirements?

It would really be great to get an ETA. It sounds like they need more manpower.

+1 for the autograder... maybe as a binary in whatever form if it does not work on coursera

It seems like the progfun Coursera has now completely disappeared. I was half-way through the slides/exercises, but have found today that I cannot continue.

https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun is now a 404 page.

Does anybody know what is going on here?

Hi Gareth,

a bunch of new courses launched this week which cover pretty much the same contents:
