Certificate in Functional Programming

Course details

Functional Programming is a programming paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data. In functional code, the output value of a function depends only on the arguments that are passed to the function. The certification acts as a proof of your skills on professional social media like LinkedIn and for better job prospects.

Note: Please note that the course comes with online e-learning
(videos) only. No hard copy will be provided.
