Craig Dennis
Treehouse TeacherTwo brand new Functional Programming courses are here!!!
Hello everyone!
I am so excited to announce that we have two very highly requested courses available for your consumption! 
Introduction to Functional Programming
AND
Functional programming is really gaining speed in development circles, and I am so glad that we are able to provide you with the best place to get started using it. The Intro to FP course has a new type of code challenge that let's you code from the comfort of your own IDE, and I know y'all are gonna love it.
Please make sure you leave us lots of feedback, and make sure you keep making your voice heard by using the Java Content Roadmap Trello Board.
I'll let you go now....you've got a lot of learning ahead of you!

Treehouse TeacherHi Dino ล porer !
The recommend pre-requisite is Unit Testing in Java and you should have some Gradle awareness for the code challenges.
Languages evolve to meet the needs of their users and it just took a while for Java to catch up. I discuss why it is so hot now, in the second video of the course. I really like Java's approach to the problem space, and I hope you do too!
