In this capstone project, you will apply advanced functional programming skills in Scala to build a large data-intensive application using real-world weather data. The course challenges you to implement a complete application that processes several gigabytes of data to create interactive visualizations showing the evolution of temperatures over time across the globe. The development process is divided into distinct modules that guide you through transforming raw weather station data into meaningful information, such as calculating average temperatures for different locations over extended periods. You'll learn to generate visual representations using spatial and linear interpolation techniques, including bilinear interpolation for creating more accurate imagery. The project culminates in implementing an interactive user interface that responds dynamically to user actions, allowing for exploration of temperature trends and deviations from normal patterns. This hands-on project integrates all the functional programming concepts learned throughout the specialization into a real-world application with practical utility.
