DevWeek preconference 2009 - A Day of F# (Presenter - Oliver Sturm)
Description
Microsoft Research describes F# as “a scripted/functional/imperative/object-oriented programming language”. Combining all those aspects in one language is certainly not an easy task, but they’ve done a good job of it. F# is interesting both as a language to actually consider for your projects and as a source of features that might make it into the mainstream .NET languages tomorrow.
This full-day seminar starts with basic and advanced syntax constructs of the F# language, and goes on to show applications of both functional and imperative/object oriented programming and topics specifically relevant to .NET programming, like exception and IDisposable handling.
The day concludes with a quick overview of libraries included with F#, for instance for compatibility with LINQ and asynchronous programming.
This workshop is the perfect package to introduce .NET programmers to the F# language and its new world of multi-paradigm programming!
