ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Episode 18
This week Matt Podwysocki puts the fun in functional programming with a deep dive into F#. We've heard plenty of high level discussions of F# and functional programming lately, so we tried to dig into the gory details as much as possible:- What is functional programming, and why should we care?
- Types of applications that would and wouldn't benefit from F#
- How F# differs from C# 3.x and Javascript
- How F# is being used (games, scripting, data analysis and scrubbing, etc.)
- F# pattern matching
- Using F# in your C# or VB based applications today
- Getting started: F# Interactive, reading the F# source, books and resources
- Interaction with DLR
- Functional features we'd like to see in C# and VB
- Spec# and Sing#
- Matt Podwysocki's blog
- hubFS
- Download the Microsoft F#, September 2008 Community Technology Preview
- F# Developer Center
- Dryad
- Spec#
- Singularity (Sing#)
