This in-depth tutorial introduces you to F#, Microsoft's new multi-paradigm programming language. You'll not only learn how to use F# as a general-purpose language similar to C# and Visual Basic, but as a functional programming language for developing concurrent and math-intensive applications on the .NET platform. With Programming F#, you'll get the fundamentals and advanced concepts of the official version that will ship with Visual Studio 2010.
Full Description
Both the language and Programming F# will release in the fall of 2009, but you can still get started on F# through our Rough Cuts edition, which gives you access to our manuscript as it evolves, either online or via PDF.
With Programming F#, Rough Cuts edition, you will:
- Get a clear understanding of functional programming, and how you can use it to write better code
- Learn language-oriented programming with F#, a style that lets you write code tailored to the domain of your application
- Use advanced F# concepts, such as having an existing .NET routine execute in parallel without having to write plumbing code to manage the threads
- Implement design patterns in F# for both object-oriented and functional programming
Chris Smith tests every element for the F# team, giving him a unique command of the language. With Programming F#, you'll benefit from his expertise right away.
