Abstract:
F# A preview of what you will see at CodeMash
You've
learned the basics of functional programming, but you're not sure if
it's useful on an everyday basis. The truth is that functional
programming has a rich history of solving the same real world problems
that imperative and object orient programming have solved. In this talk,
you'll learn to use F# to go beyond the basics of functional
programming and apply it to practical problems. You'll see the anatomy
of an F# application and learn some functional techniques to add to your
programming toolbox. A basic knowledge of immutability, side effects,
and higher order
functions is assumed for this talk, but you'll learn how to apply some
intermediate level functional programming techniques.
