So you have seen a few sessions on F# that introduce the concept. Maybe you are now excited about functional programming - or maybe you need a little more convincing to really see how it is used in the "real world". Come to this session, and see examples of useful F# applications. In the session, we will walk through: * A simple ORM written in F# * F# based Monte-Carlo simulation * F# based Natural Language Processing While we will be seeing demonstrations, as we go through these examples, attention will be paid to how F# is particularly useful for solving these types of problems.

F# Overview

Presenter: Michael Hale
Time: 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 005

Michael will give an overview of the syntax and language features of F#, with emphasis on the features that distinguish it from C# and VB on the .NET platform. The discussion and demos will show scenarios in algorithmic programming and web scripting where some developers find F# more suited to the task than C# or VB. The goal will be to encourage existing .NET programmers to consider adding F# to their toolkit.
