DESCRIPTION
F# is a cross-platform functional programming language supporting .NET, Mono, HTML5 and GPU programming. Functional code returns consistent and predictable results, making it easier to test and reuse, simpler to parallelize, and less prone to bugs. F# has been part of Visual Studio since VS 2010, and has been deployed in a number of production systems. F# and the functional programming style simplifies the development of secure financial engines, machine learning algorithms, and scientific calculations, and creates a high-performance platform for collaborative web applications, games, and other types of applications.
F# Deep Dives presents a collection of real-world F# techniques, each written by expert practitioners. Each chapter presents a new use case where you'll read how the author used F# to solve a complex problem more effectively than would have been possible using a traditional approach. You'll not only see how a specific solution works in a specific domain, you'll also learn how F# developers approach problems, what concepts they use to solve them, and how they integrate F# into existing systems and environments.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Elegant solutions to real problems
- Covers F# 3.0 and VS 2012
- Numerical computing, data visualization, business logic and domain-specific languages
- Information rich programming, including LINQ and F# type providers
- This is a unique collection of examples based on real-world F# solutions to industry challenges
Readers should have at least an introductory knowledge of the F# language.
About the Authors
Tomas Petricek contributed to the development of the F# language at Microsoft Research and is active on StackOverflow. He's the author of Real-World Functional Programming (Manning). Phil Trelford is an early adopter of F# and one of its most vocal advocates. You'll find him at http://trelford.com/blog/author/phil.aspx.
