F# Deep Dives

DESCRIPTION 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 showing how F# was used to solve a complex problem more effectively than would have been possible using a traditional approach. Not only does the book show how a specific solution works in a specific domain, it also tells how F# developers approach problems, what concepts they use to solve them, and how they integrate F# into existing systems and environments. RETAIL SELLING POINTS Elegant solutions to real problems Collection of real-world F# case studies Written by expert F# practitioners AUDIENCE Readers should have at least an introductory knowledge of the F# language. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY 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.
