Synopsis

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.
