F# Language, Functional Programming, etc.

This article is partially an excerpt from my book. It introduces the benefits of functional pogramming, and explains the essential aspects of the functional style using F# and C# 3.0. Finally, it also shows how functional style influences the application architecture.

In this article, we'll implement a simple iteractve game using the Reactive LINQ project. The article shows that this way of handling events gives us amog other things a great degree of composability.

In the previous article, I introduced Reactive LINQ. Today, we're going to look at other operators that canbe used for working with events. We'll see aggregation is useful and how to dynamically change (switch) behavior.

In the second part of the series about reactive programming, I introduction the Reactive LINQ project, which allows writing event processing code in C# using LINQ queries.

The LINQ project and changes in C# 3.0 are interesting because they allow implementing many ideas from functional languages in C#. In this article I'll explain "first-class events" in F# and later I'll implemet similar concept using LINQ.

Recently, I announced on my blog that I’m working on a book for Manning called Real-world Functional Programming in .NET. It is more than a month since I wrote about it, so here is a brief update...

Dynamic languages allow you to represent a member using a symbol or a string and to use this symbol to work with the member. In this article I'll show how to do same thing in statically-typed way in F#.

Contains a link to my Bachelor Thesis about F# WebTools, which I partially worked on during my visit in Microsoft Research and which I successfully defended last year.

In this article I look at the F# suppot for ASP.NET and at some interesting aspects of the samples that are available in the F# distribution.

This article describes a 3D version of famous Sierpinski carpet fractal implemented in the F# language using WPF 3D libraries from .NET 3.0.

In the fourth article of the F# overview series, I will shortly describe how I understad the language oriented paradigm and how the F# language can be used for developing libraries using this paradigm.

In the third part of the F# overview, we will look at the F# features that are essential for a smooth interoperability with other .NET languages and form a second part of the F# core language - that is object oriented and imperative programming.
