Being functional and productive - a quick introduction to F#

Attend the Canary Wharf Dot Net User Group's (CWDNUG) upcoming meeting to hear Diego Colombo speak about F#, covering the following topics:

  • F# key types
  • Immutability, and how it's an advantage
  • Recursion in functional languages
  • Units of measure in code, improving type information and static checks
  • Parallelism, asynchronous patterns, and functional language performance


This promises to be a very interesting meeting, and a must-see for F# enthusiasts!

F# comes "in the box" with Visual Studio 2010, which means it's now very easy to get up and running. As a .NET language, it's very easy to integrate with C# or VB systems.

About the User Group

  • Growing awareness of the company’s capabilities with local finserv clients
