Next week I'll be talking at TechEd North America in Atlanta. Here are the details, and hope to see you there!

DEV323: A Taste of F#: Today and Future

Breakout Session DEV323

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 provides integrated support for F#, a productive new functional and object-oriented programming language for the Microsoft .NET Framework. This session highlights the many ways developers can leverage F# in Visual Studio 2010, including examples of when and where F# can be applied most effectively, and how F# integrates naturally with existing solutions, as well as showing many of the most exciting features of the F# language and tools. Demos range from real-world high-productivity exploration with the F# Interactive, up to robust .NET component development, introducing powerful F# language features including support for parallelism, succinct expressive syntax, rich access to .NET and the more declarative functional style of programming in F#. We also take a look at what’s ahead for F#, integrating data and services into the programming language through F# type providers.
