Description
Developers are challenged today to build applications in less time, while maintaining high standards of quality, reliability, security, and performance. The F programming language can help you meet these challenges by letting you write solutions with less code, fewer bugs, and better alignment with business requirements. This course follows practical approach, where initially you will setting up our F development & then look in depth at two powerful techniques for building real-world F applications: type-first design and function composition. We'll then learn to leverage advanced F tools to build and test applications. Then you will learn how to set up a development environment and design a build process with tools that leverage the F language.Finally you learn, how to process large sets of data with maximal performance and efficiency using asynchronous workflows, agents, and .NET reactive extensions.Contents and OverviewThis training program includes 3 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.The first course, Building F Applications starts by showing how to use the functional features of F to rapidly turn requirements into software designs that are correct, complete, extensible, bug-free, and easy to read and understand. We will start by setting up our F development environment and reviewing some key language features. We'll then look in depth at two powerful techniques for building real-world F applications: type-first design and function composition. We'll then learn to leverage advanced F tools to build and test applications.The video course examines key language features and functional programming techniques with the goal of providing a good understanding of the basic building blocks that can be used to build higher abstractions and more comprehensive solutions. As we go, we will learn how to set up a development environment and design a build process with tools that leverage the F language.The second course, Data Programming with F presents practical techniques for handling real-world data programming challenges. We'll first see how to build efficient, extensible engines to parse and process documents and data streams. Then we'll study how to process large sets of data with maximal performance and efficiency using asynchronous workflows, agents, and .NET reactive extensions. Next, we'll learn to use type providers, a unique F feature that lets us program with data as if it were code. By the end of the course, you will be capable of writing solutions with less code, fewer bugs, and better alignment with business requirements.About the AuthorsRichard Broida is a software design and programming consultant specializing in Microsoft Windows and Azure technologies.
