F#unctional Londoners Meetup Group:Coding Kata: Writing Markdown parser
Coding Kata: Writing Markdown parser
In this session, we’ll look how to write parser for the Markdown document format in F#. We’ll start by writing the parser in a direct style and then evolve it using the power of F# active patterns. We’ll also look how to elegantly process Markdown documents, which is a first step to creating an elegant blogging system in F#. If we’ll have time, I’ll also demonstrate how to use the F# compiler to add F# syntax highlighting to your documents.

The session is suitable for both beginners (we’ll start with simple F# concepts like recursive functions and pattern matching) and advanced developers (you’ll learn about a number of neat tricks that use active patterns and about the F# compiler services).

Please bring a laptop with F# installed if possible:

    Tomas Petricek & Phil Trelford's Functional Programming in C# and F#

    Tomas Petricek’s and Phil Trelford’s two-day Functional Programming in .NET course explains concepts that you need to write modern applications for .NET using F#, C# with LINQ as well as current and upcoming .NET technologies that arise from functional programming ideas. Learning several simple functional concepts will help you understand these technologies and use them effectively. This means that the course will make you a better programmer even if you’re not going to immediately start using F#. This course is based on experience of developing commercial applications in F# and we’ll discuss good ways of introducing F# to your daily work..
