Progressive .NET Tutorials 2012: Don Syme & Phil Trelford on Practical Functional-first Programming with F#
Practical Functional-first Programming with F#
In this Practical Functional-first Programming with F# tutorial, Don Syme introduces you to the practical application of F#/.NET programming to solve real-world analytical programming problems.

The tutorial will begin with a short lecture introducing the core value proposition of F# - robust, efficient, type-safe, succinct analytical programming which can be deployed in the enterprise context. You’ll then progress through a series of worked examples for learning functional and OO programming in F#, including the F# Koans, samples for interactive charting and some introductory algortihms. You’ll also learn how to use F# with partner technologies such as C#, math/statistics libraries, databases, REST services, ASP.NET, Azure, client-side Javascript and OData.

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.. Find out more here

Tomas Petricek and Phil Trelford’s Advanced F# Programming

Tomas Petricek’s and Phil Trelford’s two day course will teach you how to solve real-world .NET problems in F#. Will guide you through several areas where F# can help you be more productive and solve your problems faster, with code that is efficient and easy to maintain. The examples used in this course are based on experience of developing successful commercial applications in F#. After attending, you’ll be able to recognize where using F# can save your time and money and you’ll know how to integrate F# components in the .NET ecosystem. Find out more here

Udi Dahan's Advanced Distributed Systems Design with SOA

This very intensive 5-day workshop will help you take the pain out of designing large-scale distributed systems. New technologies make it easier to comply with today’s communications and security standards, but they won't magically provide you with a robust and scalable system. Join Udi for a course packed with the wisdom of companies like SUN, Amazon and eBay. Tried-and-true theories and fallacies will be shown, helping you to avoid costly mistakes. Communications patterns like publish/subscribe and correlated one-way request/response will be demonstrated, in conjunction with advanced object-oriented state management practices for long-running workflows. If you enjoy deep architectural discussion, join! To find out more, please go here

Greg Young's CQRS, Domain Events, Event Sourcing and how to apply DDD

This 3-day CQRS course covers Domain Events, Event Sourcing and how to apply DDD. Join to learn all about system building and architectures with Domain Driven Design. The largest problem many run into with Domain Driven Design is in getting the abstract concepts implemented in a concrete way. Many of the stereotypical architectures people use actually make it impossible to apply DDD. Greg's course will help you avoid this. To find out more, please go here

Udi Dahan's Enterprise Development with NserviceBus

In this NServiceBus course Andreas Ohlund -- core committer of the NServiceBUs project -- teaches you all the ins-and-outs of NServiceBus - the most popular, open-source service bus for .NET. Used in production since 2006, NServiceBus is now used in hundreds of companies in finance, healthcare, retail, SaaS, web 2.0, and more. From basic one-way messaging, through publish/subscribe; providing solutions from transactions to cross-machine scale out; this hands-on course will show you how simple distributed systems development can be.

Eric Evans Domain Driven Design Hands-On Immersion Workshop

This 4-day Domain Driven Design Workshop -- delivered by DDD expert Alberto Brandolini -- will show you how to put the domain model to work. Finding and exploiting domain models is key to success with large software systems. By cultivating a strong connection between the language used by developers, appropriate models can dramatically accelerate the process of translating customer needs into working software. Strong domain modeling coupled with programming best practices such as exploiting design patterns, refactoring, and test-driven development result in a principled yet practical approach to the development of large software systems. Come and learn how to strike a healthy balance between digging into your subject matter and addressing technological issues. To find out more, please go here

Simon Brown's software architecture for developers

This course is about broadening your software development skills and has been designed to take full advantage of the technical knowledge that you already have. Simon Brown's software architecture development course will make you more 'architecturally aware', and will help you to build better software. It's about pragmatic and real-world software architecture rather than academic "ivory tower" software architecture and is presented by Simon Brown. To find out more, please go here
