Functional Programming eXchange 2011: Tomas Petricek on F# on the server-side
F# on the server-side
Server-side applications are interesting because they concurrently handle multiple requests in parallel. On systems where threads are expensive, it is important to do this without unnecessary blocking of system threads. In this talk, we'll look how to use F# synchronous workflows to implement a simple web server. Asynchronous workflows is a feature (based on the concept of monad) that make it possible to use all standard F# language constructs in an asynchronous computation that can be blocked and resumed without blocking actual physical thread. We'll also look how to use agent-based design in F# to implement safe concurrency and share state between clients without facing the usual shared memory concurrency issues. The combination of functional programming, asynchronous workflows and agent-based design leads to server-side applications that are not only efficient, but also easy to understand and fun to write.

Tomas Petricek’s and Phil Trelford’s Real-World 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
Tomas Petricek & Phil Trelford's Functional Programming in .NET 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
