Progressive F# Tutorials 2012: Steffen Forkman on Accelerate your TDD cycle – Coding dojo with NaturalSpec and NCrunch
Accelerate your TDD cycle – Coding dojo with NaturalSpec and NCrunch
Test-Driven Development can give you a lot of benefits for your code but also needs a lot of practice. Come to this session and learn how to master TDD with F#, NaturalSpec and NCrunch.

NaturalSpec is a F# TDD framework which allows to express tests in a very intuitive way and NCrunch helps to execute these tests continuously on very key stroke. This gives a very fast feedback loop and helps to speed up your TDD coding.

After a short introduction of the tools we’ll try to solve a small coding problem together in a coding dojo. All skill levels are welcome and the session will give a lot of room to try out new ideas.

Progressive F# Tutorials NYC - May 2-3rd

Skills Matter's Progressive F# Tutorials' conference is returning to NYC on May 2-3rd, bringing together the leading experts in F#. The conference will open with a keynote by Don Syme (father of F#) followed by several 4-hour long hands-on tutorials by some of the top experts in the F# world, including Tomas Petricek, Richard Minerich and Adam Mlocek (StatFactory), Miguel de Icaza (Founder of GNOME and Mono projects) and others.

The conference will feature both a 'beginners' and an 'advanced' (meaty) track, so whether you are just getting started or are well up to speed with F#, you will be able to learn and share skills with some of the top people in the F# world (bring your laptop!)

Find more information about the conference, speakers and program here or follow #progfsharpnyc on twitter!

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
