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:

    Progressive F# Tutorials 2012 (Nov 1-2)

    The Progressive F# Tutorials brings together the leading experts in F# to deliver a range of talks, 4 hour intensive hands-on tutorials and discussions. We are working with Phil Trelford to bring you a range of expert led talks and hands on sessions- We can already announce that the creator of the F# language, Dom Syme, we be joining us!

    See who else will be presenting at this year's Progressive F# Tutorials here!

    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..

    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.
