Progressive F# Tutorials 2012: on ProgFSharp Parkbench Panel Discussion
ProgFSharp Parkbench Panel Discussion
Whilst enjoying some pizza & drinks, we'll hold a ParkBench Panel discussion, to discuss ideas, stuff we learned during the morning and stuff we would like to hear more about. You will not only be able to ask your questions, but are also actively encouraged to join the panel to express your opinion and share your experience!

Tweet your questions & topics to #progfsharp
Throughout the conference, you will be able to post questions, thoughts and opinions on the Parkbench Wall as well as on Twitter #progfsharp

Park Bench Panel Discussion – The concept
A Park Bench Panel discussion has in common with a normal panel discussion that it provides a good way for experts to spend some time answering direct questions from the audience. The audience gets to know the experts in a way that is only possible in person and the expert gets a little more exposure to the questions among the audience.

A Park Bench Panel discussion provides something more.

During a Park Bench Panel Discussion, everyone in the audience can join the panel. Four chairs are provided for each Park Bench Panel Discussion. At the start of the discussion, three chairs are taken by the three expert speakers of the last few hours. One chair is left open. The Park Bench Panel Discussion Leader will introduce some basic rules for the session. The first rule is that anyone in the audience can join the panel, taking the empty chair available. As soon as the empty chair is taken by someone in the audience, one of the current complement of panelists will have to vacate their chair so that there is always exactly one empty chair.

The audience can ask questions, whilst remaining seated in the audience, but anyone who wishes to express an opinion, will have to stand up, join the panel, by taking the empty chair.
The Park Bench Panel Discussion Leader will ensure people adopt the method and that noone on the panel overstays their due time.
One is welcome to rejoin the panel should they find renewed interest in the conversation.

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!)

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
