Progressive F# Tutorials: Chris Marinos on The F# Koans: An Interactive Way to Learn F# Through Testing
The F# Koans: An Interactive Way to Learn F# Through Testing
The F# koans will lead you on the path to F# enlightenment. Come with your laptop, an open mind, and willingness to learn. Leave with a better understanding of F#, functional programming, and test driven development. If you're new to F#, you'll learn the basics of the language and get your fingers working writing F# code right away. If you're an experienced F# developer, you'll sharpen your skills by solving problems and helping others in their journey towards F# mastery.

Based on Edge Case's fantastic Ruby Koans, the F# koans are a set of exercises (in the form of tests) designed to teach you the F# language. By the end of this session, you'll have a better understanding of both the syntax and the culture of F# programming.

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
