F#unctional Londoners Meetup Group:TickSpec – BDD for C# & F# & Writing concurrent applications using agents
TickSpec – BDD for C# & F# & Writing concurrent applications using agents
TickSpec is a lightweight Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) framework for C# and F#. Specify the behaviour of your system in plain text with the Gherkin business language. Then run and debug your text specifications from inside Visual Studio.
This talk will look at some lessons learned from some recent projects where BDD was applied. Plus some tips to get you started on constructing good specifications for both business analysts and testers, along with some developer tips for testing asynchronous applications.
In his talk Tomas will show us how to implement message passing concurrency in F# using agents (the MailboxProcessor type in F#). In this style of programming, we write an application as a group of agents that run in parallel and communicate by sending immutable messages to each other.
This removes the sharing of mutable state, making the application scalable and easier to understand. However, the required application structure is quite different. We’ll discuss several common patterns that you can use for structuring agent-based applications. For example, we’ll look how to implement pipeline processing and map-reduce pattern using agents.

Robert Pickering's Beginning F# Workshop Robert Pickering's Beginning F# Workshop is a two day course that will teach you all about F#, an exciting new language that has evolved from a Microsoft Research project into a first class citizen of Visual Studio 2010. You will discover how F# can be used to express programs concisely and efficiently; you’ll also learn how to start having fun with this enormously productive language. Find out more here
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
