FPish: leveraging F# and WebSharper in a large-scale web application
Loïc Denuzière
Interested in functional programming almost since he started programming, Loïc Denuzière has dabbled in F#, OCaml, Haskell, Common Lisp and many others. Loïc currently divides his time between working on the WebSharper ecosystem and using it for various projects at IntelliFactory.
Clojure and Incanter for the Professional Programmer
Bruce Durling
Bruce is the co-founder and active leader of several Clojure and Java related communities and contributes to many meetups, community gatherings and courses at Skills Matter.
SilkApp: A Case Study in Creating Rich Internet Apps in Haskell
Erik Hesselink
Erik currently works at Silk, where he uses functional programming to build a web application to create and visualize structured data. After his physics and chemistry masters, Erik started working at a small software company building CMS and websites. Wanting to deepen his knowledge of the field, he embarked on a software technology master at Utrecht University. Many courses used Haskell, and he immediately fell in love with the elegance of functional programming. After graduating, he joined what is now Silk.
Haskell for embedded domain-specific languages
Andres Löh
Andres Löh is a Haskell consultant and co-owner of Well-Typed LLP. He is based in Regensburg, Germany. He started using Haskell in 1997, when being an undergraduate student of mathematics in Konstanz and has been an enthusiastic functional programmer ever since. Andres obtained a PhD in Computer Science from Utrecht University in 2004, on extending the Haskell language with capabilities for datatype-generic programming. After having been a university lecturer for several years, he joined Well-Typed in 2010.

Haskell for embedded domain-specific languages
Featuring Andres Löh
A domain-specific language (DSL) is a usually small language for a dedicated domain with its own unique appearance and rules for composition. Haskell has a very flexible syntax, and offers higher-order functions. Therefore, we can often mimic the visual style of a particular domain directly...

F#'s Type Providers In Depth
Featuring Tomas Petricek
The purpose of most of the real-world applications is to process data that are available in external data sources such as databases and XML files or obtained using a web service or REST API. Accessing such data sources in a typed way is difficult, because the compiler does not understand the...
