With the help of Rick Minerich we put together a super exciting programme, featuring both an advanced track and a track for beginners. Alongside Don Syme the designer and architect of F#, the conference features Tomas Petricek, Phil Trelford, and Miguel de Icaza!
Beginners Track
Having some trouble getting a handle on F# or just functional programming in general? Work through our beginner track and start from the basics. You can be confident that after two days of full time functional immersion you'll have some seriously improved skills. No prior F# experience is required whatsoever.
Meaty Track
Wishing for more meaty F# content? Our advanced track will dive deep into F# features, explore how to solve difficult problems using functional programming, and perhaps even glimpse the nature of functional programming itself. This is a rare opportunity to push yourself and learn deeply about the language you've already come to love.

The F# Koans: An Interactive Way to Learn F# Through Testing
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.
The tutorial is located at https://github.com/chrismarinos/FSharpKoans
Chris Marinos
Chris Marinos is a software consultant/geek hailing from Ann Arbor, MI. He is also a C(F)# MVP, F#/functional programming enthusiast, (ab)user of LINQ, speaker, code/language guy, video game connoisseur, and tv buff.
Graph Man Contest
You'll be competing against your track-mates in a graph-based version of the classic Pac-Man game with prizes for the highest scoring players. May the best Pac win!
Paul Blasucci
Paul Blasucci has spent the past 21 years blending a disparate array of languages, technologies, and methodologies into compelling solutions for a wide range of problems. He especially enjoys solving challenges in distributed computing and heterogeneous enterprise systems. He has been an active member of the F# community since 2007, and currently serves as treasurer of the F# Software Foundation. When not at the keyboard, Paul may be found globetrotting with his wife and children (though his soul is still catchin' waves at the Jersey Shore).
Richard Minerich
Richard Minerich is a Sr. Researcher at Bayard Rock. Functional Programmer. Co-author of Professional F# 2.0 and F# MVP. Loves Type Systems, Machine Learning and Physics.
Code Quotations: Code-as-Data for F#
During this session we'll work through several real-world examples to highlight the important features -- and potential pitfalls -- of Code Quotations.
Dmitry Mozorov
Dmitry is an experienced software engineer and F# enthusiast. He has been using F# successfully for the past 4 years in his everyday work to develop different kinds of enterprise software.
FCell: Numerical Development in Excel w/ F#
Using Fmat, an open source F# math library, we will implement simple numerical models in Excel. You will learn how to create Excel User Defined Functions in F# and how to access spreadsheet data in your F# scripts via Excel Type Provider for Named Ranges. Only Excel 2007 or later required.
Adam Mlocek
Adam is the founder of StatFactory Ltd, a company dedicated to development of high performance numerical software with F# API.
Tomas Petricek

Try F# from Zero to Data Science
We'll help you explore, generate, and just play around with code samples, as well as talk you through some of the key principles of F#. By the end of this session, you'll have gone from zero to data science in only a few hours!
Phil Trelford
Phil is an active member of the software development community, regularly attending and speaking at user groups and conferences, blogging and contributing to open source projects. He is a co-organizer of the London F# User Group and a founding member of the F# Foundation.
Rachel Reese
Rachel Reese is a long-time software engineer and math geek who can often be found talking to random strangers about the joys of functional programming and F#. She currently handles training & evangelism for Jet.com in the NYC area, and has a habit of starting user groups: so far, in Hoboken, NJ (Pluralsight Study Group), Nashville, TN (@NashFSharp) and Burlington, VT (@VTFun).
Calling and extending the F# compiler
This session will be useful if you want to integrate F# in your favorite editor or if you want to write service F# snippets http://www.fssnip.net/ We’ll also talk about the key components of the F# compiler and how you would go about extending the F# language itself. Don will give you a developer overview of the compiler and Tomas talk about extending the F# computation syntax with experimental extensions like joinads
Tomas Petricek
Tomas is a computer scientist and open-source developer. He is a Visiting Researcher at the Alan Turing Institute working on tools for open data-driven storytelling. He wrote a popular book called "Real-World Functional Programming" and is a lead developer of several F# open-source libraries.
Keynote: F# in the Open Source World
F# now includes contributions that range from Cloud IDE platforms, Cloud Compute frameworks, Data interoperability components, Cross-platform execution, Try F#, MonoDevelop, and even Emacs editor integration with surprising tooling support, as well as the Visual F# tools from Microsoft and the broader NuGet package ecosystem.
Don will also talk about some of the latest contributions from Microsoft Research, including new type provider components for F#, and describe how his team work with the Visual F# team and other teams around Microsoft. There will also be demos of some fun new stuff that’s been going on with F# at MSR and the community.
