In this talk, you will explore Freya and how its machine and router concepts make building a web service that can handle authentication, caching constructs, and more without requiring you to become fluent in the HTTP RFCs. You will also discover how Hopac can accelerate Freya, enabling it to handle large numbers of requests simultaneously, resulting in better throughput and efficiency. |
Along the way, you will learn how best to run tests in Visual Studio (using NCrunch). You will explore Canopy, a glorious way to run automated Web UI tests. Packed with visual examples and live coding - plus a little gentle trolling of industry experts - this talk will transform your attitude to automated testing. |

In this talk, you will be exploring and walking down the bumpy road of trying to bring side-effect free code to F#. The journey started, in Ramon's case, a few years ago while working for an IT consultancy company where Ramon made: Delegate.Sandbox, a library providing a Computation Expression named SandboxBuilder, sandbox { return 42 }, which ensures that values returned from the computation are I/O side-effects safe. The library is built-on top of .NETs Partially Trusted Code Sandboxes. The path of exploration somehow stalled. Now with new ideas under the hood and great tooling provided by Microsoft and the amazing F# Community, the journey continues towards bringing this missed feature to an already brilliant and loved programming language, that is used by thousands in the magnitude of 4. Hopefully one day, the reserved keyword: "pure" (The Holy Grail of F# keywords) will be claimed, and we will be able to use it with ease as we do with other keywords such as: seq, async, query, lazy and so on.

The basic infrastructure lies in an open-source project called XamarinForms.Reactive.FSharp, and there is an example of a Xamarin Forms project built on this infrastructure. This will be an interactive session, in which you will discover the architecture of XamarinForms.Reactive.FSharp, and apply it to building a Xamarin Forms app in real time. |

Datatype generic programming refers to an assortment of techniques, libraries and language extensions used for defining programs that are parameterized by datatypes, or rather by shapes of datatypes. In this talk, you will explore TypeShape, a small library for generic programming with emphasis on practical application and extensibility. TypeShape takes advantage of F# active patterns and object expressions to concisely define extensive, generic programs. It is already being used in real-world libraries such as FsPickler and FSharp.AWS.DynamoDB.

About the speaker...
Michael NewtonHe blogs at blog.mavnn.co.uk, including tutorials, thoughts on software design, and write ups of many of the training sessions. He has not, unfortunately written any of the Mack Bolen the Executioner books, nor is he (fortunately) an expert in past life therapy. On the other hand, he is known to have a few interests outside of coding, including introducing his young son to the fine art of table top role playing and driving the sound desk at the local church. |
During this session, you will explore a review of FsCheck, a powerful library for doing property-based testing and sophisticated data generation in the CLR ecosystem. In addition to the basic features of the library, you will learn about identifying common invariant patterns and building specifications from collections of properties. Time will also be spent exploring how FsCheck can be used to refine domain models and integrate with other popular testing tools. Finally, real-world examples will highlight both the strengths and weakness of this approach to software craftsmanship. While no prior knowledge is assumed, familiarity with the CLR (.NET or Mono) will be helpful. |

In this talk, you will discover an entirely immutable F# implementation of a virtual machine, Infocom's legendary 1979 Z-Machine. A stroke of brilliance in a fast emerging new computer game scene, the Z-Machine was one of the first successful commercial applications of a virtual machine and rightfully took a spot as one of the big landmarks of computer game history. In today's even faster moving world of technology and languages, you can still learn a few lessons from this dusty, mostly forgotten relic. Modern computing lingo would perhaps call the Z-Machine a "domain specific computer"™. A similar concept is still used today in large game engines, though this style of computing is mostly unknown and unfamiliar. Perhaps inspiration can be drawn from such a paradigm? At any rate, the idea of an immutable computer is completely ridiculous - or is it? The author categorically denies that any squirrels and / or type providers were harmed during the development of this software and / or talk. |
No! Fable is an open source compiler that brings all the power of F# to the JS world: the functional paradigm, static typing with type inference, pattern matching, type providers and more. Together with a comprehensive library to handle collections, text and observables among others. Fable doesn't add any runtime overhead and generates clean JS code in conformance with new ES6 patterns, like modules or iterables, making it compatible with modern development tools, including Github Electron or React Native to let you develop not only web, but also cross platform desktop and mobile apps. In its short life Fable already has several projects in production like the amazing thegamma.net, and is very close to 1.0 release. In this talk you will learn about the coolest and newest features of Fable and the vast number of possibilities it opens for F# developers. |

About the speaker...
Don SymeDon Syme is a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, Cambridge. He works with researchers, Microsoft and open source communities to make better programming technologies, and, through that, make people more productive and happier. His main responsibility is the design and implementation of the F# programming language and he contributes to its tooling and community. Don is the primary author of Expert F#. He has also worked on the design of virtual machines, the C# language (being co-responsible for C# and .NET generics, and one of many contributors to C# asynchronous programming) and, indirectly, Visual Basic and other .NET languages. Don't main research area is programming language design and implementation, with emphasis on making languages that are simpler to use, interoperate well with other languages and which incorporate aspects of object-oriented, asynchronous and parallel programming. He is interested in programming language perspectives on type inference, concurrency, reactivity, extensible pattern matching and language-oriented programming. He also work extensively with teams in the Microsoft Developer Division on other programming-related technologies. In the past Don has worked in formal specification, interactive proof, automated verification and proof description languages. He has a PhD from the University of Cambridge and is a member of the WG2.8 working group on functional programming. |

KEYNOTE
In this talk, you will explore an example of using property-based tests in F# to detect bit errors caused by "sticky-bits" in hardware. You will learn more specific types which will make the nature of the hardware error more apparent. With these more targeted types, you will then discover how custom shrink operations can quickly identify the exact error. With the test framework in place, you will learn how to use it to identify other non-sticky-bit hardware errors. Dale used to do chip design, including an ECC SDRAM controller, where he encountered sticky-bit issues in real life. He then worked as a Linux kernel programmer and often lamented the difficulty in testing kernel code. As Dale has moved up the abstraction ladder and now works primarily in FP, he thought it would be nice to blend all of these together. Hopefully it might inspire you and more to leverage higher-level techniques when dealing with low-level projects. |

The idea for this project originated from writing a DSL for CSS in F#; Fahd wanted to have constraint on certain properties but at compile-time. This endeavour was inspired by a project, which had, to Fahd, a limitation related to having constraint at run-time. The project is quite new and can be found in this repository. |

In this talk, you will explore ZeroMQ, a collection of exactly the sort of tools you will need to build robust distributed systems. In particular, you will discover the fundamental, language-agnostic concepts needed to scale out from threads to processes to machines. Several examples will demonstrate these concepts using two small open source libraries. Time will also be spent discussing related topics like: reliability, serialization, and community support. No prior knowledge is assumed, though familiarity with F# will certainly be helpful. |
