F# is too often considered a niche language for mathematics, science, and other academic purposes. Many developers would like to use F# for business application development, but companies are reluctant to adopt the language. It's difficult to convince management that F# can bring more business value long term.
Mikhail has succeeded in convincing his organization to use F# everywhere. He has demonstrated success on both the backend and the frontend without actually having a team of F# developers.
In this session, he will share with you a case study of successful transition from common C# and JavaScript to the F# language. He will outline the technologies that were used, and the reasons why they were chosen. He will describe a journey of reimplementing an E-commerce project, including the goals that were defined, the team that was built, the obstacles that were faced, and the success that was achieved.
You will learn why Mikhail loves to say: "There is nothing impossible if you really want it!"
