F# on the server-side
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Asynchronous workflows is a feature (based on the concept of monad) that make it possible to use all standard F# language constructs in an asynchronous computation that can be blocked and resumed without blocking actual physical thread. We'll also look how to use agent-based design in F# to implement safe concurrency and share state between clients without facing the usual shared memory concurrency issues. The combination of functional programming, asynchronous workflows and agent-based design leads to server-side applications that are not only efficient, but also easy to understand and fun to write.
