Type Provider Treasure Hunt
A SkillsCast for this session is not available.
Type provides completely change the story by integrating data directly in the language. This makes it possible to access a wide range of data sources in a type-safe way with full IDE integration. In this session, we’ll look at type providers for CSV, XML and JSON files, accessing data from online stores like Freebase and WorldBank and calling REST based and WSDL based web services. As a bonus, we’ll have a quick look at FunScript, which makes it possible to compile to write single-page JavaScript apps using F# and just another type provider!
The session will be a mix of demos and interactive tasks. We’ll finish with a treasure hunt competition where you’ll have to find clues from 6 different data sources and combine them to find a secret phrase!
