Literate_programming.With("F#")
In this session, long time F# enthusiast Tomas Petricek will talk about the F# tools for literate programming, including the F# Formatting library (which parses literate F# and Markdown), ProjectScaffold (a template for projects that lets you write literate documentation) and FsReveal (a tool for creating presentation using F#). You'll learn useful things about documenting your (not just F#) code and about writing understandable code and data analyses.
The idea of literate programming is to combine program code with explanation in a natural language, so that the entire source code can be read as an explanation of how the program is constructed and what it does. Literate programming is useful in a wide range of areas:
you can write literate scripts to document how a library works
you can use it to explain the logic behind complex calculations or mathematical models
you can use it to write data analysis that is executable and produces the final report
and as a bonus, you can use it to generate slides for your programming talks!
