Presentation

F♯ Training, covering versions 5.0 to 9.0 (2021-2024)

Slides

This git-book is here to supplement training sessions I've conducted using slides located in this repository:

Romain DENEAU

In detail :

Multi-paradigm language with a strong functional orientation
- Functional programming (FP) principles: immutability and composition
- Building blocks: functions and algebraic data types (ADT)
"Fun" ! Very pleasant to write and read
- Expressive and concise (not very verbose syntax)
- Sensitive to indentation → easy to read
- Strong static typing but it's almost seamless thanks to type inference
Language entreprise-friendly
- Runs on the .NET platform → high performance, easy interop with C# projects, .NET ecosystem and libraries
- Very good tooling: Visual Studio, VsCode, Rider
- Robust code: predictable and reproducible results (immutability, structural equality, no nulls, exhaustive pattern matching)
- Interactive programming: check code by evaluating it in the FSI console
- Narrowed community but strong and friendly
F♯ compared to other back-end functional languages
- Its syntax is not hybrid, unlike Scala and Kotlin (mixing OOP and FP)
- Easier to learn than Haskell or OCaml (but with fewer FP features, partially compensated for by OOP features)
- Static typing, unlike Closure (and far fewer brackets 😜)

📍 → concept addressed later, generally with the associated link

💥 → compilation error or runtime exception

🚀 → more advanced chapters

🍔 or 🎲 → Quiz

📜 → Summary

C# Developers - .NET SDK installed on your machine Notions in JavaScript/TypeScript can be helpful when we compare the languages

As a F# developer in a .NET team using only C#, feel free to use these materials (both git-book and slides) to train your team.

💡 The theme can be customized: it's "just" CSS and PNG files.
