{"product_id":"9781430223900","title":"Beginning F#","description":"\u003cp\u003eFunctional programming is perhaps the next big wave in application development. As experienced developers know, functional programming makes its mark by allowing application builders to develop solutions to complicated programming situations cleanly and efficiently. A rich history of functional languages, including Erlang and OCaml, leads the way to F#, Microsoft's effort to bring the elegance and focus of functional programming into the world of managed code and .NET.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith \u003cem\u003eBeginning F#\u003c\/em\u003e, you have a companion that that will help you explore F# and functional programming in a .NET environment. This book is both a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the language and an incisive guide to using F# for real-world professional development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReviewed by Don Syme, the chief architect of F# at Microsoft Research, \u003cem\u003eBeginning F#\u003c\/em\u003e is a great foundation for exploring functional programming and its role in the future of application development.\u003c\/p\u003e What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eA deep familiarity with the tenets and advantages of functional programming. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to understand F#'s concise and elegant syntax. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to access the huge range of libraries and components that run on the .NET Framework. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to develop for real-world scenarios using functional programming and F#. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to develop realistic applications through a comprehensive tutorial-based approach. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eHow to learn imperative and concurrent programming techniques within the functional programming paradigm. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     F# is the future of programming (not just on .NET), and the future is now. If you are already familiar with functional programming, you'll find \u003cem\u003eBeginning F#\u003c\/em\u003e a great introduction to the language itself.
