It's a general-purpose language ideal for real-world development. F# seamlessly integrates functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming styles so you can flexibly and elegantly solve any programming problem. Whatever your background, you’ll find that F# is easy to learn, fun to use, and extraordinarily powerful. F# will change the way you think about–and go about–programming.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by F#'s inventor and two major contributors to its development, \u003cem\u003eExpert F# 2.0\u003c\/em\u003e is \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e authoritative, comprehensive, and in-depth guide to the language and its use. Designed to help others become experts, the first part of the book quickly yet carefully describes the F# language. The second part then shows how to use F# elegantly for a wide variety of practical programming tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe world's foremost experts in F# show you how to program in F# the way they do!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e What you’ll learn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eExplore F# and its features quickly and thoroughly in the introductory chapters \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUse F# with the newest .NET technologies such as WPF, LINQ, and ASP.NET AJAX \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBuild reactive, asynchronous, and distributed applications with F# \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInteroperate with F# from other .NET languages, especially C# \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTest, profile, and performance tune F# applications \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWork with real-life examples and advanced programming features \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     \u003cem\u003eExpert F# 2.0\u003c\/em\u003e is for anyone interested in state-of-the art .NET programming. Professional programmers will find it engrossing. F# provides invaluable insight into the future of both C# and VB, which are now adopting some (but far from all) of the functional features of F#. Once programmers learn F#, few feel like returning to either C# or VB. The academic community will find F# the answer to a decades-long prayer: a language suitable for teaching computer science that also excites and empowers students because it can be used not just in the classroom, but also in the real world.       \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eGetting Started with F# and NET \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCreating Your First F# Program—Introducing Functional Programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroducing Imperative Programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMastering Types and Generics \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWorking with Objects and Modules \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eEncapsulating and Packaging Your Code \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMastering F#: Common Techniques \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntroducing Language-Oriented Programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eUsing the F# and NET Libraries \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBuilding Graphical User Interfaces \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWorking with Symbolic Representations \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eReactive, Asynchronous, and Parallel Programming \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBuilding Smart Web Applications \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWorking with Data \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLexing and Parsing \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eInteroperating with C and COM \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDebugging and Testing F# Programs \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDesigning F# Libraries \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127483187440,"sku":"9781430224327","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430224327_p0.jpg?v=1763753233","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430224327","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
