Sweet :). I think some lesser animal should be getting trampled or gored... My favourite O'Reilly cover is still "Oh No! A Horrid Little Monkey..." (One here: http://www.something-random.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/ohno.jpg)

One question though, F# 1.0? Was that on purpose so you could limit the scope of what to cover?

The "F# 1.0" was just filler text, I'll actually try to cover a little bit more than that such as how to deploy applications and running F# on Mono.

Thanks!

Really glad to see this. Your blogs always have a nice clear application which scaled will make interesting chapters.

Another question though, will it be Learning F# (book cover) or Programming F#, since the contents have a different target audience.

Despite the image, the title will be "Programming F#". So it will assume the reader has more some programming experience and some familiarity with C#.

It's great to see another title on F# in the works Chris. Thanks! Don't hesitate to ping me for any review needs - I look forward to the book taking its place on my shelf.

Worth buying just because of the cover :D

Hi, slightly off topic but will you or anyone else from the F# team be at Tech Ed Barcelona this year? Great blog, keep up the good work.

Chris, how hard is it today to use F# for desktop applications? Is the subject touched at all within your book?

Thanks.

Hi,

will there be excerises?

Some will state that you don't need any because as a good programmer you know how to do you stuff - but ever tried learning lisp or prolog without good excersies?

And F# will be even worse because you can fall back to imperative programming ....
