hi Luca,

Thank you so much for such a compelling demo of F#. You really made some lights come on for me with your "X = X + 1" slide.

Excellent presentation, thank you very much!

Covers the biggest problem I've been having so far, which is "how do I take it beyond using F# as a fancy calculator" :-)

Great presentation , it was fun filled and with much information , most times i dont see both together.

What makes F# so cool , i mean we already have functional programming languages, is it the support for IDE and support for using other .net language classes/methods seamlessly ?

Yes, but there is more.

All functional languages are enjoyining a renaisance of sort (Erlang anyone?). A strong reason is the multicore revolution that is upon us. Functional languages, with their lack of side effects, are good for parallelization.

Also, with LINQ we brought functional concepts in a mainstream programming language. We made them a bit more familiar to people.

When you put all these things together you get a lollapalooza effect.

Would it make sense to have dynamic prototyping in F# like in IronPython? The ability to add behaviour on the fly to objects can be powerful when creating a DSL using F#

It is an interesting feature, but difficult to reconcile with the static type nature of F#

SVC CodeCamp F# Talk

Tim Ng — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:33:16 GMT

Over the weekend, I had a chance to go to the SVC codecamp and give a couple talks. Codecamp was fun,

Very enlightening introduction to F#. I'll be grabbing that first book to learn more about the language.

I actually heard about your talk from a friend. I was telling him about my end-of-semester project, which is to take CSV files from Yahoo Finance and create a genetic algorithm to test parameter sets for technical stock indicators.

Your code is a great start for my project!

Great presentation, but "F# for Vizualisation" is unavailable (for free) now. :(

re: My F# PDC presentation is online (+ ppt and demo application)

Jon Harrop — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:22:00 GMT

@Dimchansky

Although we succeeded in giving away $20,000 worth of software with our free editions in only 2 weeks, our actual sales disappeared so we took the free editions down. However, we do intend to introduce more restricted free editions again in the future and I shall make sure these are sufficient to run Luca's demo.

Many thanks,

Jon Harrop.
