Edge UG has teamed up with
UK TechDays to host a user group event at Microsoft's premier UK conference in 2010. This event will be held on
Tuesday April 13th at 19:30 in the
same Fulham Broadway venue as the main TechDays conference. So if you are attending the conference that day (and you'd be crazy not to) then why not stick around for another couple of hours and listen to Oliver Sturm (C# MVP) discuss Functional Programming on .Net. That said, attending the conference before hand
is not required.
Session Details:
F# is a new language in Visual Studio 2010, a hybrid that crosses over from the well-known object oriented .NET world into that of functional programming. It makes parallel programming easier, they say - and it does, in addition to all the other cool language structures it offers. But the idea of functional programming doesn't depend on the language alone, and good old C# can be used to implement many of the same ideas. In this presentation, Oliver gives an overview of functional aspects in both languages, explaining F# as he goes along and conjuring up much mind-bending syntax in C#. Don't miss it!
