Ask HN: Good resources for beginning with F#?
3 points| manuscreationis | 14 years ago
I'm choosing F# solely based on the fact that .NET has been my bread and butter for a while now, and I figure my familiarity with the IDE and platform as a whole would make it a good choice to begin learning functional programming. Also, I can just get-going with it quickly, as I have .NET and VS on just about every machine I own.
Once I've got the basics down and can begin to "think" in more functional terms, I plan on migrating to another functional language (suggestions welcome).
Although I understand some basic functional approaches (passing around functions as arguments, functions that return functions, lambda expressions), please go ahead and assume I need a "My First Functional Program" style set of advice.
Bonus points if the tutorials can actually demonstrate real world applications of what they're teaching, but that might be a bit much to expect from a "beginning" set of tutorials.
Thanks in advance!
