Title: F# - A Functional Programming Language within the .NET Framework

Abstract

In this presentation I will give an overview of a new ‘functional’ language, designed by Microsoft: F#.

F# is designed as a first-class citizen for the .NET framework, which means that it easily can communicate with other .NET languages and access .NET libraries.

In will take a look at the differences with OCaml, how the integration of F# is with Visual Studio and how you can access F# from other .NET languages and vice-versa.
