Interesting to see F# pushed so hard in this. I've dabbled in the language in the past and was just recently thinking about giving it another go, this might be a good impetus to push that up the priority list.
Out of curiosity what are people who've learned f# recently's recommended set of tutorials? The fsharp.org stuff, a book, or somewhere else?
- solutionyogi 11y agoAs a free resource, I would highly recommend http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ If you know C# well, this article should definitely open your eyes about what F# brings to the table: http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/is-your-language-unreasonable/ http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/is-your-language-unre...
- sremani 11y agoThese are the resources I am using 1a. fsharpforfunandprofit.com 1b. pluralsight 2. www.hackerrank.com (functional programming section - excercises) 3. There are lot of good books, Real World Functional Programming F# Deep Dives Learning F# Functional Data Structures and Algorithms honestly, you cannot wrong with any of the books in F#, they are very likely to be good.
- runevault 11y agoThanks for the reply. I actually have an old O'reilly f# book but it was for either 1.0 or 2.0 and would be nice to have something slightly more recent. Deep Dives was on my radar but hadn't looked too closely at it yet as that smells like a good Second resource once I'm comfortable. Will have to look through these later.
- dgudkov 11y agoI found articles of Tomas Petriecek interesting and easy to understand.
- NumberByColors 11y agoAn old video, but still a fun one for getting an intro overview of the language: https://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/pdc2008/tl11 https://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/pdc2008/tl11
- jast 11y agoI wrote already some time ago a post about which books to read to learn F# (see http://jorgetavares.com/2015/01/01/reading-list-for-f-learning/ http://jorgetavares.com/2015/01/01/reading-list-for-f-learni...). In the meantime there are a couple more (e.g., Deep Dives) which are also good.
- IndianAstronaut 11y agoF# may be preferable because of the REPL unlike C#. No data scientist really wants to work with a language that doesn't have that.
