This was a great read coming from a C# background: https://www.manning.com/books/real-world-functional-programming https://www.manning.com/books/real-world-functional-programm...

I've bought and worked through "Get programming with F#"[1] and liked it. It isn't finished yet (it's still in Manning's early access program), and it skips a lot of more in-depth topics, but it was good in helping me to get going without any previous experience in ML-style languages.

It's a really great resource for starting out with F# - Scott Wlaschin also has posted a few talks on specific subjects that he tackles with F#. I really liked his talk on "Railway oriented Programming", for example. It's also a good start to look at practical examples of monads :) [2]: https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/

I haven't found a good beginner F# book yet. If you're a .NET (C#) expert you might find the one from No Starch Press to be good.

I learned using The Book of F# by Dave Fancher[1]. I haven't read any other introductory books on F#, but I learned a lot from this one. [1]: https://nostarch.com/fsharp https://nostarch.com/fsharp

I liked this book - somewhat directed to using Suave (webserver), but provides the general purpose grounding and design while building towards a bigger project. http://products.tamizhvendan.in/fsharp-applied/ http://products.tamizhvendan.in/fsharp-applied/

If you are more hands on, you could look through the F# in minutes. A quick intro into the language. https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/fsharp/ https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/fsharp/
