Do HN users have any F# references, books, or guides they recommend? I've always been intrigued by F# but haven't found a good project / use case for it, but I suspect that's because I need to know more about it first.
- winkelwagen 8y agoI've really enjoyed https://www.manning.com/books/get-programming-with-f-sharp https://www.manning.com/books/get-programming-with-f-sharp Think it gives a good overview of the language and it's easy to read. Considering that after a day of working I'm not that sharp anymore it was a good read for me. Also mentioned in the article, but Scott Wlaschin book really show the strengths of the language. Most of his stuff is great actually, but his website (FSharp for fun and profit) is not the most coherent read, I love using it as reference. I also recommend his conference talks, it has quite a bit wide range of topics. https://pragprog.com/book/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-functional https://pragprog.com/book/swdddf/domain-modeling-made-functi... There are also few courses on pluralsight, but cannot remember which ones I really enjoyed.

- sparkie 8y agoI used Expert F# (2.0) when learning some years ago. A bit dated now, but I believe that it has had a more recent revision. It is co-authored by the language creator, Don Syme.
