Welcome fsharpWorks & upcoming F# events
If you are following me or the #fsharp hashtag on Twitter, you might have already come across a link to fsharpWorks or one of the upcoming F# events organized by fsharpWorks. So, what is fsharpWorks and what are we planning for you?
Welcome fsharpWorks!
I have been doing a number of F# trainings, talks and occasional F# consulting over the last few years. During that time, I had the pleasure of collaborating with many great minds in the F# community, including Phil Trelford, Mathias Brandewinder and Scott Wlaschin.
At the same time, F# has seen an explosive growth in 2013, the number of successful industrial users is growing at a steady rate and there is a great number of interesting open-source projects! The demand for professional F# and functional-first trainings, consulting and other services is also growing. So, to satisfy these needs, we decided to join forces and form fsharpWorks!
What to expect from fsharpWorks?
-
At fsharpWorks, you can get a help from a team of F# experts who have years of experience solving real-world problems with F# in a range of areas & who also contribute to the core F# open-source projects.
-
We offer a range of F# trainings focused on functional-first programming, domain modelling, machine-learning as well as finance. This includes the F# FastTrack course with SkillsMatter and a number of new courses that will be announced soon.
-
We also provide in-house trainings based on your needs, consulting, support and other services with a guaranteed availability. If you need to grow a high-performing F# team, or start an F# project on the right foot, let us know!
-
Joining forces at fsharpWorks also makes it easier for us to speak at community events, conferences and to host affordable one day F# workshops. To see what is coming up soon, continue reading!
