Upcoming F# events - learn Suave, FsLab & more!

One of the myths about F# and functional programming is that it is only good for complex mathematics. This could not be further from truth and the Suave project enabled a lot of interesting use cases for F# on the web.

If you want to learn more, come to my hands-on F# workshop in New York! You'll learn about writing asynchronous composable web servers and services with F#, but also about more complex reactive web applications.

• The workshop is on June 23 in Jet.com offices in New York
• Register here or drop me an email for group booking or diversity discounts

FastTrack to F# is our acclaimed F# training that covers everything ranging from the F# syntax and essential functional ideas to more advanced F# concepts.

In just two days, we'll look at a number of practical F# applications in areas such as data anlytics, domain driven design, testing, asynchronous programming and concurrency.

• The course is at SkillsMatter in London on 30 June - 1 July
• Drop me an email to get 10% discount or for in-house trainings

If you are not close to London and New York, you can attend an online F# in finance training that we did together with QuantsHub. This is 6-lecture course that you can take over 6 months, or at your own pace.

The course starts from F# basics and focuses on topics relevant for financial computing with F# such as analyzing data with FsLab, building domain-specific languages and integrating F# with larger .NET systems.

• Register at QuantsHub for the self-paced or the 6-month version
• Drop me an email for in-house training requests

I'll be coming to NDC Oslo again, this time talking about some of the new technologies in FsLab, Ionide and MBrace. You'll see how F# lets you nicely scale the interactive and explorative programming style that makes it so powerful from small data you can process locally to Big Data computations in the cloud.

I'll talk about a fun project I did for New Year's eve, which tracks Happy New Year messages from all over the world on Twitter. The project was done using Suave and F# agents and it is a fun example of reactive and asynchronous web application. If you are interested in reactive programming and web, this talk is for you!

We are also planning an event at the F# meetup in Portland. This will be more hands-on and we will be looking at all the new web libraries and tools that are available for F#. Aside from the Suave web server, we will also look at Fable which is a new F# to JavaScript compiler that integrates nicely with the modern JS ecosystem.

While in New York, I will be also visiting the Haskell user group to talk about my work on coeffects. The details will appear on the meetup page soon. Coeffects are the topic of my PhD thesis - it is a theory of capturing context (say, physical context such as GPS sensors or printers) in programming languages. The formal model of coeffects uses comonads, so even though I'm not an active Haskell programmer, this sounds like a good fit for the Haskell meetup! In the meantime, check out my interactive web page on coeffects.
