FnuPlot: Cross-platform charting with gnuplot

There is a bunch of visualization and charting libraries for F#. Sadly, perhaps the most advanced one, F# Charting, does not work particularly well outside of Windows at the moment. There are also some work-in-progress libraries based on HTML like Foogle Charts and FsPlot, which are cross-platform, but not quite ready yet.

Before Christmas, I got a notification from GitHub about a pull request for a simple gnuplot wrapper that I wrote a long time ago (and which used to be carefully hidden on CodePlex).

The library is incomplete and I don't expect to dedicate too much time to maintaining it, but it works quite nicely for basic charts and so I though I'd add the ProjectScaffold structure, do a few tweaks and make it available as a modern F# project.

Why you should learn F# in 2015 (and how)?

I guess that it might be a bit too late for adding to your list of new year's resulution now. But just if you still have an empty slot (or in case an originally taken slot has become available), your new year's resolution should be to get involved with F#!

Obviously, the goal of this blog post is to sell you some of my F# trainings and other materials - including the online course on F# in Finance and our FastTrack to F# course in London and New York and also the F# Deep Dives book. But to conceal this fact, I'm going to fill most of the blog post with useful information about F#, the F# Software Foundation and the F# community (but if you really just want to read about my courses, scroll down to the second section).
