My F# Journey – F# Learning Resources

Thinking about learning functional programming with F#?  Here is a list of F# learning resources that will help you on your own F# journey. Robert C. Martin – Functional Programming: What? Why? When? Why is functional programming becoming such a hot topic? Just what is functional programming anyway? And when am I going to have to know about it? In this talk Uncle Bob will walk you through the rationale that is driving the current push towards functional programming.

During my 15 year career that started in the late 90’s, I have not made very many conscious decisions about learning a specific language or technology.  The path I’ve taken and the experience I’ve gained seems like it just happened naturally. As someone always wanting to learn, I usually find some interesting topics and start going down the rabbit hole (Domain Driven Design, CQRS, Event Sourcing… thanks Greg Young), however I never usually set out on a “I’m going… Read More »My F# Journey – What I’ve learned so far
