I thought I might share. Shamefully, I personally have still been too flat out to use it myself,...

We'll take samples from F# and show that some higher order functions already exist in the base class libraries and you can use them today without having to reinvent any wheels.

A brief introduction to the F# programming language that will be the next one to integrate Microsoft Visual Studio. From the point of view of a C# programmer there's a lot you must learn to master the new concepts related to this powerful functional programming language. See where to download the F...

For the past several months, I've been using F# to solve at least two Project Euler problems each week. I find this is a great way to sharpen my math skills and my F# skills simultaneously. If you're looking for a way to flex your programming muscles, you really should check out Project Euler.

The new version of the F# Compiler was released May 1, 2008. Go download it now.
