F# is a Microsoft .NET language that offers support for functional programming in addition to object-oriented and imperative programming. This course introduce F#, describes the templates for creating F# programs and files in Visual Studio, and describes how to implement functional and object-oriented programming with F#. You'll also learn how to use conditional expressions, work with loops, and handle exceptions with F#.

Objectives

Introducing F# and Programming Functions start the course introduce F#, F# templates and F# interactive in Visual Studio, create a console app, and outline options for creating other types of F# applications work with functions in F# using let and do bindings use lambda expressions to define anonymous functions and closures in F# use recursive functions for numeric computing in F# Working with Functions use partial application in F# functions implement pipelining and function chaining implement lazy evaluation of expressions in F# handle exceptions in F# programs Functional Types and Mutability implement the tuple data type in F# programs contrast and work with discriminated unions and enums in F# programs use the unit type in F# programs use the mutable and ref keywords to manage mutability in F# programs Program Flow Control use conditional expressions in F# use for to, for in and for while loops in F# Object Oriented Programming in F# use classes including class constructors and properties as part of domain driven design in F# programs use methods in F# programs use events in F# programs use structures in F# programs use fields in classes and structures in F# programs Interfaces and Inheritance implement interfaces and use object expressions in F# programs implement inheritance in F# programs Static and Abstract Classes specify class constructors and members as static in F# programs implement abstract classes in F# Working with Methods use delegates in F# programs extend existing types with type extensions in F# Practice: Functions and Objects in F# Programs use F# to creating the functions required to generate a stacked calculator
