IEEE Computer Society Webinar: Try F# for Big and Broad Data - Tuesday May 7

  • Article

 

Next Tuesday I'll be taking part in an IEEE Computer Society Webinar about Try F#. Please join us! Register here.

Date: Tuesday, May 7, 2013 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT / 19:00 GMT (Duration: 1 hour)

 

Try F# is an easy on-ramp to learning F#, a simple and pragmatic programming language combining functional, object-oriented and scripting programming. During the webinar you will learn how to use the tutorials to solve real-world scenarios, including analytical programming and information-rich programming encountered in finance and data science. At the end of the webinar you will be able to bring the web of data to your fingertips through type providers, write code in the browser and share it with the rest of the community.

    I saw this presentation live and it was outstanding.  I would like to show it to my class.  Is it posted somewhere?  If not - please consider posting it.  It's a great motivational video. Thanks.
