Today in London: F# at UCL Algorithmic Trading Workshop

Today I'll be giving a 20 minute slot at the UCL Algorithmic Trading Workshop in London. Anyone can come along to the event, which may be of interest to people working in both industry and research.

(My talk won't be particularly focused on algorithmic trading, just a general quick F# taster)
