Introducing WebSharper 2.0 at LWSUG

Fri, 26 Nov 2010 18:08:48 GMT

Earlier this week I gave a talk at the first London WebSharper User Group meetup about WebSharper 2.0 and some of its new features such as sitelets and the new Visual Studio templates. This was a longer, class-like talk with many technical points discussed - a great source of information for anyone interested in WebSharper.

Announcing the London WebSharper User Group

We are thrilled to announce the London WebSharper User Group - a forum for WebSharper professionals and enthusiasts based in London, UK to exchange ideas and experiences, and to serve as a major hub for furthering the interest in functional web programing. We sincerely hope that it will add significant value to our WebSharper user community.

WebScheme

Scheme is remarkable language; it combines syntactic simplicity and elegance with exceptional expressiveness and power. Implementations of Scheme exist in many languages, and though I’m not the first who used F# for this solving task (shame on me) I still can be the first man who have made it with WebSharper.

Tutorial: Implementing a shopping cart with WebSharper

Thu, 30 Sep 2010 07:50:11 GMT

Last week I had a Community for F# talk on WebSharper where I presented a small WebSharper application to implement a client-based, persistent shopping cart, and I received numerous emails asking for the source code for that talk. So in this post I am going to show you the full source code and walk you through what I did to implement the shopping cart functionality. The code provided here should work on any existing 1.0.X installation, preferably on the latest 1.0.28 release.

CUFP 2010 - Call for Participation

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 06:35:54 GMT

Functional programming languages have been a hot topic of academic research for over 35 years, and have seen an ever larger practical impact in settings ranging from tech startups to financial firms to biomedical research labs. At the same time, a vigorous community of practically-minding functional programmers has come into existence. CUFP is designed to serve this community. The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work. CUFP 2010 will feature three hour Functional Programming tutorials given by language experts on the first day and Experience and Technical Talks on day two. Attendees may attend either or both days.

Call for Presentations - CUFP 2010

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:16:36 GMT

Functional programming languages have been a hot topic of academic research for over 35 years, and are rapidly being adopted in diverse real-world settings ranging from from tech startups to financial and biomedical firms. A vigorous community of practically-minding functional programmers has come into existence, using them as tools to build reliable and fast systems. CUFP is designed to serve this community. The aim is for CUFP to be a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work.

Call for Presentations - ML 2010

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:04:19 GMT

ML is a family of programming languages that includes dialects known as Standard ML, Objective Caml, and F#. The development of these languages has inspired a large amount of computer science research, both practical and theoretical. This workshop aims to provide a forum to encourage discussion and research on ML and related technology (higher-order, typed, or strict languages).

Parsing with active patterns

Sat, 23 May 2009 12:39:45 GMT

Active patterns provide the perfect mechanism to implement recursive-descent parsers - allowing you to quickly prototype even complex grammars using a statically typed approach and without the need to resort to lexer and parser generators.
