Hands On FParsec with Phil Trelford

FParsec (http://www.quanttec.com/fparsec/) is a parser combinator library for F# that let's you quickly build a recursive-descent text parser.

This session will introduce parsing domain-specific and general purpose languages using FParsec. Along the way we'll also cover creating a simple Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) with discriminated unions, and interpreting or compiling the language using pattern matching.

To get the most from the session, please bring along a laptop with F# installed (http://fsharp.org/).
