F# Agents with Rachel Reese (and a lightning talk with Jack Fox)

Jack Fox: Linear Data Structures Lightning Talk

A quick look at composing functional linear data structures with example structures from FSharpx. Excerpts from a talk at Lambda Jam.

Rachel Reese: Concurrent Applications with F# Agents

To build today's responsive and scalable applications, developers need to start leveraging asynchronous programming methods. During this talk, we'll explore how developers can easily use the F# agent-based programming model, which is based upon the actor concurrency model first made popular in Erlang, to simply and quickly build concurrent applications.
