Building Reactive Services using F# with Rachel Reese
Details
*** Please note the new location at Thoughtworks ***
This session will cover the many features of functional programming languages that make this way of thinking ideal for reactive service programming. Using F#, we'll briefly cover how immutable events are especially suited to modern applications, and then move on to examples of asynchronous workflows, MailboxProcessors, and delve into the Fsharp.Actor library to demonstrate scalable and resilient code.
