F# Hands-On: Fractal Forest Dojo

In this session, we'll have some fun, dig into some recursion and fractals, and create beautiful (one can hope...) tree drawings, along the lines of this one:

This session will be organized as a dojo / interactive workshop. Come over, write some code together, and learn yourself some F# for great good! No prior experience required, F# beginners are very welcome - it will be a great opportunity to see F# in action, learn together, and see why F# is awesome.

To get the most from the session, please try and bring a laptop along with F# installed (ideally either MonoDevelop or Visual Studio Web Express/Full Edition). Check out fsharp.org (http://fsharp.org/) for instructions on how to get F# ready on your machine.

Courtesy of our awesome sponsor ThoughtWorks, we'll have some food & drinks available.
