Level Up Your Library Development

Building robust, high-quality software requires more than just hacking out some source code. You also have to manage sophisticated build processes. There's also versioning and dependency management. Plus packaging and deployment. Plus testing. And documentation. And bug tracking… The list goes on and on.

Fortunately for developers on the .NET (or Mono) platform, the F# community has developed comprehensive tooling to help master the minutiae of software development. In this fast-paced lightning talk, we'll briefly introduce a number of tools, currently used by many real-world projects, which help in the delivery of robust solutions. We'll see how to go from zero to professional-grade library in a matter of minutes.
