F# Hands-On Dojo: Classics Mash-up "Picasquez vs. Velasso"
Details
6:30 to 7:00 pm "n00b Presentation" - TBD
7:15 pm - 8:45 pm Main Session
What: 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.
We'll take classic paintings, manipulate images, and, why not, recombine them into mash-ups. What would happen if Velasquez painted with Picasso's color palette? Only one way to find out - come, and try it by yourself.
