F# can be a powerful addition to the .Net developer's toolbox. Come find out what F# is all about, and when you should use it -- instead of, or in addition to, C# and other .Net technologies.

F#'s reputation is that it is great for finance, math, and data science, but F#’s “functional first” design is useful in web development, application integration, and enterprise software and that's what we'll cover in this presentation.
