<DIV><DIV>Programming F# is a classic O'Reilly tutorial that teaches .NET developers how to program using the new F# language. F# is a general purpose .NET language like C# or Visual Basic, but unlike those languages it supports functional programming, a programming style especially suited to concurrent and math intensive applications. Author Chris Smith teaches readers not only the fundamentals of the F# language, from primitive types to tuples and pipes, but also how to use it to do functional programming on the .NET platform. Additional chapters are devoted to object-oriented and "language-oriented" programming, the use of reflection and the packaging and distribution of F# code.</DIV>
