Functional Programming in F#

Overview

Dive into a comprehensive lecture series on functional programming using F# from the University of Tromsø's Department of Computer Science. Explore the historical perspective, complexity, and core concepts of functional programming. Learn about functions, lambda expressions, types, and type systems in F#. Master algebraic data types, pattern matching, active patterns, and recursion. Discover collection types, mutable state, and exceptions. Delve into object-oriented programming concepts within F#, including classes, inheritance, interfaces, and objects. Examine advanced topics such as functors, applicative functors, monads, computation expressions, monoids, and traversables. Investigate practical applications with the Reader monad, Continuation-Passing Style, asynchronous computations, and the actor model. Develop web applications using F# with Fable, Feliz, and Giraffe. Explore database integration, REST APIs, testing methodologies, and DevOps practices with F# and GitHub Actions.
