Introduction to F# You can click on the Danish page and then have it Google translated to Spanish. The Google translation is not flawless, I found some errors in it. F# is for the .NET platform, and it seems more simple than C#. Even a lot of the C# code is generated automatically when you use e.g. Visual Studio as your tool. There is more about F# here: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Articles/ArticleListing.aspx?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=206 As you can read in this article, F# is not OOP, so if you have been taught in the OOP practice, it might be hard to change from that kind of mindset.

Introduction to F# I'll stick with C# until they release G#... ;)  It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

Introduction to F# If it's multiple choice I could make it very interesting. me@rescam.org ID: 813585 · |

LISP is a recursive language. To iterate is human to recurse is divine. This is why you need eternity to do calculations in LISP (try the Ackermann function). Tullio ID: 813630 · |
