08/07/07--11:10: NEW POST: Technically, F# is Managed Code ! / ? (chan 1247387)

Technically, mentioning, can i consider the F# language as Managed code? If so, can some one help me to understand, how F# is different from the other languages that spit out the Managed code.

I sound stupid by asking like this, but i feel stupid untill to get clarification. Help me to understand F# and the potential of F#.

Regards,
Chakravarthy

PS: I forgot to mention my thanks for reading this post. Not finally, a big THANKS

Hi Chakravarthy,

F# creates managed assemblies that reference mscorlib as well as fslib (which is the assembly that holds some F# specific stuff).

HTH.

Any chance of having the projects support VS2005 rather than only the beta VS2008 enviornment? It should be an easy thing for the beta users to upgrade the solution/project files, but a difficult thing for those of us on VS2005 to back-port and rather hard for us to contribute code.

Thanks!

Hi, yes, this is a good idea.
I added solution files for VS 2005.

Great Indian Developer Summit 2010 – Biggest Event in Asia for IT Professionals

Bangalore, January 15, 2010: Over 6500 attendees have benefited from two game changing editions of Great Indian Developer Summit. In 2010, the biggest independent summit for software developers in India is bringing together over 100 sessions encompassing the full range of Microsoft computing, Java, Agile, RIA, Rich Web, open source/standards, languages, frameworks and platforms, practical tutorials that deep dive into technical skill and best practices, inspirational keynote presentations, an Expo Hall featuring dozens of the latest projects and products activities, Awards to honor software excellence, engaging networking events, and over 80 of the best and brightest of speakers from around the world. The summit will be held 20-23 April 2010 at the IISc in Bangalore (http://www.developersummit.com).

Dr. Venkat Subramaniam, a Great Indian Developer Summit Alumni, is coming back this summer to the summit to conduct focused conference sessions, a keynote and a workshop on topics ranging from .NET, Java, Groovy, functional programming to pointy haired bosses and pragmatic programmers.

On 20th April, at GIDS dot NET Conference, he will delve into what the functional style of programming offers and how you can utilize that using the F# language on the .NET CLR. He will move on to discuss pragmatic ways to deal with dependencies, and how, using mocks, effectively carryout unit tests; the focused session will also cover reasons to use mock vs. not using them, hand tossing mocks, and using frameworks to create them.

At the GIDS Java Conference on 21st April, Venkat will conduct a Jeopardy style presentation, where attendees will drive the topics to discuss various features of Java that require extra care and caution in everyday programming. We will pick a sample code, identify the problems in it, and figure out how to do it right. Later in the day you can attend a session on how to use patterns in Groovy and go beyond the GOF patterns in Groovy and Java. Venkat's next talk will take a deep dive into Generics, introduced in the 1.5 version (Java 5).

Venkat's keynote will address the fact that corporate developers have to constantly contend with fallacies often delivered to them as facts. However, each of us has a professional responsibility to be objective and make decisions that will help us and our teams be productive and deliver results. His talk will pick on some fallacies, lay down facts, and discuss how to stay professional and objective in our daily efforts.

On 23rd April, at the full-day GIDS Workshops, Dr. Subramaniam conducts hands-on training about functional programming -- take some familiar problems, solve it using traditional style and then refactor it to functional style. Although the training will use Scala and Erlang as vehicle to get the examples working, you don't have to be familiar with the syntax. You will participate to write pseudo code in these styles and the speaker will help you translate those into practical working examples in these languages.

More over, you can interact with Venkat at the summit to gain from his significant experience in architecture, design, and development of software applications, and in having  mentored thousands of software developers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Overall seats are limited, so register early for the conference's focused sessions and workshops here: http://www.developersummit.com/registration.html.

Hi. When I tried to open the Basics solution, it would not open in VS 2008, with an error message that the projects type .fsharpp is not supported in this type of application. Same deal with VS 2010. What am I missing? I downloaded changeset 31169.
