Course Description
F# is a Microsoft .NET language that offers support for functional programming in addition to object-oriented and imperative programming. In this course, you'll learn how to use Access Control, Signature Files, and Assertions in F#, as well as how to use Strings, Collections, casting, and conversions. You'll also explore the use of Generics and data and then delve into working with asynchronous data-driven Apps with F#.
Learning Objectives
Access Control, Signature Files, Assertions
- start the course
- use access control specifiers in F# programs
- generate F# signature files to reference modules and namespaces for F# programs
- use assertions to test F# programs
Strings, Collections, and Conversions
- manipulate string values in F# programs
- use collections and work with data sequences in F#
- work with data arrays in F# including multidimensional and jagged arrays
- work with lists in F#
- work with datasets and maps in F#
- use conversion or casting to change type including collection types and objects in F#
- influence type inference by changing literals and using annotations in F#
- overload operators in F#
Patterns, Null, Options, Units of Measure
- create patterns and implement pattern matching expressions in F#
- use active patterns in pattern matching expressions in F#
- enable null values and use the option type in F# programs
- use units of measure including generic units of measure in F#
Generics and Records
- describe generics in F# and apply constraints to generic type parameters
- define records, contrast them with classes, and use records in F# programs
Querying Data
- use basic query expressions in F# programs
- use F# to filter, sort, group and aggregate data sets
- use expressions in F# to query multiple data sources
The Task Parallel Library
- recognize contrast threading and the TPL, and implement basic data and task parallelism in F#
Asynchronous and Message-based Programs
- implement asynchronous workflows in F#
- create an MVVM app with F#
- implement message-based programming in F#
- use computational expressions in F#
Data Visualization
- implement basic charts with F#
- implement dynamic charts with F#
Practice: Async Data-driven Apps with F#
- use asynchronous workflows in an MVVM F# application
