關於函數式編程(Functional Programming)的學習筆記Ⅱ—F#書籍介紹及下載地址

Beginning F#

Book Description
Functional programming is perhaps the next big wave in application development. As experienced developers know, functional programming makes its mark by allowing application builders to develop solutions to complicated programming situations cleanly and efficiently. A rich history of functional languages, including Erlang and OCaml, leads the way to F#, Microsoft’s effort to bring the elegance and focus of functional programming into the world of managed code and .NET.

With Beginning F#, you have a companion that that will help you explore F# and functional programming in a .NET environment. This book is both a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of the language and an incisive guide to using F# for real-world professional development.

Reviewed by Don Syme, the chief architect of F# at Microsoft Research, Beginning F# is a great foundation for exploring functional programming and its role in the future of application development.

函數式編程可能是應用程式開發的下一個浪潮，有經驗的開發人員都知道，函數式編程能夠讓開發人員以簡潔高效的形式來解決發雜的編程情形。函數式編程的前身，Erlang和OCaml為F#指引了道路，微軟把函數式編程的優雅和清晰帶到了.NET和Managed 程式碼的世界。

有了BeginningF#，有就有了一個協助你一起探索F#和.NET下函數式編程的夥伴。這本書不僅對F#語言進行了全方面的介紹，而且對真是世界的開發有深刻的指導意義。

Expert F# 2.0

Book Description
Expert F# 2.0 is about practical programming in a beautiful language that puts the power and elegance of functional programming into the hands of professional developers. In combination with .NET, F# achieves unrivaled levels of programmer productivity and program clarity.

Expert F# 2.0 is

• The authoritative guide to F# by the inventor of F# F#建立者的權威指導
• A comprehensive reference of F# concepts, syntax, and features F#概念，文法及特性的綜合實踐書籍
• A treasury of expert F# techniques for practical, real-world programming 專業F#技術實踐寶庫

F# isn’t just another functional programming language. It’s a general-purpose language ideal for real-world development. F# seamlessly integrates functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming styles so you can flexibly and elegantly solve any programming problem. Whatever your background, you’ll find that F# is easy to learn, fun to use, and extraordinarily powerful. F# will change the way you think about-and go about-programming.

Written by F#’s inventor and two major contributors to its development, Expert F# 2.0 is the authoritative, comprehensive, and in-depth guide to the language and its use. Designed to help others become experts, the first part of the book quickly yet carefully describes the F# language. The second part then shows how to use F# elegantly for a wide variety of practical programming tasks.

The world’s foremost experts in F# show you how to program in F# the way they do!

由F#的發明者及兩個重要貢獻者所編寫，是一本權威、綜合、深入的指導書。該書的對象是想成為這方面專家的開發人員。

What you’ll learn

• Explore F# and its features quickly and thoroughly in the introductory chapters 探索F#並介紹簡要的介紹它的特性
• Use F# with the newest .NET technologies such as WPF, LINQ, and ASP.NET AJAX 通過F#來使用微軟的最新技術，如WPF,LINQ,ASP.NET AJAX
• Build reactive, asynchronous, and distributed applications with F# 使用F#建立??無功??、非同步、分布式應用程式
• Interoperate with F# from other .NET languages, especially C# 與其他.NET語言的互動操作

Who is this book for?
Expert F# 2.0 is for anyone interested in state-of-the art .NET programming. Professional programmers will find it engrossing. F# provides invaluable insight into the future of both C# and VB, which are now adopting some (but far from all) of the functional features of F#. Once programmers learn F#, few feel like returning to either C# or VB. The academic community will find F# the answer to a decades-long prayer: a language suitable for teaching computer science that also excites and empowers students because it can be used not just in the classroom, but also in the real world.

Functional Programming for the Real World: With Examples in F# and C#

Book Description

Functional programming languages like F#, Erlang, and Scala are attracting attention as an efficient way to handle the new requirements for programming multi-processor and high-availability applications. Microsoft’s new F# is a true functional language and C# uses functional language features for LINQ and other recent advances.

Real World Functional Programming is a unique tutorial that explores the functional programming model through the F# and C# languages. The clearly presented ideas and examples teach readers how functional programming differs from other approaches. It explains how ideas look in F#-a functional language-as well as how they can be successfully used to solve programming problems in C#. Readers build on what they know about .NET and learn where a functional approach makes the most sense and how to apply it effectively in those cases.

The reader should have a good working knowledge of C#. No prior exposure to F# or functional programming is required.

About the Author
Tomas Petricek discovered functional programming as a graduate student at Charles University in Prague. He has been a Microsoft C# MVP since 2004 and is one of the most active members in the F# community. In addition to his work with F#, he has been using C# 3.0 in a functional way since the early previews in 2005. He interned with the F# team at Microsoft Research, and he has developed a client/server web framework for F# called F# WebTools. His articles on functional programming in .NET and various other topics can be found at his web site tomasp.net.
