One of the myths about F# and functional programming is that it is only good for complex mathematics. This could not be further from truth. A web server is essentially a function from a request to a response and so functional programming is a perfect fit for it.
In this one-day workshop, you'll learn all you need to get started with building web applications in F# using the Suave.io server. We'll start with an walkthrough that introduces the basic F# concepts and constructs and uses them to build a simple interactive web site. By the end of the workshop, you'll write a application that accesses multiple external data sources asynchronously, uses agent-based programming model and WebSockets to send data to the client and can be easily deployed to Azure or Heroku.
The event will take place at <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://tech.jet.com/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Jet.com</A> offices.Thanks to Jet for hosting us!
