Latest snapshot of the WebSharper repositories (Bitbucket and at GitHub) showcases some build automation I finally managed to get working. It starts from MSBuild that uses NuGet to pull dependencies, including build dependencies, and then jumps to FAKE - using the alpha pre-release FAKE version has solved some F# version problems I faced earlier. It builds a lot of code, creates an output NuGet package, and also creates several Visual Studio templates that it packages up into a VSIX extensibility package [...]

I am currently working on simplifying build configurations for a bunch of projects including WebSharper, IntelliFactory.Build, IntelliFactory.FastInvoke and eventually multiple WebSharper extensions. I am now using F# and FAKE when possible instead of MSBuild, and relying more heavily on the public NuGet repository. The good news is that abstracting things in F# and sharing common build logic in a library via NuGet really works well, and feels a lot more natural than MSBuild. Consider this Build.fsx file[...]

Announcing a small utility library for generating VisualStudio VSTemplate and VSIX packages.

The annual CUFP workshop is a place where people can see how others are using functional programming to solve real world problems; where practitioners meet and collaborate; where language designers and users can share ideas about the future of their favorite language; and where one can learn practical techniques and approaches for putting functional programming to work.

The first Windows 8 Application developed with WebSharper is about to go live on the Windows Store. This is a preview of the upcoming WebSharper WinJS binding.
