Well, we are in the last hours of 2014, and I am nearly recovered from the craziness that was the F# Europa Tour 2014, so here we go – the Tour, in cold, hard facts (after all, I am a numbers’ guy): 40 days of travelling across Europe. 16 talks. 5 workshops (about 50 hours total). 9 countries. 6991 miles (11,250 kilometers) travelled, roughly (this is straight-line city to city, so the actual number is probably a good deal larger). 14 hours of bus. roughly 50 hours of train. roughl[...]

This post is December 20th' part of the English F# Advent #fsAdvent series; make sure to also check out the Japanese series, which also packs the awesome! As I was going around Paris the other day, I ended up in the Concorde metro station. Instead of the standard issue white tiles, this station is decorated with the French constitution, rendered as a mosaic of letters.

From time to time, I get absorbed by questions for no clear reason. This is one of these times – you have been warned. So here is the question: can I use a logistic map to encode an arbitrary list of 1s and 0s into a single float, and generate back the series by applying the logistic map? I don’t think there is a clear theoretical or practical interest in this question, but for some reason I couldn’t shake it off, and had to do it. Just to clarify a bit what I have in mind, here is the expression for the[...]

Well, last year’s F# tour was so much fun, I figured I would try to do it again, in Europe this time. I am becoming quite fond of F# tourism: after all, what better way to discover a place than going there and meeting locals who happen to have at least one common interest – and spread the F# love in the process? Anyways, if everything goes according to plan, I should be visiting F# communities in 7 different countries in 6 weeks :) As an aside, if you are running a meetup/user group that is somewhat on my[...]

If you have ever come across my blog before, it will probably come as no surprise if I tell you that I enjoy coding with F# tremendously. However, there is another reason why I enjoy F#, and that is the Community aspect. One thing we have been trying to do in San Francisco is to build a group that is inclusive, and focused on learning together. This is why we started the coding dojos a while back: one of our members mentioned that while he was convinced from talks that F# was a good language, presentatio[...]
