Progressive F# Tutorials - New York City 2012 / Being Successful with Functional-first Techniques in Finance

Please RSVP for instructions on how to join the event.

Description

With the advent of F# and other applied functional-first languages, we now regularly see people applying functional-first programming languages and techniques to quantitative finance, financial engineering, calculation engines and trading platforms. In this talk we’ll take a look at the business proposition for this class of language, taking a good look at the core value proposition of robust, efficient analytical programming . I’ll also give some anecdotal observations about what makes for successful adoption of these techniques in practice and some pitfalls to watch out for. I’ll look specifically at what we've been doing with F# 3.0, and how you can combine it with other technologies to form an ever more powerful tool for a wide range of applications in analytical programming.
