Tech Mesh London 2012 / How F# Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Data"

f#data

Please RSVP for instructions on how to join the event.

Description

The world of data speaks a different language than the world of programming languages. It uses REST, SQL database schema, XML, JSON while programming languages only understand types and classes. This causes big confusion when we try to access data from programming languages, especially from those with (otherwise very useful) static type systems. How can a programming language learn to understand data? In this talk, I'll show how this is done using type providers in F# 3.0. You'll see how integrating data into the programming language opens the possibilities for creating exciting applications. Talk objectives: Explain the mismatch between data and programming languages and show how this can be solved by an extensibility mechanism like F# type providers. Target audience: Anyone who writes software that works with data including programmers, architects, analysts and data scientists.

One of the key concepts of functional programming is compositionality – the fact that we can build complex software using several basic “building blocks” and just a few ways of combining them. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how we can teach this concept us...
