Na maanden voorbereiding is het eindelijk zover. Ik ga een workshop over F# houden in den Haag op 17 maart aanstaande, bij Delta-N.  Deze workshop is voornamelijk bedoeld voor mensen die al enige programmeerervaring hebben. Een nieuwe programmeertaal leren is een flinke investering.  In deze workshop gaan we in hoog tempo door de basisvaardigheden heen, die je nodig hebt om met F# aan de slag te gaan. Hierbij laten we laten we de deelnemers vooral veel zelf doen, want daar leer je het [...]

In this post, we are going to test the escaped concact/split functions that we implemented last time. Along the way, it will become apparent why F# is an ideal language for writing .NET unit tests. These are the signatures of the two F# functions to be tested: val concatEscape : esc:char -> sep:string -> strings:seq<string> -> string val splitUnescape : esc:char -> sep:string -> string:string -> seq<string> Seen from C# (e.g., in Visual Studio's object browser), the signatures would look li[...]
