IntelliSense is the identifier auto-completion facility in Visual Studio.  As a developer, IntelliSense is critical to my productivity, as it allows me to easily work with thousands of functions from different namespaces and classes without having to constantly leave the editor to consult API documentation.  In this blog post, I’ll show how the improvements to F# IntelliSense in Visual Studio 11 Beta will make day-to-day programming with F# easier and more enjoyable, and how F# IntelliSense, coupled with t[...]

The recently announced Cloud Numerics library is a great fit for F# analytical computing. The Cloud Numerics team recently posted some examples of how to use this library in F#, and learn how to do distributed numerics on Azure with F#! As always, we welcome your feedback! Tell us what you think about the library and the experience of using it in F#.

Visual F#团队很高兴地宣布中国的CSDN博客正式成立，我们的目的是为了方便中国的程序员更早、更快、更多的了解F#，并从F#的实际应用中受益。 最初，F#是Don Syme博士在微软剑桥研究院的一个研究项目，它继承自OCaml和C#和Python和Haskell语言。它是一种函数式的、面向对象的.NET编程语言，使用户能够编写简单的代码来解决复杂的问题。很多用户反映使用Ｆ#后代码量减少到原来的四分之一，并且程序的错误率大大减少。 我们的工作主要是翻译一些F#专家的博客，制作一系列F#的教程，以及介绍F#独有的功能和新特性。现在专家博客翻译工作正在进行中，我们将首先翻译F#创始人——Visual F# Team and Don Syme的博客。在将要推出的F#教程中，我们秉着由浅入深，由简入繁的理念向大家一一介绍F#的各个功能。   欢迎大家关注我们的博客，以便了解F#的最新动态。如果您有什么意见和建议，请随时联系我们(fshcti@microsoft.com)！ 博客链接：http://blog.csdn.net/fsharp_net/article/list Jack Hu and Andrew X[...]

As announced at the Microsoft Research 20th Anniversary event in Cambridge UK, we have updated the F# 2.0 compiler source code drop to include changes related to the www.tryfsharp.org web application. The code drop is the compiler\2.0\Aug2011.1 directory in the F# PowerPack. These changes allow you to compile the F# compiler as a browser-hosted (Silverlight 4.0) component. This can then be hosted inside a browser application. This is in keeping with our stated aims for the F# compiler source code drop:  a [...]
