Why just get by in F# when you can program in style. This book goes
beyond syntax and into design. It provides F# developers with best
practices, guidance, and advice to write beautiful, maintainable, and
correct code. This second edition, fully updated for .NET 6 and F# 6,
includes all new coverage of anonymous records, the task {} computation
expression, and the relationship between types and modules.
Stylish F# 6 covers every design decision that a developer makes in
constructing F# programs, helping you make the most educated and
valuable design choices at every stage of code development. You will
learn about the design of types and function signatures, the benefits of
immutability, and the uses of partial function application. You will
understand best practices for writing APIs to be used by F#, C#, and
other languages. Each carefully vetted design choice is supported with
compelling examples, illustrations, and rationales.
What You Will Learn
- Know why, when, and how to code in immutable style
- Use collection functions, piping, and function composition to build
working software quickly
- Be aware of the techniques available to bring error handling into the
mainstream of program logic
- Optimize F# code for maximum performance
- Identify and implement opportunities to use function injection to
improve program design
- Appreciate the methods available to handle unknown data values
