Book Description
F# is a powerful language that allows you to switch from object-oriented programming to a functional programming language and handle large data manipulations with ease.
With this cookbook, you will learn what makes F# a great choice for data analysis and how to leverage its key features in your day-to-day projects. We provide a wide variety of recipes that will empower you to begin using functional code with confidence.
With this book, you will learn to build microservices with F# that is better than the many monolithic architecture. We will explore asynchronous and reactive programming, enabling you to handle complex systems easily. We will also explore various security measures and show you how to write secure programs and develop sturdy applications in F#.
You will learn how to design and specify your build process using the same language you use to write code.
