Focusing on design rather than just syntax, this book offers F# developers insights into writing elegant, maintainable, and correct code. The updated second edition covers best practices and includes new topics such as anonymous records, the task {} computation expression, and the interplay between types and modules, all tailored for .NET 6 and F# 6. It serves as a comprehensive guide for those looking to elevate their programming skills in F#.

Focusing on functional-first programming, this updated edition serves as an essential guide to F# version 4.0, highlighting its significance in modern application development. It offers a comprehensive introduction to the language while exploring its new features, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced programmers looking to deepen their understanding of F#.

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. Stylish F# 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'll 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 Understand asynchronous and parallel programming in F#, and how it differs from C# asynchronous programming Who This Book Is For Any developer who writes F# code and wants to write it better
