Re: [PhillyOnRails] Meeting next Wednesday, May 21st


Sonofagun!  I would totally go to this if Philly ALT.NET wasn't doing their own meeting at Drexel the same night :-/  Been wanting to learn more about both those topics.  Was gonna send to this list, but I'm thinking you guys will be busy!


----------------------------------------------------------
Our next meeting is coming up, and should be a good one.  We welcome members of the Philly Lambda group to join the conversation about Functional Programming on the .NET framework with the new F# language.

Please RSVP to rsvp@phillyalt.net if you plan on attending.  Your RSVP enters you in the running to win prizes like a books, a Resharper license, and thanks to Dani Diaz at Microsoft, we have a copy each of Office 2007 and Vista to give away.

F# - What is all the Hype Around Functional Programming Languages?
A gentle introduction to functional programming in F#, a new first-class language in the .NET space.  We'll discuss high-order functions, partial functions, pattern matching and more.  Learn how you can use F# to express both functional and imperative programming paradigms with ease.
