Rick Minerich's Development Wonderland

I will be speaking at tomorrow’s Code Camp Hartford 2 on the topic of using F# for the Testing and Analysis of existing code. This talk will be composed of much of the same material I used at Code Camp Waltham 11, although I will be preparing additional introductory material as many of my Waltham attendees had no prior exposure to F#. 

I hope the audience will find this new introduction short and sweet.  In this case my goal will not be to teach F# per se, instead I would like to impress upon the audience the power of using functional programming constructs.

Presentation Details

F# for Testing and Analytics will be held in Room E-Echo at 10:30am.

As I often like to make changes up to the last minute, this post will be updated with my slides after the presentation. Slides are now available here.

For more information, see my post on the Code Camp Waltham 11 Presentation.  I wrote quite extensively in that post on most of the things I will be discussing in this talk.
