I’m back again with another edition of F# Discoveries this Week.  The most exciting announcement this week is the new F# August 2010 CTP which brings with it the ability to build your own VS2010 F# Express Edition with Visual Studio Shell and the prospect of building F# applications on Windows Phone 7.  Be sure to check out Daniel Mohl’s Windows Phone 7 template before getting started.
