really boring

[Brian]

A nice book on the language. Though it does start out introductory, reviewing the major features of the language and supported programming paradigms (functional, oo/imperative, "language oriented"), it quickly ramps up into some extended interesting examples in various domains, and the "Expert" in the title is appropriate.

[Scott]

With multi-core processors, functional programming is quite beneficial. F# uses the .NET libraries for functional programming. I hope to continue my pursuit of this.

[Igor Plotnikov]

Good definitive guide to F#. Highly recommended.
