This is a short post looking at how to solve the problem of using F# unfriendly libraries in an F# function composition pipeline. One of my colleagues asked a question about this and I thought it might be interesting to look at some of the options available to us to solve it.

I've recently been writing a new feature in one of our projects and I thought I'd take advantage of the new .NET support in GCP Cloud Functions. As the project I work on is fully F# based my cloud function was going to be written in F#.

Partial Function Application is one of the core functional programming concepts that everyone should understand as it is widely used in most F# codebases.In this post I will introduce you to the grace and power of partial application. We will start with tupled arguments that most devs will recognise and then move onto curried arguments that allow us to use partial application.

In this post we will start to learn how to use Computation Expressions, create our own simple one and look at a more complex example where we combine two effects together - Async and Result.

In this post, we discuss the difference between F# types and aliases that from a glance may appear to be the same thing.

In this post, Jonathan Channon, a newcomer to F#, discusses how he learnt about a slightly more advanced functional concept - Applicatives.

In this post we are going to look at adding validation to the code we worked on in Part 6. We will use active patterns that we looked at in the last post (Part 7) and we will see how you can easily model domain errors.

We just had a nice experience while maintaining one of the applications we created for our customer and we wanted to share this with you!

In this post we look at the practices we used and ask ourselves if we can make implicit practices explicit and extract a “blueprint” of our project and why it was successful.

In this post we will be extending our knowledge of Pattern Matching by looking at how we can write our own matchers with Active Patterns. There are a number of different Active Patterns available but we will be concentrating on Partial & Multi-Case.

In this post we will introduce the basics of reading and parsing external data using sequences and the Seq module and how we can isolate code that talks to external services to make our codebase as testable as possible.

In this blog post I want to summarize what team rules were defined for writing, reviewing and storing Architecture Decision Records and will discuss the implications of these rules and why I believe that these rules work as a tool to build empowered teams.

This is an entry for the F# Advent Calendar 2019.

In this post we will be building upon some of the concepts we have learned in previous posts whilst investigating functional collections.

In this post we will be building on the function composition concepts we worked through in the previous post and we'll be writing our first unit tests in F#. As an added bonus we will also start looking at how we can separate our code into discrete modules.

So far in this series we have covered a lot of the fundamental functional programming concepts. In this post we will investigate null handling and exceptions.
