Download F# September CTP

F# September CTP is now available for download here. I have installed the CTP on a Virtual Machine which also has Visual Studio 2008 installed. This CTP also included Visual Studio project templates which can be used to create F# applications.

Hello F#

After installing F# I thought of doing the Hello World ritual to see what the code looks like. This code does not illustrate any features of a functional language, it is just as I said a hello!

#light

let message = "Hello F#"

open System

Console.WriteLine(message)

Console.ReadKey()

How do I learn F#?

Doing a quick search on Amazon returns three books on F#.

This post is also a good starting point for learning F#. I am looking forward to other parts on Chris Smith’s blog.
