The F# Beginner

I'm an experienced software engineer (employed as a software architect). I'm passionate about learning new languages and technologies. I've decided to learn F# as my next endeavor and I thought I'd blog about the experience. After all, there are plenty of tutorials available, but there aren't very many blogs that record the process of going from noob to competent in a new technology.

The goals of this blog are:
  1. Learn F# and document the process.
  2. Provide tutorials from the perspective of a non-expert. I hope this might be more accessible to other learners.
  3. Reflect on the process of learning a new technology, including the frustrations and victories. 
  4. Experiment with this docu-tutorial blog format.
  5. Solidify what I'm learning by forcing myself to document it.
The intended audience:
  1. Other coders who are interested in learning F#. 
  2. I'll be assuming a certain basic knowledge of programming concepts. If you're an absolute beginning coder, this probably isn't the place to learn.
  3. People who are interested in the learning process in general.
Blogger isn't my favorite blog platform (by far) but it's got a few advantages for this project. Since this is primarily an experiment, I don't want to invest much time in getting things set up.
