Topic:
Exploring F#: Leveraging Stronger Type Systems for More Reliable .NET Applications by Jeremy Novak, Bill Kuck
In the .NET ecosystem, most developers work primarily with C#, following familiar patterns for domain modeling. But what if the platform you already use offered a different approach, one that could eliminate entire categories of bugs by design?
This session begins with concepts every C# developer knows and gradually introduces a new perspective through F#. We’ll explore how F# enables a more expressive, correctness-oriented modeling style within .NET. Along the way, you’ll see how this approach can influence everything from state representation to UI flow design without discarding your existing tools, libraries, or C# codebases.
