F# MOOC

[Yoann R.]

Hi,

Is there any F# MOOC on the market nowadays?  

I have been learning the language for the past few years as an autodidact. I clearly miss a few things, and I guess any basic, standard or advanced functional programming courses with f# as primary language would be really helpful.

Thanks

Yoann

Take a look at the Pluralsight courses on F#

There used to be a free edX course from Microsoft: https://www.mooc-list.com/course/programming-f-edx

But they seem to have taken it down.

But in any case, I would highly recommend approaching F# from another angle: by learning the syntax and semantics of the ML family of functional languages as taught in https://www.coursera.org/learn/programming-languages/

I always highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn FP, because the instructor is really good at explaining the concepts, idioms and comparisons to other paradigms, in a very accessible way. He guides you through the functional world step by step.

The only thing is, this course doesn't use F# as its teaching language--it uses Standard ML, which is an older language in the ML family, with a slightly different syntax. But the important thing is, it's really easy to transfer your knowledge over to F#--the languages are remarkably similar. And the course materials and learning experience make it very much worth the effort.

Hope this helps,

Yawar
