User Interfaces

Abstract

In this chapter, you will learn about one of the most common tasks a programmer needs to perform: the art of putting pixels on the screen. In F#, this is all about the libraries and APIs that you call, and you have a lot of choices in this area, with more emerging as the .NET platform involves. The first choice you need to make is whether you want to build a desktop application; an application that runs locally and uses a series of windows and controls to display information to the user; or a web application, where you define the application’s interface in HTML, which is then rendered by a browser.
