Abstract
F# is effective and productive primarily because it’s built on the tried and tested constructs of functional programming. This chapter covers the core building blocks of functional programming with F#, including simple types and function values, pattern matching, lists, options, and sequences; as well as how to declare some of your own simple types. Chapters 4 through 6 cover imperative programming, generics, and object-oriented programming.
