Community Calendar – IndySA – July 17

This morning I awoke to some great news. David Giard is coming to Carmel to present “Effective Data Visualization” at the IndySA meeting on July 17!

I had the opportunity to hear an early incarnation of this talk a while back and I can only imagine how it has been refined since then.

If data visualization is something that interests you or you just want to hear a great speaker, you won’t want to miss this event. The doors open at 5:30 with the meeting starting at 6:00. Full logistics details are available on the IndySA Meetup page.

I hope to see you there!

I hope to see you there!

About the Talk

F# Needs Love Too

Originally developed by Microsoft Research, Cambridge, F# is an open-source, functional-first language in the ML family. Despite its lofty position as a first-class Visual Studio language for the past two releases and its cross-platform availability it hasn’t seen widespread adoption in the business world. In this talk we’ll take an introductory look at F#, exploring how its constructs and terse syntax can allow you to write more stable, maintainable code while keeping you focused on the problem rather than the plumbing.
