F# API Index

Welcome to the F# API Index for .NET. This section provides a comprehensive overview of the F# programming language, its features, and how to use it within the .NET ecosystem.

Core Concepts

• Type Inference: Understand how F# infers types to reduce verbosity.
• Pattern Matching: A powerful control flow construct for deconstructing data.
• Immutability: Learn about F#'s focus on immutable data structures.
• Asynchronous Workflows: Simplified asynchronous programming.
• Computation Expressions: A powerful syntax for abstracting over sequential computations (e.g., LINQ, async, promises).

Common Libraries and Modules

• FSharp.Core: The essential library for all F# code, providing fundamental types and functions.
• Collections: Explore F#'s efficient and versatile collection types.
• String Manipulation: Working with text data in F#.
• Input/Output: File and stream operations.

Advanced Topics

• Type Providers: Connect F# code to external data sources with compile-time type checking.
• Units of Measure: Compile-time safety for physical quantities.
• Object-Oriented Programming: How F# interoperates with and extends OO concepts.

This index serves as a starting point. For detailed explanations, examples, and the latest information, please refer to the specific documentation pages linked above and the official Microsoft Learn F# documentation.
