.NET training

By the later part of this year, Microsoft gonna ship a new version of Microsoft’s tools for F#, which will include support for F# 4.1, featuring important improvements to the language that have been developed in addition with F# users and contributors.

Their tools will also include a cross-platform, open-source F# 4.1 compiler tool-chain for .NET Framework and .NET Core, suitable for use on Linux, Windows, and macOS/OS X.

Support for the .NET Standard and .NET Core

The compiler and scripting tools for F# 4.1 would be the first version to offer support for .NET Core. This is in addition to the current support for .NET Framework 4.x development. When you write F# code on .NET Core now, you’re using a pre-release of F# 4.1 and a compiler tool chain.

Microsoft tools for F# will continue to be fully compatible .NET Framework development in a backwards-support way. This includes compiling existing projects designed with previous versions of Visual Studio and running existing scripts using F# Interactive (fsi.exe). Support for the recent versions of the .NET Framework is being added to these tools.

Start with F# 4.1 on .NET Core

Currently .NET Core 1.0 SDK tooling is still in preview. So details here are likely to change as that tooling finalize.

To being on .NET Core, install the .NET Core 1.0 SDK Preview 2 tooling.

Then create a directory somewhere on your PC, open a command line, and type:

dotnet new -l f#

The Xamarin team of Microsoft are actively incorporating F# 4.1 support into the F# support in Xamarin Studio.

The Mono packaging team is updating the packages available to include F# 4.1.

The F# community is amalgamating F# 4.1 support in the F# Compiler Service component, used by many editing and compilation tools.

They are working with the F# community to help update the F# support in the Visual F# Power Tools .

Summary

Microsoft’s tools for F# features significant improvement in language and cross-platform .NET Core support. Support for F# 4.1 is also being rolled out across the F# world. We suggest you to use preliminary versions of these language and tooling features currently through alpha versions of different platform compiler toolchain for .NET Core. Whether doing .NET Framework or .NET Core development, contribute to the designing of the tools on the Visual F# GitHub repository.

If you wanna learn ASP.Net and perfect yourself in .NET training, then CRB Tech Solutions would be very helpful in fulfilling your aspirations. We update ourself with the ongoing development in ASP.Net course.
