Wisconsin INETA, Tonight, Feb 21, 2006, F# Presentation
I announced that I'm speaking at Wisconsin INETA for February earlier here. I personally invite everyone that visits this blog to attend.
My topic, as listed on the Wisconsin INETA site, will be An Introduction to F#. The official long title (after a revision or two) is F# - An Introduction Under an Application of Quantitative Finance. As this is my first speaking engagement in a few years, I'm really focused on delivering a clear and fun presentation (no duh?!?). the lower cased one mentioned that he'll keep me in my place if I get out of line with the math. I promise that of all of the slides, there is only one that has funky math symbology and there is a warning on the previous slide for those that don't want to blind.
I need to acknowledge two people for early reviews of and comments on my presentation. Dr. Don Syme, F# Team Lead and Language Designer/Architect, provided early feedback that was useful. Matt Terski also provided an early sanity check of the presentation. A big thank you to both of you. Any revisions since our discussions and errors that result are obviously my own.
If the above is not enough to get you out of the house in this cold Wisconsin winter, let me remind everyone that there will be free pizza and soda served and prizes (books, gift certificates, etc.), compliments of SysLogic, Inc., Apress and JJB Research. I personally thank Patty Pritchard Thompson of SysLogic and James Huddleston of Apress for their generosity.
