F# Presentation: Follow up
I've completed my presentation for Wisconsin INETA on F#. I was able to leave the room with very few bumps and bruises. Seriously, what a great time it was. I haven't spoken in public in some time and I had a lot of fun. The crowd was fantastic and I'll say this: Everyone in the room "got" it. F# is a fun language and has a number of great uses. I touched on one very simple application using F#. Lists, Tuples, Type Inferencing, etc. were discussed.
You can find the presentation PowerPoint here. Please note that the code for this presentation will follow at a later date. The demonstration was to show "how" to construct a Sharpe Ratio and I hope have a post up a working example (that runs against publicly available data) in the near future. Given the time constraints (2 hours), it would be impossible to cover all of the material, so I wanted to make certain that people were left with a bit of understanding of both F# and Quantitative Finance (in a non quant-professional setting, i.e. for .NET developers).
More importantly, and don't tell anyone you saw these, but rumor has it that there are pictures of me in action here (with the first one here; as this stack will obviously have other eventual photos). Thanks Matt. Given The Liz's observations that I ought to "hit the gym more", I find no evidence of that in these photos. Ironic that in Matt's Flickr stack, I follow photos of "Tuscan-Style Garlic-Rosemary Roast Pork Loin".
