DESCRIPTION:Machine Learning and Data Science are red-hot topics right now
 . Practitioners routinely use a wide range of tools\, from Python to R or
  Hadoop\, and yet\, C# is conspicuously absent from that arsenal. Does th
 is mean .NET is not suitable for this domain? In this talk\, I'll explain
  why I think it can be\, as long as you use the right language for the jo
 b\, namely F#. F# is a functional first language\, with a concise and exp
 ressive syntax that will feel familiar to data scientists used to Python 
 or Matlab. It combines the performance and maintenability benefits of sta
 tically typed languages\, with the flexibility of Type Providers\, a uniq
 ue mechanism that enables the seamless consumption of virtually any datas
 ources. And as a first-class .NET citizen\, it interops smoothly with C#.
  So if you are interested in a language that can handle both flexible dat
 a exploration\, and the pressure of a real production system\, come check
  out what F# has to offer!

SUMMARY:Machine Learning and Data Science are red-hot topics right now. Pr
 actitioners routinely use a wide range of tools\, from Python to R or Had
 oop\, and yet\, C# is conspicuously absent from that arsenal. Does this m
 ean .NET is not suitable for this domain? In this talk\, I'll explain why
  I think it can be\, as long as you use the right language for the job\, 
 namely F#. F# is a functional first language\, with a concise and express
 ive syntax that will feel familiar to data scientists used to Python or M
 atlab. It combines the performance and maintenability benefits of statica
 lly typed languages\, with the flexibility of Type Providers\, a unique m
 echanism that enables the seamless consumption of virtually any datasourc
 es. And as a first-class .NET citizen\, it interops smoothly with C#. So 
 if you are interested in a language that can handle both flexible data ex
 ploration\, and the pressure of a real production system\, come check out
  what F# has to offer!
