Hello F#

In this series we will take a walk into F# World. F# is a new functional programming language, targeting the .NET Framework.

Functional programming seems to be a buzz world for Multiprocessor programming and In my personal opinion think it is going to be more useful as we move more to Cloud computing in order to target muli processor computation power.

Currently exploring my knowledge on MVC,SPARK view engine, jQuery,WPF,Windows phone 7and F#.
