👉 Domain Modelling in F#
F# has a number of simple built-in types that can be composed together to ensure the correctness of our design by making unrepresentable types impossible. We will discover how F# allows us to elegantly handle nulls, exceptions, and reduce our reliance on primitive values to represent actual types.

👉 The Power of F# Collections
If you like LINQ, you'll probably really like F# collections. We'll investigate what you can do with the structures that are available and where each one is best used.
