This Spring I had a programming mentorship through the F# Software Foundation with the talented Onur Gumus who showed me a number of functional programming concepts using F#. In addition, we also had a lesson on the fundamentals of computing in general, and I thought it might be helpful to share what I learned here. [Read More]
