Building Solid Systems in F#

Developer, Architect, Trainer, Consultant; Michael runs @mavnn ltd along with his wife, providing training and consultancy. If it relates to learning about or using anything that relates to .net, functional programming or build/infrastructure tooling we can probably help you.He blogs atblog.mavnn.co.uk, including tutorials, thoughts on software design, and write ups of many of the training sessions.He has not, unfortunately written any of the Mack Bolen the Executioner books, nor is he (fortunately) an expert in past life therapy. On the other hand, he is known to have a few interests outside of coding, including introducing his young son to the fine art of table top role playing and driving the sound desk at the local church.

Writing code is only the first part of putting software into production - to run, maintain and scale your product, you'll need to understand and design the overall system. This 2 day course will take you through best practice in both writing an F# based, distributed system and running it in production - including sensible inter-operation with components written in other languages. To fit this into 2 days, we'll need to make some opinionated decisions (such as using F#!), but many of the ideas and concepts will be transferable. We'll cover: 
<UL>
<LI>Writing reliable code using F#'s unique language features</LI>
<LI>Learn how to apply SOLID (like) principles in a functional style</LI>
<LI>How to instrument distributed services</LI>
<LI>Continuous Improvement, including unit testing & performance measurement</LI>
<LI>Running distributed systems in development</LI>
<LI>Deploying distributed systems to production</LI>
<LI>Good practice in dependency management and code organization </LI>
</UL>
Obviously to fit this in to a two day course, we'll be making some opinionated decisions around libraries and technologies to use. You'll come away with: A git repository of your completed work, which will include: 
<UL>
<LI>Nicely instrumented, benchmarked and unit tested F# services</LI>
<LI>A scripted, deterministic deployment process for the overall distributed system</LI>
<LI>Real time centralized logging, metrics and health feedback from the system, whether running on the dev machine or in production</LI>
<LI>Zero down time continuous deployment for the overall system </LI>
</UL>
What have people said about the course?
"Thanks to <A CLASS="PrettyLink profile customisable h-card" HREF="https://twitter.com/mavnn" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@mavnn</A> for an excellent “Building Solid Systems in F#” workshop. Really enjoyed the course material and meeting everybody. (Also I’ve been inspired to teach myself Emacs :) )" - <A HREF="https://twitter.com/deapsquatter/status/960799697588899841" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Kevin Knoop</A>
Prerequisites: You need to have: 
<UL>
<LI>to have written some F# code and be comfortable with the syntax </LI>
<LI>a reasonable background knowledge of software development </LI>
</UL>
You need to bring a laptop with: 
<UL>
<LI>required: an up to date F# development environment (you'll need to be able to build dotnet core 2.0 apps)</LI>
<LI>required: minikube and kubectl installed </LI>
<LI>helpful: a bash shell</LI>
<LI>helpful: docker</LI>
</UL>
Is this a replacement for Level Up Your F#? 
No; Level Up Your F# (https://blog.mavnn.co.uk/level-up-your-f-number-skills/) focussed on the details of the F# language, this course is focussed on building systems. We will be running Level Up Your F# again in the future.
Can you invoice me rather than taking payment by card?
Yes - email us@mavnn.co.uk and we'll sort it for you.
