Baby steps with F# and functional programming

For the uninitiated, F# is a general-purpose programming language found in .NET.

C# basics: manage program flow part two

Welcome reader, We’ll pick up where we left with how to manage the program flow of a software application. We saw how to use the if-else if-else structure. To evaluate a condition, we need comparaison operators. Those are use evaluate a boolean expression, which will either result a true or false. Below, you’ll be able […]

C# basics: My first console application
