But Try F# is much more than a set of tutorials. It lets users write code in the browser and share it with others on the web to help grow a community of F# developers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">This latest release of Try F# is an evolution that keeps the tool in synch with the new experiences and information-rich programming features that are available in F# 3.0, the latest version of the language. The tutorials incorporate many domains, and help users understand F#&rsquo;s new powerful &ldquo;type providers&rdquo; for data and service programming in the browser-based experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BSwxD9_bX4Y\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">F# has become an invaluable tool in accessing, integrating, visualizing, and sharing data analytics. Try F# thus has the potential to become the web-based data console for bringing &ldquo;big and broad data,&rdquo; including the associated metadata, from thousands of sources (eventually millions) to the fingertips of developers and data scientists. Try F# helps fill the need for robust tools and applications to browse, query, and analyze open and linked data. It promotes the use of open data to stimulate innovation and enable new forms of collaboration and knowledge creation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">For example, to answer a straightforward question such as, &ldquo;Is US healthcare cost-effective?&rdquo; researchers now need to look at several datasets, going back and forth between an integrated development environment (IDE) and webpages to figure out if they&rsquo;ve found what they need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">With Try F#, a researcher can quickly and easily access thousands of schematized and strongly-typed datasets. This presents huge opportunities in today&rsquo;s data-driven world, and we strongly encourage all developers and data scientists to use Try F# to seamlessly discover, access, analyze, and visualize big and broad data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">&mdash;<a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/people\/evelynev\/\" target=\"_blank\">Evelyne Viegas<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Director of Semantic Computing, Microsoft Research Connections<\/span><\/em><br \/><em><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">&mdash;<a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/people\/kenjitak\/\" target=\"_blank\">Kenji Takeda<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>, Solutions Architect, Microsoft Research Connections<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;\">Learn More<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tryfsharp.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Try F#<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/channel9.msdn.com\/Blogs\/DevRadio\/Microsoft-DevRadio-Learn-Create-and-Share-with-Try-F\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft DevRadio: Learn, Create and Share with Try&nbsp;F#<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/inside_microsoft_research\/archive\/2013\/01\/22\/programming-languages-in-the-eternal-city.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Programming Languages in the Eternal City<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: blue; font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/apps\/video\/?id=180064\" target=\"_blank\">Try F#&mdash;A New Wave of Education and Research<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;(video) <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/apps\/pubs\/?id=173076\" target=\"_blank\">F# 3.0&mdash;Strongly-Typed Language Support for Internet-Scale Information Sources<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/projects\/tryfsharp\/\" target=\"_blank\">Try F# project page<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/collaboration\/focus\/cs\/tools.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Visual Studio Research Tools<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: small;\"><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/research.microsoft.com\/en-us\/collaboration\/focus\/cs\/\" target=\"_blank\">Computer Science at Microsoft Research Connections<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we are excited to announce the latest release of Try F#, a set of resources that makes it easy to learn and program with F# in your browser.
