We’re happy to announce that the beta release of the new Try F# (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a>  has arrived! We’re proud of this new release, and with good reason: Try F# makes programming in F# 3.0 easy to learn, simple to use, and straightforward to share—all through the browser.<\/span><\/p>\n

F# (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> 3.0 is ideal for analytical, data-rich, and parallel component development, harnessing the power of functional programming.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a researcher who’s been longing to learn the basics or learn about the incredible new type providers in F# 3.0 that deliver information to your fingertips, then Try F# is for you. Likewise, if you’re a teacher who wants to introduce students to the power of this elegant and pragmatic language, then the Try F# browser-based platform with easy-to-use tutorials is also for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s more, you’ll be treated to a new “learn” experience, complete with sample materials to get you started and a way to give us feedback so that you can tell us what you think about the look and feel and ease of navigation. The Try F# beta even includes new “create and share” experiences that help you write simple code to solve complex problems and then easily share snippets (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> or sample packs (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a> with others. And remember, Try F# is in a browser-based environment, so it’s accessible from any operating system.<\/span><\/p>\n

We would love for you to be part of the Try F# beta, which provides the tutorials, resources, and tools to begin working with F# right away. By participating, you’ll experience F# 3.0’s unique, information-rich programming features for Big Data analytics, and you’ll get the power to solve complex problems more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

F# communities make it easy to get involved:<\/span><\/p>\n
