Chapter 8. Asynchronous and agent-based programming
Colin Bull
The real world consists of independent entities interacting through asynchronous exchanges of information. Programming languages that provide abstractions for asynchronous computations and agents are ideally suited for modeling real-world problems. This chapter introduces asynchronous workflows and agent-based concurrency in F#.
All about asynchronous workflows
Programming in the functional style promotes a compositional approach to problem solving. The solution to a complex problem can be composed from the solution to simpler subproblems. Pure functions and immutable data structures are the fundamental building blocks used to implement solutions using this approach. Code written ...
