Chapter 12. Computation Expressions
In Chapter 6, we looked at how sequence expressions simplify creating sequences. In Chapter 10, we saw how query expressions provide a unified approach to querying data from disparate data sources. Similarly, in Chapter 11, we explored how asynchronous workflows can be employed to simplify creating and executing asynchronous operations. Each of these constructs serves a very different purpose, but what they all have in common is that they’re examples of another F# language feature: the computation expression.
Computation expressions, sometimes referred to as workflows, provide a convenient construct for expressing a series of operations where data flow and side effects are controlled. In that regard, computation ...
