Production Ready SAFE Stack Apps

You'll come away from this course feeling excited to use F# across the whole development stack. Our trainers, who work with SAFE Stack every day, will help you to avoid common pitfalls and leave you feeling confident in your understanding of SAFE. You'll be able to make your favourite React component accessible from F# to build your webpages quickly. You'll learn how to use the battle-tested ASP.NET Core web server technology to write a resilient and secure backend. You'll see how easy it is to get your app running in Azure, allowing you to host scalable applications. In short, you'll feel invigorated and ready to employ the power of F# when writing business-critical web applications.

This course is for developers who have already tried SAFE Stack that want to deepen their understanding. It covers tools and patterns that ensure your SAFE Stack apps are production ready.

This two-day course (4 afternoons) will guide you through the steps required to develop reliable and scalable web applications using F#. Whether it's how to benefit from functional programming techniques in order to develop reliable applications and accurately model domains, working with standard web technologies such as JavaScript, WebPack and React whilst still working in F#, or how to write server-side applications that can seamlessly interoperate with client-side systems that work on the JavaScript ecosystem, you'll get something out of this fun and intense course.

Each session will last 4 hours, for a total of 16 hours of training.
