Known for his non-academic approach to functional programming, Scott is a popular speaker and has given talks at NDC, F# Exchange, DDD Europe, and other conferences around the world. Topics of Discussion: [2:40] Scott talks about how he got into F#, and the nonlinear path his career has taken. [4:00] Scott walks us through the history of F#. [6:52] What types of applications should developers be looking at F# for? [10:55] What was Scott’s inspiration behind writing Domain Modeling Made Functional? [12:20] Domain-driven design has nothing to do with a particular language. It’s a process. [17:32] As an industry, whether it be literature or art, there’s so much to be gained by observing and reading prior works of others. [19:55] How does functional thinking impact architecture? [20:51] In functional programming, you want everything to be deterministic. [28:34] What are some of the examples of transcription scripts? [31:10] In functional programming, the main thing is the function and not the object.

Quotes: <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">[3:00] “I started learning functional programming because I sort of felt like I really knew everything there was to know about databases and all that stuff. I thought I wanted something different.” — Scott</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">[8:52] “It really depends on how you like to program. If you like to program in a functional style, and you want to be on .NET, then F# is perfect.” — Scott</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">[12:00] “Don’t focus on the technology, focus on what you are actually trying to build.” — Scott</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">[17:32] “As an industry, whether it be literature or art, there’s so much to be gained by observing and reading prior works of others.” — Jeffrey</li> </ul> Scott: <a href="https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottWlaschin">Twitter</a>
