F#, fun projects and being an Evil Genius (and of course world domination)

Chris Smith's completely unique view -  Being an Evil Genius with F# and .NET

“A couple weeks ago I was in glorious Sandusky, Ohio presenting at CodeMash. CodeMash is a community driven conference that’s less about product announcements and typical “rah rah” and more about getting smart people together to talk about what they are passionate about – coding.

Rather than doing the prototypical “Intro to F# Talk” I figured I go with something a bit more fun and relevant to the every day developer. Sure F# is neat and everything – but why bother to learn a new programming language unless you can use it to do something meaningful. Well, in addition excelling at both functional and object-oriented programming, F# is ideal for world domination.

To be honest, this may be the best talk abstract I’ll ever write.

Awesome. Not only F# coolness, but having fun with F#! We’re talking USB Missile Launchers, voice recognition, image processing, facial recognition and more…
