Expert F# 3.0 by Don Syme et all contains quite a lot of example code, including a simple web app using asp.

NET generics design (Don Syme and Andrew Kennedy in MSR) were coming from an ML background, and Don is the primary researcher behind F#.

As per language Expert F# from Apress by Don Syme et.

Or as Don Syme said (I think it was him or perhaps SPJ), features get done in Haskell, trickle into F#, then into C#.

I once showed some of my C# code to Don Syme and he told me...that looks a lot like F#:) The biggest challenge, I guess, of F#, is that C# isn't that broken like say...

Speaking with Don Syme he indicated that technically there wouldn't be anything standing in the way of doing the equivalent of what IntelliFactory did with the new C# compiler, though you can be sure of two things: Microsoft won't be doing it and it's likely a tremendous amount of work.

Don Syme calls F# a "functional first" programming language, which I think it more accurate.

If you are interested I found Jon Harrops "Visual F# 2010 for Technical Computing" really good practical introduction, Don Syme et.

BTW: Tomas Petricek's "Real-world functional progamming" as well as "Expert F#" by Don Syme are excellent introductions to the language.

Net books would include "Expert F#" by Don Syme et.

Don Syme, Andrew Kennedy and many others that work for Microsoft are awesome.
