Is there any updated book?
f#booktutorial

I reallize that many F# tutorial and book is to old to be used for reference because some of lang constructs are changed.

for example, List.assoc isn't be used anymore and also many others.

.

If you add a reference to the F# Power Pack (#r "FSharp.PowerPack.dll") most your troubles will be solved. Likewise enable OCaml compatibility library entries (#nowarn "62")

Also taka a look at the errata for the books

Hi, in fsi that comes with VS 2010 Beta 1, when I tried #r "FSharp.PowerPack.dll", fsi complains that it cannot be found. Do you have any idea why? I searched in my disk and the dll is really missing.

I just read the release note and learned that now the powerpack is a separate download. Sorry that I couldn't delete my previous reply.

This is probably a stupid question but where did you save the downloaded powerpack so that it was picked up in F# interactive? Thanks

I don't have an F# installation at the moment, but nothing except FSharp.Core (and probably mscorlib) is picked up automatically by FSI. You need to use the #r "Path\To\dll" directive to add a "reference" in FSI.

Hi,
The book I'm working on (which is currently available in electronic format via early access program) is in sync with the F# CTP version and when it goes out it should be in sync with the next F# release. However, it's not really a reference-kind-of book, because it mostly tries to explain concepts (using many examples that show up-to-date F# source code..), but there are not much reference tables (e.g. with all List.xyz functions).
