Starting from zero is hard. I have been convinced of the value of F#. That is what I want to build my system on. Coming from BASIC and Visual Basic and .asp pages is a long stretch to .Net and F# functional programming. For the projects of my immediate need, after trying many things and watching hours upon hours of videos (from Channel 9 and YouTube mostly) my starting point is F# and Azure Functions. I am still clueless on most of it, however I have been able to figure out a bit of .fsx F# Scripting.
I am using Visual Studio 2017 mainly because I have tried using it for so many years that I am comfortable with it. I am not a command line person. I like lists and buttons and such. I know I should embrace VSCode and bla bla. But I am not. Simple as that.
There are a lot less tutorials and such for doing basic learning with Visual Studio. So, as I learn, I am posting what I figure out for my own reference, but also so maybe it helps some other bloke like myself. I am completely self taught. Well, let me rephrase that. What I know is usually from learning from what others post. Web pages, sites, blogs, videos, etc. I then try to take their items and modify them to do what I want done. Unfortunately what I want to do is usually quite different than what is available for reference, so I pieces lots of tidbits together from different sources and sometimes it works.
I find it seems like I waste a lot of time, so again, posting to others might benefit from my “wasted” time.
