WebSharper is an open-source full-stack, functional-first web framework for F# and C# that runs on top of ASP.NET Core. It features F# and C# transpilers to JavaScript, extensible bindings to JavaScript libraries, and various server and client-side abstractions (MVU, reactive HTML, etc.) for type-safe web development. In this session, I’ll walk through some of the basics that make WebSharper an immensely productive tool to develop microservices, SPAs, and full-stack client-server applications in your favourite .NET language, and cover how you can combine and/or migrate some of your WebSharper apps to run in WebAssembly with Bolero, a set of F# web abstractions for Blazor. Functional-first .NET web development has never been easier!

When it comes to developers blogging, expectations are high and many find that it’s a worthwhile effort to develop simple scripts, tools and even full engines to enhance and support blogging about their favorite language. In this hands-on session, you will implement your own blog engine from scratch in just a few hundred lines of F# code using WebSharper, and use its static file generation capabilities to generate blog pages that you can deploy directly into GitHub Pages or host in any web server. The resulting blog can easily be styled using WebSharper’s powerful templating capabilities, and even automated to rebuild when you commit new content or blog articles in your blog repository. You will also learn about adding dynamic functionality to your generated blog pages, or even turning your blog engine to a hosted solution that provides further capabilities as well. No more searching for blog engines with the right features, code what you need and enjoy!

Bolero (http://fsbolero.io) is a functional, reactive web development library for F# developers targeting WebAssembly via Blazor. Next to building on a familiar Model-View-Update (MVU) architecture, Bolero also integrates a number of power features from WebSharper (http://websharper.com) to enable ultra-efficient, full-stack F# web applications. By plugging into the ever-growing Blazor ecosystem, you will enjoy developing most of your code base without JavaScript, and discover a new and promising alternative to building performant web applications. Come to this talk and learn everything you need to know about developing Bolero applications, and jumpstart your productivity with skills that will leave any Blazor developer impressed.
