Abstract

In these lecture notes, we present the basics of functional and reactive web programming through WebSharper, a mature web development framework for F# [7], and its UI.Next [9] library for constructing reactive markup with two-way data binding. You will learn the theory behind similar technologies, discover its advantages, and develop simple applications using the concepts learned.
