What this book covers
Chapter 1, Performing Common Optimizations in F#, introduces F# and gives an overview of the common problems in F# code.
Chapter 2, Performance Measurement, helps you get to know what and how to measure and the tooling ecosystem to measure performance.
Chapter 3, Optimizing Data Structures, helps you decide the best and the most optimal use of F#-specific data structures and optimize them.
Chapter 4, Introduction to Concurrency in F#, provides a general introduction to the concept of concurrency and concurrency implementation support in F#.
Chapter 5, Advanced Concurrency Support in F#, provides best practices in implementing advanced concurrency support in F#, including interop with .NET TPL and avoiding performance pitfalls.
Chapter 6, Optimizing Type Provider, gives a quick walk-through of type provider implementation, while at the same time providing optimization and avoiding performance pitfalls in implementing your own custom type providers.
Chapter 7, Language Features and Constructs Optimization, explains best practices when implementing and using various F# language features and constructs without sacrificing the performance and correctness in functional programming.
Chapter 8, Optimizing Computation Expressions, explains best practices in using F# computation workflows and optimizing your own implementation of a computation workflow.
