This talk aims to remove any fears, uncertainty and doubt around it by distilling FP down to a few easy to understand practices that when followed lead to a large improvement of the simplicity of code.

We'll briefly look at the evolution of C#, and then spend some time looking at F# - a succinct, robust and performant programming language that runs on both the .NET and JavaScript platforms.

We'll see the value proposition behind F# and FP in general as well as how to address common concerns and challenges faced with adoption with practical solutions, including interop between F# and C# and useful battle-tested techniques for ensuring success.
