Building a fully functional F# web API - s01e01: walking skeleton

[@guillaumedechambre9138]

Pretty cool. More F#!

[@JoVanEyck]

Thanks :) More on the way!

[@OrdridOfficial]

This is just the foothold I need to get started making projects in F#. Thank you so much for this.

[@JoVanEyck]

That's awesome! Do let me know if you end up building something in F#, it's amazing to see more and more people build real stuff with it!

[@johnprincipes8058]

Finally! Something real world style in F#.

[@Zainjerr]

YES YES YES! This is exactly what I needed! This series is a gem I hope this helps further the adoption of F# by mainstream developers

[@mattgreer6972]

Thank you for keeping your stuff-ups in the video--it's so reassuring to see someone making the same mistakes I do--installing Nuget packages into the wrong project (and fix by copying and pasting project config) or getting backslashes and forward slashes muddled up. I suppose that almost everyone does this kind of thing, but it's so rare to actually see it--made me feel much better about myself! Will definitely be following along--looking forward to more (especially persistence and data-validation). :)

[@JoVanEyck]

Thanks for the feedback! That's exactly what I'm trying to showcase with my current advent of code live-coding series. Even the most experienced engineers struggle from time to time, most content createos just cut those bits out out in post 😀

[@davecook1805]

Perfect timing! Planning on spiking out this exact thing with a few of the team this week!

[@JoVanEyck]

Oh that's awesome! How did it turn out?

[@donarnold8811]

Thanks for introducing me to Unquote! I'm really looking forward to further installments in this series!

[@JoVanEyck]

You're welcome, thanks for tuning in!

[@codewithkv]

This is awesome! Excited to build with F#

[@JoVanEyck]

Thanks! Are you building something yourself?

@@JoVanEyck I'm using Giraffe to build a simple dashboard to display market data for stocks and crypto. Trying to apply the knowledge gained from your video and other sources.

[@robhunt8378]

Looking forward to the next episode. Any thoughts on Giraffe's current status and its most recent fork, Oxpecker?

[@JoVanEyck]

I did a liiiiittle bit of research before I picked giraffe. It's not maintained anymore and missing some crucial things I need when writing production apps (openAPI integration for one) which it currently lacks. Suave.io looked promising but the hello world docs did not even compile with the latest version which made me not dive too deeply. Oxpecker looks very interesting! I won't be migrating away from Giraffe in this series (yet?), but that's definitely one I would take into account next time I build an F# backend!
