YUI Theater — Adam Granicz: “Robust and Rapid Web Development with WebSharper” (57 min.)

Adam Granicz stopped by Yahoo! earlier this week to talk about the F# programming language and its use in web application development.

Granicz’s company, Intellifactory, produces the WebSharper platform. WebSharper fills the role in the F# community that GWT and similar tools fill in the Java community, promising a strongly typed, fast, tightly integrated development experience with deployment to rich web applications. As Fybit’s Riatrax4JS and yui4java do for Java developers, WebSharper brings the power of YUI 2 to F# developers, making a wide range of YUI widgets available.
