Learning F# through FSharpKoans

In my journey to become a better F# (and C#) developer, I found the following project on GitHub: https://github.com/ChrisMarinos/FSharpKoans

From the documentation:

Inspired by EdgeCase's fantastic Ruby koans, the goal of the F# koans is to teach you F# through testing.

When you first run the koans, you'll be presented with a runtime error and a stack trace indicating where the error occured. Your goal is to make the error go away. As you fix each error, you should learn something about the F# language and functional programming in general.

Your journey towards F# enlightenment starts in the AboutAsserts.fs file. These koans will be very simple, so don't overthink them! As you progress through more koans, more and more F# syntax will be introduced which will allow you to solve more complicated problems and use more advanced techniques.

To get started clone the project and open it in Visual Studio(Code). Browse to the FSharpKoans project and run ‘dotnet watch run’.

Now it’s up to you Smile. Have fun!

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
