DESCRIPTION
F# already allows you to write applications with much less code and fewer bugs, but wouldn't it be nice to improve productivity even more by creating/using custom F# application (a.k.a. multi-project) templates and NuGet packages? In this talk we will discuss what goes into the creation of these templates/packages as well as approaches for distributing these productivity enhancers to the masses.
