How can we improve the Azure SDK and Tools?

← SDK and Tools

Add F# documentation for Azure SDK

Add documentation for the Azure services from F#, particularly documenting

(a) how to use basic services like blob and table storage from the F# Interactive REPL, to allow F# scripting to be used to script Azure

(b) showing how to develop and use F# type providers for Azure

All the documentation should be cross-platform so that F# users on Mac, Linux and mobile can also learn how to use Azure services.

The current documentation for C# is very difficult to follow for F# programmers since it depends on specific Visual Studio tooling.

David - that's great to hear. If the docs are open there are lots of F# users of Azure who would be glad to help.
