I just started learning F# with the help of a well known F# dev. It's been a fun challenge. Give yourself the chance to try it out. Do check out http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com Its a great resource.

I worked through quite a few of the exercises on http://exercism.io/ and can recommend the challenge and the community around it for learning by writing code.

I'd especially recommend this article: http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/is-your-language-unre... for a very convincing counter-argument to my thinking about #c had enough functional features that learning f# isn't worth it. It's very high on my todo list basically because of this article.

That site sold me on F# and functional programming! Really good content I can recommend too.
Another good Source: http://blog.ploeh.dk/

Only problem is their tutorial code is all broken, I had to visit the github link to find what was missing and add it in.

that website is gold anyway, not only for f#. Lots of nice concepts, explained simply.
And lots of good tutorial/ideas
