So as promised here’s a guide to creating your first fable |> fuse application

In this post Im going to be introducing something new and exciting the combination of F#, Fable and Fuse.

What is Edge.js?

Unless you live in a hole you have probably heard of node.js so I’ll not bother to explain what it is or what it does. An interesting project has come to light lately, namely Edge.js. The Edge.js project allows you to connect node.js with .Net.

The creator of Edge.js Tomasz Janczuk sums this up nicely:

An edge connects two nodes
This edge connects node.js with .NET

Currently Edge.js is only available on Windows but there is work underway to bring this to Mono, thus opening up the possibilities even further.

If I walk into my garage now and open up a toolbox, whats inside?

Here’s a quick selection:

• Ball-peen hammer
• Jointer plane
• 1/2 inch mortise chisel
• Soldering iron
• Set square
• Low angle block plane
• Torx screw drivers
• Hack saw
• Monkey wrench
• Pipe cutter

Notice it doesn’t just contain:

• A sledge hammer.

Different tools have different purposes, you wouldn’t use a hammer and try to cut down a tree, or use a chisel to hammer a nail.
