Type Providers in F# with Tomas Petricek

The Discussion

• 

  It could be good if there was a section on SQL database type providers (like https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Data.SqlClient) because it's far more practical in real programmers life and it is real viable alternative to ORM frameworks that use code generation.

  I can't seem to get FSharp.Data to work in my Windows 8.1 app. I added an F# portable library to the solution and when I use Http.AsyncRequestString, I get a System.InvalidOperationException: The API 'System.Environment.get_OSVersion()' cannot be used on the current platform. 

  Is this a known issue?
