We're very happy to announce that Andreas Håkansson (aka The Code Junkie) and Steven Robbins (aka GrumpyDev)agreed to do a talk on Nancy, a lightweight, low-ceremony, framework for building HTTP based services on .Net and Mono. The goal of the framework is to stay out of the way as much as possible and provide a super-duper-happy-path to all interactions. With Nancy you can go from zero to website in a matter of minutes.

European Virtual ALT.NET: Mike Hadlow on Monads on 29 March 2011

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:12:42 GMT

We're more than happy to announce that Mike Hadlow agreed to do a talk on Monads. These days, monads are the "celebrities of programming language theory". But they also inspire fear in the hearts of lowly imperative programmers. However they are a very useful and powerful abstraction and they pop up everywhere. C#'s Linq syntax is Monadic, for example. Having an understanding of Monads will give you the conceptual tools to greatly simplify many programming challenges, from dealing with nulls and managing state, to asynchronous programming and parsing. This talk will be mostly C#, but I will also be introducing a little F# and even some Haskell.

60+ .Net libraries every developer should know about

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:45:03 GMT

Every good developer knows never to re-invent the wheel, especially if there is software out there that has been tested by others, and has an established track record. As a developer using the .NET framework I've found some of these libraries invaluable, so I'm sharing them for some of the other dev's out there with a brief outline of how to use.
