Thinking in Concurrently in .NET(codebetter.com)

submitted by igoro(815) 4 years ago

Matthew Podwysocki discusses several present and future approaches to handling concurrency in .Net. From the article: "We need not only a better way to handle concurrency, but a better way to describe them as well. This is where Pi-calculus comes into the picture... But before we get down that beaten path, let's look at a few options that I chose." read more...

Building an F# powered indexing system (part 2)(tryingthisagain.com)

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years ago

Building an F# powered indexing system(tryingthisagain.com)

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years ago

When I first started dabbling in F#, I really struggled to understand how someone (in particular, me) would sit down and start writing an application from scratch. Project Euler puzzles are a great way to learn syntax (and probably the best place to start), but I would have loved to see a real application's source with a sort of "here's how it was built" narrative. So that's what I'm going to do! read more...

If you're looking for a way to flex your programming muscles, you really should check out Project Euler. read more...

submitted by tomdog(3230) 4 years, 1 month ago

"I gave an hour long talk today, on Concurrency in F#. It featured some slides and a small ant colony simulation to demonstrate different kinds of threading. Overall, I liked developing in F# quite a bit; however, puzzling through the interpreter errors was a brutal process indeed." read more...

F# vs. C#: refactoring in parallel and generics(tryingthisagain.com)

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years, 1 month ago

In an attempt to avoid out parameters (which suck) in C#, I refactored a bit of contrived code to bury them elsewhere. I also worked on the equivalent F# code, and found more things about C# that may or may not suck. read more...

Functional Programming in C# - Higher-Order Functions(aabs.wordpress.com)

submitted by aabs(850) 4 years, 1 month ago

This is the second in a series on the basics of functional programming using C#. I explore Higher-Order Functions this time. Higher-Order Functions are functions that themselves take or return functions. Meta-functions, if you like. This is a more code intensive post, that builds on the ideas that I explored last time. read more...
