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

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years ago

The second development chunk focuses on creating documents to index, and munging them into a format to hand off to an external library. There are examples of calling a .NET library from F#, mutable values, function composition, and several other spiffy sounding things. read more...

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...

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...

Out parameters suck, tuples rule, F# wins(tryingthisagain.com)

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

The TryParse method found on many value types is nice and useful. Unfortunately, you're forced to use out parameters to make use of them. Ugh. read more...

A basic NamedLock class(tryingthisagain.com)

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years, 3 months ago

Here’s a bit of code I extracted from my own special baby of an application. It allows me to lock on a specific "name", rather than having to use an object instance and the built in lock construct. read more...

Hijacking the SubSonic relationship loading process(tryingthisagain.com)

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years, 5 months ago

In my quest to make SubSonic work for me, I’ve been stumbling through the source code and making improvements on my own super special branch. Of primary interest to me was the mechanism for loading objects related through a foreign key. This has proven to be the biggest performance bottleneck on any of my SubSonic based applications. Here's how I'm fixing it. read more...

Hide and seek with the ASP.NET cache(tryingthisagain.com)

submitted by mrkurt(280) 4 years, 6 months ago

I started extracting some caching code into a more reusable class this week. It comes from one of my favorite applications, which has ~10,000 objects cached at any given time. I figured I’d start this blog off the right way and show off one of my more boneheaded code decisions. read more...
