Thanks to everyone who attended my session "Functional C# or how I lost the foreach and learned to love LINQ". This is still an ongoing passion of mine that I hope to expand upon in the upcoming posts. Some of these topics include...

A couple of days ago, I had the pleasure of recording Episode 18 of Herding Code on Functional Programming and F#. The topic on their minds was around functional programming, and more in particular with some of the things I've been doing around...

In the past, I've covered quite a bit of functional programming in C# 3.0 and how you can implement some of the basic constructs using the language. In preparation for the Richmond Code Camp coming up on October 4th, for which I'm planning...

Lately, I've been heads down on a lot of concurrency items which will hopefully come out soon. In the mean time, I want to get back to the basics one last time with recursion. As I posted earlier, I've been talking about recursion in the past...

Lately I've been getting back to basics with regards to recursion. This is a basic and essential skill, especially in the functional programming world. Today's dive will be into immutable lists and recursion. I'll do my best to provide the...

In my previous post , I talked about some of the basics of recursion and why you might want to use it to your advantage. Today, let's dive a little deeper into the different kinds of recursion, including linear, tail recursion and finally binary recursion...

Lately, I've noticed a few blogs are doing the come back to basics post, such as Scott Hanselman's . I think that's an effort that should be lauded, because many have a tendency to go off on pretty advanced topics, yet not provide enough for...

I'm finally getting back to my concurrency in .NET posts after a brief hiatus after I got sidetracked on various other functional programming issues such as some language oriented programming and functional C#. In the previous post , I talked about...

In the last installment of Functional C# , I covered a bit about creating delayed evaluation lists based upon unfolding constructs and generating lists from external resources. Those are some of the higher level high order functions you can do in C#,...

In a previous post , I talked about how I thought C# has some significant drawbacks from being considered a more functional language. But, that wasn't to exclude it as a language altogether, as it has some pretty useful features. Lately, when I have...

Lately, I've been doing some functional C# in both user groups and on this blog. As the C# language has evolved it has definitely taken some functional programming aspects, such as high order functions, extension methods, LINQ and so on. But with...

As I've covered earlier , I'm very interested in the unit testing and behavior testing story in F# and functional programming. And as I've indicated earlier, I'm pretty fascinated by Domain Specific Languages (DSLs) as well in this regard...

This past weekend was the Northern Virginia Code Camp in Reston, Virginia. There was a pretty good turnout for my two sessions which were the first two of the day. Unfortunately, I could not stay the whole day to attend some of the other sessions including...

In recent posts, you've found that I've been harping on immutability and side effect free functions. There is a general theme emerging from this and some real reasons why I'm pointing it out. One of the things that I'm interested in is...
