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 F# and C# equivalent...

As noted before, I was scheduled to give a presentation on Aspects of Functional Programming in C# 3.0 yesterday at the Rockville .NET User Group (RockNUG) . Unfortunately, before the presentations were to commence, the power went out and the event was...

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 those just...

Over the past couple of months, I've been working on some language oriented programming concepts in F# to prove how Domain Specific Languages could work. This coincided with my lofty goals of working towards more Behavior Driven Development (BDD) frameworks...
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 MPI...
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 been...

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 that...

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. In the past...
