There’s a reason, which will unfold as I dig through some data and provide this look into what is and isn’t happening in the virtualization space. It’s important to also note what methods were used to attain... Continue reading →

More notes on the “Thinking Functionally” series. Previous notes are @ “_______1 |> F# – Getting Started, Thinking Functionally“. #6 Partial Application Breaking down functions into single parameter functions is the mathematically correct way of doing it, but that is not the only reason it is done — it also leads to a very powerful...

Now for some F# hacking. The first thing I did was actually go through a Code Kata, which I’ll present here. The first step I took was to get a project started. For that I used the ProjectScaffold to build a clean project via bash. First cloned… git clone git@github.com:fsprojects/ProjectScaffold.git sharpKataStringCalc …then I … Continue reading →

This is the first of a new series I’m starting (along with my other ongoing series on JavaScript workflow and practices). In this article particularly I’m just going to provide an overview and notes of key paradigms in functional programming. Most... Continue reading →
