Functional .NET - LINQ or Language Integrated Monads?

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:20:55 GMT

"Simply put, a monad, unlike your normal function results, stores function results and side-effect representations. This allows side effects to be propagated through the return values of functions without breaking the pure functional model. This is what makes it so powerful that it is a way to manage side effects. " Great article about monads in C#/LINQ and F#.

Functional C# Recap

"Here are some resources that will be helpful in covering functional programming aspects as well as other topics covered." (Link collection)

F# : absolute power corrupts absolutely, but F# removes side-effects

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:34:49 GMT

Functional programming is so addictive. It reminds me when I could code with no team, no deadline, no broken processes or cultures to navigate. I do hope this becomes a common option for general development or at least C# continues to borg functional ideas.

Functional C# - Learn from F# and LINQ

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:26:38 GMT

We'll take samples from F# and show that some higher order functions already exist in the base class libraries and you can use them today without having to reinvent any wheels.

Query Composition using Functional Programming Techniques in C# 3.0

Thu, 15 May 2008 17:01:02 GMT

This stuff is easy. It's also really fun. You don't have to read academic papers to learn about, enjoy, and benefit from functional programming in C# 3.0. There are about half a dozen concepts you need to learn, each one easy. Concepts like just a new way to write a method (that has no name), or a new way to write a static method for a class. Then you put them all together, and the result is more than the sum of the parts.

Building an F# powered indexing system (part 2)

Wed, 14 May 2008 02:01:02 GMT

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.

Yet Another Project Euler Series (YAPES)

Tue, 06 May 2008 18:31:02 GMT

For the past several months, I've been using F# to solve at least two Project Euler problems each week. I find this is a great way to sharpen my math skills and my F# skills simultaneously. If you're looking for a way to flex your programming muscles, you really should check out Project Euler.
