Just a quick note to say that my talk “The Combinator Approach to Programming Domain Specific Languages with F#” is now available on Skills Matter site. I’ve put the code on github. If you enjoyed the talk I’ll be giving it again at CodeKen, the conferen[...]

I covered email tracking a little when I wrote about how we parse PowerMTA account files but I didn't go into what we actually do with our delivered / bounced data. We track the current status of an email as: updated, valid, bouncing or invalid. An [...]

This article discusses two numeric types that are available in F# PowerPack - BigRational represents arbitrary precision rational numbers and complex represents (floating-point) complex numbers. The types can be nicely used from F# as well as from C#.

This article is the first article of a series where I'll explain some of the F# features that are useful for numeric computing as well as some functionality from the F# PowerPack library.

For those in the UK or Europe, there are a set of F# tutorials at SkillsMatter in London on Thursday and Friday this week (Nov 3-4) Please pass this along to those who need to know.     Thanks Don                            

Clojure provides a nice, consistent interface for logging via clojure.tools.logging (one of the new, modular contrib libraries). It automatically wraps slf4j, commons logging, log4j and java.util.logging but you can override the implementation, if needed.[...]

I started reading Coders at Work last week, and the interviews with Simon Peyton-Jones and Peter Norvig reaped an idea that doctest, contracts.coffee, and focco sowed and cultivated. What’s the idea? Type systems are nothing more than a formal implementat[...]
