In this article, we look at the internals of asynchronous programming models in F# and a future version of C#. We compare the compilation in C# (based on state machines) and the compilation in F# (based on combinators) and we look at advantages and disadvantages of both of the approaches.

In this article, we'll look at type that implements an (asynchronous) blocking queue using F# agents. This can be used, for example, when implementing the pipeline pattern as demonstrated in the previous article.

In this article, we look at an F# implementation of an image processing pipeline demo from the Parallel Programming with Microsoft .NET. We'll use message-passing and asynchronous workflows, which leads to a more elegant and similarly efficient code.

I think that one of the interesting things about C# 3.0 is that it gives you the ability to use many techniques known from functional languages...
