Next week I will be presenting a lightning talk at the next Rockville .NET Users Group (RockNUG) on Functional C#. I've talked about this topic quite a bit recently on a couple of threads now: Functional C# Revisited - Into the Great Void Functional...

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...

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#,...

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...

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...
