IE8 and Chrome browser are almost touching the ubiquity level of Firefox browser. For me only two reasons brings me to it. First is common among all users is the tons of good Add-ons and second is simple page search ( “/” keyword) rather CTRL + F.
PDC 2008 was bold and beautiful with deep technical talks. I missed few things to catch when it came to changes in C# in support for functional and DSL (domain specific language) programming or Language Oriented Programming. Cloud computing reamined a lesson to learn however I kept updated for parallel programming changes.
Before the PDC 2009 starts, I decided to teach myself to understand F# language.
What if you get set of problem to not only brain-teasers but also to test your programming skills. I started solving Euler’s problem however I have a slow start.
Hop over Chris Smith’s blog or Don Dyme’s blog (Both worked for F# language and wrote book on F#) and blue eyed links here-there to land proper F# resources. (http://blogs.msdn.com/chrsmith/default.aspx)
