Silverlight and WCF Real Basics

So I am not a web developer! I have never been one but Silverlight keeps popping in my head as the next big thing on the Microsoft stack and I would hate to “miss the boat” (I am sure some C developer said that 10 years ago as well).

What happened to Community Credit

I noticed recently that I have stopped receiving community credit emails whenever I post a new blog. I just wanted to know with any other geekwithblogs bloggers if there is some setting that has changed in the last month or so to cause this?

F# - Euler Problem 9

Another day flown by… another Euler problem to tease me… today I attempted problem 9.

F# – Euler Problem 8

Today I had some more spare time to give Euler a go and thought I would try my luck on problem 8.

F# – 5 Best practices for F# (Practice 3)

In line with Daniel Mohl’s presentation, the third best practice for F# is Tail Recursive Functions. I must admit, while I did go over recursion several years ago, I never heard (or possibly ignored) any mention of tail recursive functions… so what exactly is a tail recursive function?

F# - Euler Problem 7

These last few days I attempted Euler Problem 7. It has been an interesting experience since it is the first real Euler problem that I initially attempted to tackle recursion for a solution but eventually bypassed as I found what I considered a simpler way to solve the problem.

F# – 5 Best practices for F# (Practice 1)

Daniel Mohl put up a great slide presentation on the 5 best practices for F#. Since I am new to the language I thought I would go through each practice and explore it a bit as separate posts.

F# – Depressingly simple text file access

Today I was doing some work work and kept having to parse a log file. After a few hours of doing the same routine stuff I thought I might try and automate it using F#.

Programming Contemporary Concepts UNISA studies begin – Chap 1

Today I thought I would start the second semester of my UNISA studies, and after some psyching up I eventually pulled out the study guidelines and made a study schedule. By chance my Contemporary Concepts course is due first, thus this post.
