Over the last few years I've announced a number of project templates that are available on Visual Studio Gallery. A few of these have provided ways to kick-start F# WPF apps. I talked about one of these templates here. While these are nice for getting acquainted with building WPF apps in F# and...

A couple of weeks ago, I announced a CoffeeScript/JavaScript assertion library called ExpectThat. In this post, I'll provide a more real-world example of how ExpectThat can be used. For this example, I'll be using the jQuery plugin and tests from one of Josh Bush's posts entitled "Testing jQuery...

About a month ago, I announced that most of the existing F# project templates on Visual Studio Gallery had been updated to include support for Visual Studio 11. In that post, I mentioned some new item templates that had been included in the update to the F# XAML Item Templates extension...

My article entitled "An Introduction to FSharpx" was published a few days ago. You can find it at http://www.developerfusion.com/article/136179/an-introduction-to-fsharpx....

I'm a big fan of automated testing. In fact, on the rare occasions that I don't write tests, I find that I can't shake the thought that something has been missed....

A couple of weeks ago I announced a few enhancement to FsUnit. Today, I'm proud to announce the release of FsUnit 1.0. Version 1.0 includes support for additional testing frameworks, a new assertion function, and more......

A week or two ago, Fresh Brewed Coder Bryan Hunter posted a video to explain how to debug Erlang apps. In the tutorial, he stepped through a recursive function to display the various concepts.

There is a new project template available on Visual Studio Gallery for creating ASP.NET MVC 4 solutions with F# and C#. The current release of this project template allows creation of an empty ASP.NET MVC 4 web application (either ASPX or Razor), a F# project for controllers/models/etc., and an...

I've talked about testing CoffeeScript with Pavlov in a previous post. Today, I'm going to talk about a couple of ways to quickly get started with Pavlov--a BDD API that sits on top of QUnit--in an ASP.NET web app....

I love to learn about new technology, seek to continually improve, and always look for ways to make things easier. I then do all that I can to share the knowledge, code, and/or tools that help to achieve these goals. With these goals in mind, I've joined with several friends in the creation of a...

In this series, I plan to point out and provide a few examples of some cool syntactic sugar provided by CoffeeScript. In this post, I'll talk about destructuring assignment and splats....

If you have played with Visual Studio 11 much, you may have noticed that there isn't a F# Silverlight Library template out-of-the-box. This is presumably due to the fact that the current release of Visual Studio 11 is just a developer preview and there doesn't appear to be a version of F# 3.0 for...

There is a new F# Windows Phone Library project template now available on Visual Studio Gallery. This project template allows you to add a new F# library project to a Windows Phone solution rather than having to start with one of the solution templates that is initialized with both a C# and F#...

A Coder Interview With Dan Mohl by Terrence Dorsey (@tpdorsey) was recently published in the articles section of The Code Project site. In it, I talk about tools, technology, and frameworks that interest me (F#, CoffeeScript, Node.js, etc.), my background, how the community has influenced my...

This weekend, I finally got around to trying to build a polyglot Metro style app (C# front-end + F# back-end). This post will talk about the project file changes that were required and the one outstanding issue that I'm still working. Additionally, a VSIX package is provided that provides the F#...

There are two new NuGet packages available that can help you get started with authoring or consuming custom type providers. Both NuGet packages depend on the FSharpx.TypeProviders library that I wrote about in my last post and that Mauricio introduced in his most recent post....

Several days ago, I submitted my AppSettings Type Provider to the FSharpx project. FSharpx is an open source library that adds a number of useful "functional constructs on top of the core F# library". I strongly encourage checking it out....
