F# has become more prominent over the last few years and with it an insurgence of literature pertaining to the subject. For those of us who started using F# when it was a litt...
Its been a while since I talked about the DSA book but to summarise its had over 20,000 (first, second) downloads which has largely provoked me into taking the whole thing a lot more seriously for the...
I always use more than one monitor whether I am at work or home. Personally I dont feel that the support in Windows for more than one monitor is that bad, however I cant ever see the day when I drop U...
The updated version of the Data Structures and Algorithms book that Luca and I wrote is flying out once more! We are really very happy to see how many people are downloading our book. In total (counti...
I thought I would share my experiences with Rotor on Vista (x86 and x64). First off Rotor is an open source version of a big chunk of what's in the full commercial .NET that you use on your machin...
One of the great things that came out of the PDC for me was the confirmation that code contracts would be coming to .NET 4.0. I was a big fan of Spec# [1] but admittedly I never thought it would make ...

In this part of the series we look at the command pattern.
I've also seen that Sonu has posted in the article quick links to the previous articles in the series as well. While the articles are not...
I've used Vim for quite some time on Windows (yep, not quite a Vim purist...) however, I have never actually read a book on Vim. For those who don't know Vim is an awesome text editor with a r...
There is a pretty interesting architecture based on software pipelines that will at least allow your systems to utilize many-core processors in a far easier manner than other alternatives. This approa...
I for one am very happy that the next version of Visual Studio will finally embrace what some of us have been requesting for a long time now UML adoption. A few months ago I mentioned some stuff that...
As I mentioned several days ago Ive been seeing if a dark theme in VS would help my eyes a little. The short of it is no, no it didnt. The major sore point is that if you use a dark theme in VS then ...
I've been highly critical of using dark themes in Visual Studio particularly because the UI of VS is light in its very nature. The combination of the two proving to be an interesting proposition w...
Part 4 of the design patterns series I have been writing has just been published on DotNetSlackers. This part covers the singleton pattern. View it - Design Patterns - Part 4...
The third part of this series covers the factory pattern. View it - Design Patterns - Part 3 You may also be interested in part 1 (strategy), and part 2 (observer)....
An article I wrote for DotNetSlackers has just been published entitled Setting up a build environment. The article is based upon a pretty simple example that uses Subversion, TortoiseSVN, MSBuild, MSB...
Seems like ages I have waited for this moment, and now it is finally here I find myself with no time to actually mess around with it that much. I have really enjoyed using F# on and off for the last 1...
This is a little project that myself and Luca have been working on in our spare (spare) time in the last month or so. The book is no where near complete but we wanted to get it out there now and progr...
In the first part we looked at the strategy pattern, in part 2 of this design patterns series we take a look at the observer pattern. As I mentioned in a previous post this series is aimed more at dev...
I am a massive fan of both these tools. Now StyleCop 4.3 and FxCop 1.36 have been released. For a long time now FxCop 1.36 has been in Beta. I thought that maybe the standalone tool had been dropped ...
This paper which can be viewed in the July/August ACM Queue magazine I found quite interesting as I had noticed that both Apple (MacBook Air) and Dell (XPS range) now ship notebooks with solid state h...
I recently started writing a series on design patterns for DotNetSlackers. The series is aimed squarely at those who are new to design patterns. In the first part we cover the strategy pattern. At thi...
Download. Some stuff it includes: Some new WPF designer stuff (not sure what though - not really my area) ADO.NET Entity Designer Office MFC stuff (not sure if it also includes TR1, these two were bu...
I think I'm almost famous. I'm mentioned 10:47 - 12:25. The mentioning was in response to my Visual Studio vNext wish list. Check out the video....
My wish list for Visual Studio vNext isn't that long. The things I would like to see in Visual Studio vNext (I'm not that hopeful) are the following: A filtering intellisense members list box...
Over the years I have heard that some folk actually use partial classes to help assist in-team collaboration efforts, yet I have yet to meet such people. If you have a standard source control system t...
Myself and Luca are currently working on a free e-book that should be out near the end of the year, it will be a companion to the Data Structures and Algorithms project located on CodePlex. The book ...
Ive not watched many Channel 9 videos over the last few months, but every now and then some really good videos come along and I think this one is definitely in that category. A lot of the video is a...
I was just randomly browsing the web and came across a recent blog post by Giovanni Bassi (translated to English via Google) and saw that he had a few screens of the new functionality in the Visual St...
ASP/ASP.NET Im very happy to have received this award, hopefully my work in the future will receive the same welcome it has done in the past for the various sites, magazines, and projects I h...
Last time I checked R# 4 was in Beta, just randomly browsed to the download page for the nightly builds and see that R# 4 is RC3. I must say I am somewhat disappointed with JetBrains with regards to ...
I tend to use Octave for maths based stuff, including visualizing the plotting of functions and so on. Anyway to my point, I have found that GNU Plot as great a tool it is to be somewhat linear in its...
If you have installed the source analysis tool recently released by MS and have since tried to view the properties of a project then you will be greeted with the following error: An error occurred...
I missed this as I was doing a lot of work at the time (was release a few days back) as via Don's blog, and he has a post on it here. I gave it a quick install this morning and this release still doe...
I seem to remember this particular issue making some ground in terms of verbal noise a year or so ago (actually it was more like 3 years ago) and although I don't particularly find VS support for mult...
After using F# for a while I switched back to Haskell a few days ago (the project I was working on was done in Haskell a few years ago) and I must admit the explicit definition of a functions' type se...
I have found that .NET really lacks in this space, needless to say I've been scouring the web for a decent free UML designer. Annoyingly most of the free UML tools have heavy restrictions on there us...
I must say Sonu has to be congratulated on his success to lure the likes of Dino Esposito, Bertrand Le Roy, Alessandro Gallo, and more into writing for DotNetSlackers. The author list has to be among...
I've said it all before in recent posts, but here it is again - CPUSS is a framework that allows you to design and analyse CPU scheduling algorithms. Download CPUSS 1.0 There is a tonne of stuff in ...
Download CPUSS 0.9! In this release I have fixed a few things, as well as added a few new minor features to make analysis of scheduling algorithms a lot quicker, some of which include: CPU Utiliz...
Download CPUSS 0.8 Beta 2 Beta 2 is not really very revolutionary, however it does add some tooling support to CPUSS: CPUSS Report Generator (cpussrg.exe) CPUSSRG This is a little tool that a...
Download CPUSS A few new things in this release: Command line report generator Variance and standard deviation methods that take predicate functions as args Repeat runner Html report gen...
Just a quickie and a dead simple example, CPUSS is really easy to use with any managed language including C++/CLI, VB.NET and F# but I chose F# to create a real easy program to show the synergy betwee...
Download CPUSS 0.5 I got bored today (I really should be preparing for stuff I have coming up in the next few days!!) looking at random stuff in preparation for the next few days, so I broke off for ...
Download CPUSS 0.4 A fairly minor release with a little work cleaning the API up a little by reducing ambiguity (definition of ProcessLoad, and Pairs collections). Also added an event that allows yo...
The SJF Expert Rule strategy is designed to elevate the priority of large processes based on a precondition defined by the user, that basically says if the current % of processes in the ready queue is...
Data Structures and Algorithms (my project on CodePlex) has been an awesome success to date, and continues to grow with every increment and I couldn't be happier about it. First I must say that for m...
Download CPUSS 0.3 In this release the new features include: CPU Activity for each process (so you can perform more in depth analysis) Average wait time (average processes spent in the ready ...
For many this will no doubt induce a sigh of relief, we've all been there in moderately sized projects and then happened to see that the ncb file size seems to have grown exponentially - I don't think...
