Since posting a few of my last ideas, my brainhas beenrunning a few background threads on how else wecan utilize the functional programming when developing applications for .NET Compact Framework (and desktop as well) and take advandage of the power of the LINQ to improve the readability

. In our consideration of functional programming, let's not also make the mistake of confusing the tools... about doing it. Although this is a small example, it is very compelling. Functional programming took... guarantees. In fact, many functional programming books dedicate a significant portion

digging into functional programming. I’ve thought that as multi-core systems and massive datacenters become more prevalent, functional programming will become a necessity in order to scale. Just like Google... for a revival of functional programming. I have recently been on a kick learning as much as I can

in a natural and expressive way. The value of programming in the functional style has been apparent to me for some time. VB developers can realize the benefits of functional programming, so I’ve written a tutorial for VB developers: Query Composition using Functional Programming Techniques in VB 9.0

Continuing on this mental exercise that I started in my last post. In this post I started throwing some ideas on how we can utilize the features of C# 3.0 language enhancements (or how it’s fashionable to call it now “functional programming”) in the way we handle WinForms. Here is another idea

The phrase: "Is this it?" has to be read as "Is this what functional

Our Microsoft Research team in Cambridge, UK have recently spoken with the kids over at Channel 9 about their functional language, F#. If you're interested in programming in a functional way rather than imperative (looking a the world through function-coloured glasses!) then you should check out
