Hi, I'm Keith Battocchi, and I'm working on making it easier to use F# for data-rich programming. In my first blog post, I want to highlight some of the basic features of the FSharpChart wrappers that Don blogged about earlier this month. As Don mentioned, this library contains F#-friendly wrappers for the types in the System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting namespace, making it easy to interactively chart data from F# Interactive (see also the Chart Controls section of MSDN for further informa...

This is my first "from scratch" ASP.NET MVC application, so I've been learning some MVC and jQuery tricks along the way. Here's a partial screenshot of the "new order" screen to refresh your memory: You'll notice that each silo has a "capacity", and I wanted to be able to limit the item quantity to that value. No sense in allowing a farm to order mo... (more)

Tuesday, April 12, 2011 9:01:54 PM GMT Wednesday, April 06, 2011 3:30:34 PM GMT
As the word “code-first” implies, the EF 4.1 offers a code centric data programming paradigm. From a coder’s point of view, it requires little effort to map a very clean object model to a database. This style of programming is idea for explorative, bottom-up kind fsharp programmers. Since EF 4 CTP4 release, there have already been many buzzes. The following two blogs have in-depth EF 4.1 feature overview... (more)

I have been designing apps for a while now, including apps that target lots of different devices and form factors. I thought it would be good to write a list of the top 10 things I keep in mind when designing and building phone applications. Most of these apply to any application in some way though. These points cover both the design of the experience and some visual tricks that help to make usable apps.1. Considering the user. This might seem like an obvious point, but it's probably the most important ... (more)

If you've been in this business for any length of time you've undoubtedly seen some of the vast literature on "design patterns" -- you know, those standard solutions to common problems with names like "factory" and "observer" and "singleton" and "iterator" and "composite" and "adaptor" and "decorator" and... and so on. It is frequently useful to be able to take advantage of the analysis and design skills of others who have already given considerable thought to codifying patterns that solve common problem... (more)
