I am looking for a job - had to get that out of the way.
Did Electrical Engineering up to grad school. Got into programming and loved it. Now I wished I had a CS degree instead :)
I am interested in WPF, F#, XAML, C#, Lambda Calculus, Haskell. I hope in the near future I can pick up IronPython, Erlang and peek at Newspeak as well [fingers crossed!]

Getting Started with Rx Extensions for .NET
Nov 19, 2009 at 1:23 PMI finally had a chance to look at some of the Rx vids - esp the one with Brian Beckman and the two part Rx under the hood - it is pretty cool stuff. Time to play with the bits and see what is going on here. Thanks for your work on this everyone, I wish I can be there
C9 Lectures: Dr. Erik Meijer - Functional Programming Fundamentals, Chapter 3 of 13
Oct 15, 2009 at 10:56 AMWell it's the good kind of pimping and that is a nice cheat sheet. I will definitely reference it when my memory fails to remember some construct that I know would be simple in the first place
