1 hour, 7 minutes, 9 secondsBrian Beckman: Don't fear the MonadFunctional programming is increasing in popularity these days given the inherent problems with shared mutable state that is rife in the imperative world. As we march on to a world of multi and many-core chipsets, software engineering must evolve to better equip software engineers with the tools to… -
1 hour, 3 minutes, 4 secondsBrian Beckman: Hidden Markov Models, Viterbi Algorithm, LINQ, Rx and Higgs BosonIt's been WAY too long since we've had Brian Beckman sharing knowledge, insights and perspectives on Channel 9. This changes now! Needless to say, I was incredibly happy to spend an hour with Brian learning all about what he's up to these days. Not surprisingly, he's writing code and employing… -
57 minutes, 23 secondsThe Lambda Calculus, General Term Rewriting and Food NutritionBrian Beckman and Erik Meijer are back with another episode of BMO! In this installment, Brian and Erik spend some time explaining the Lambda Calculus and most of the time digging into a real world application of general term rewriting. The Lambda Calculus is a specialized… -
52 minutes, 58 secondsLINQ - Composability GuaranteedIt's been far too long since we've brought Erik Meijer and Brian Beckman together on Channel 9. Today marks the end of a drought and the beginning of more regular appearances by the dynamic duo. The band is back together! Introducing a new Channel 9 series - Beckman Meijer Overdrive. One of the… -
53 minutes, 56 secondsExpert to Expert: Rich Hickey and Brian Beckman - Inside ClojureClojure is a dynamic programming language created by Rich Hickey that targets both the Java Virtual Machine and the CLR. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust… -
1 hour, 13 minutes, 3 secondsExpert to Expert: Brian Beckman and Erik Meijer - Inside the .NET Reactive Framework (Rx)Erik Meijer and team (developer Wes Dyer, in particular) have created a profound and beautiful .NET library that will take managed event based programming to new levels. Of course, many of you wish that you could write LINQ expressions over events. Well, now you can thanks to Erik's and Wes… -
18 minutes, 41 secondsWhat is a database, really?Alice wanders down a rabbit hole one day and finds Erik Meijer and Brian Beckman in the C9 studio. What's going to happen? What does she find? There's a plastic mouse, a hard drive, a hammer, database acid, a whiteboard and a couple geniuses in very rare form. Erikand Brian… -
42 minutes, 14 secondsBrian Beckman: The Zen of Stateless State - The State Monad - Part 1Concurrency is a problem that faces all developers as we move to the age of ManyCore processor architectures. Managing state is an important aspect of programming generally and for parallel programming especially. The great Brian Beckman demonstrates three ways of labeling a binary tree with… -
1 hour, 13 minutes, 5 secondsBrian Beckman: The Physics in Games - Real-Time Simulation ExplainedEver find yourself wondering about the math behind your favorite simulation game? Did you know that the motion physics of a car are much more complicated than the those of an airplane? Brian Beckman, physicist, programmer and Channel 9 celebrity (he's been on C9 a few times...), sure does.… -
Brian Beckman: Monads, Monoids, and MortBrian Beckman is a fascinating individual. Ex-cosmologist, ex-military operating system and simulation developer (have you ever considered processes that move both forward and backward in time? Well, Brian and team at JPL created just that. He explains in this interview...). Brian was one of…
