Programming

While in Copenhagen recently, I was able to spend some time with computer scientist Peter Sestoft. He's currently a professor at the Copenhagen IT University and he and colleagues have created an awesome collection library for managed code (CLI), C5.C5 is a library of generic collection classes…

Boku is a programming development "game" for children that comes out of Microsoft Research (we took a look at Boku at TechFest '07.) It allows children, ages 5 and up, to apply programming elements and rudimentary scripts to characters in the Boku world. Jon Udell spoke with Matt…

The Microsoft Development Center in Copenhagen (MDCC) recently held it's second TechFest. Each year (this is year two of TechcFest) the good folks at MDCC put on a show where local (Denmark and other northern European countries) innovators show off their wares. I was lucky enough to spend a day…

Functional programming is increasing in popularity these days given the inherent problems with shared mutable state that is rife in the imperative world.
