My thoughts exactly!!! Wow Charles ... this is awesome stuff! As you know, we (C9ers)
love the technical content!! Now I've gotta listen to the first interview with Yuri again!
I'm really looking forward to this one ... I'm downloading now ... Doug Crockford is the Anders of Javascript ... or maybe the Master Yoda of Javascript ... since he was formerly at Lucasfilm ... more prominent than even the creator of the language! Personally,
I wish MS had embraced YUI rather than JQuery .... but JQuery is veryy cool too!
Cmon ... this tutorial is excellent!! ...nothing here is 'hard to take'!!
He shows you (and explains!) every line of code ... if you wish to make this example 'more correct' just spend a few minutes .. adjust the example as you see fit and post about your experience! ...

True, but dont forget Andrew Kennedy!! We owe him a pint for generics too!
This is sensational!! I'm really looking forward to this! Thanks to the great Eric Meijer ... thanks to Don Syme for doing this series! and thanks to Charles for helping make it happen! We love technical content on channel9! Please keep it coming!
What an awesome idea! ... I'm surprised Eric has time to do this ... but glad he did!!! What a service for the .Net dev community! I have friends (and me too!) who've bought books about functional programming and have not been able to get through them.
This however, is just what is needed!!! FP is obviously a big deal and growing in importance .... mullticore, languages like Scala, FSharp and even CSharp.
There's a ton of other guest lecturers I would like to hear .... Andrew Kennedy, Simon Peyton Jones, Don Syme ... I'd love to hear Joe Duffy talk about using FP to enable Paralell Extensions for .Net!! The mind boggles ...
Thanks MS, thanks Charles and thanks Eric!!
PS: One request ... I havent listened to the recording yet ... however, it would be great if some of the examples were done in FSharp (rather than Haskell) only because quite a few of us are likely to actually use FSharp for work at some point and I doubt
many folks are gonna use Haskell for any real work anytime soon ... just my 02 cents.

Erik Meijer: Rebel with a Cause
The 'domain equation of the untyped lambda calculus' .... owwww ... my brain hurts!
Erik Meijer: Rebel with a Cause
Listening to Eric Meijer is always deeply informative and fun! This is no exception!
Thanks Eric!
C9 Lectures: Dr. Don Syme - Introduction to F#, 2 of 3
Has anybody purchased the Chris Smith book? (Programming F#: A comprehensive Guide -- isbn: 0596153643)
The are only a few reviews on Amazon (all positive) but I'd appreciate more comments and maybe a little bit more critical perspective before I buy.

Reactive Extensions API in depth: Contract
Thanks for the explanation!
Reactive Extensions API in depth: Contract
Wes .. (or someboyd else
)
You mentioned in the previous 'Subscribe' video that 'unSubscribe() methods in many event frameworks are not compositional' ...
Why??? What makes dispose() more compositional than unSubscribe()?
Could you explain?
Connected Show Podcast: Jon Skeet on C# 4.0
Jon Skeet is my favorite CSharp author ... Csharp in depth is my favorite CSharp book.
always interesting to hear views!
