I spent a bit of time on Ayende’s blog today, finally catching up with a series of performance-related blog posts he made whilst working on the .Net profiler (the man’s a living legend, the quality AND quantity of his posts is without equal!) Whilst reading through the various posts, I came across an unfamiliar term …
When dealing with concurrency/threading issues in .Net, the normal approach is to use lock() to lock a dedicated sync object like this: This is an efficient, simple and well proven way to get thread-safety in .Net and is probably all you’ll ever need in your project. However, as this approach ensures only one thread can …

However, in …

I decided to take some time out on Silverlight and have a play around with Microsoft’s new language F#, I’ll be making notes as I go along and post them here so maybe they’d help satisfy some of your curiosity too! Disclaimer: I do not claim credit for the code examples and much of the …
Definition: Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm where each application can focus on its primary functions and core concerns by encouraging greater modularity and increasing separation of cross-cutting concerns (such as logging and authentication). Purpose: In any real-world applications, when you’re writing code to address the problem domain (say, booking an order) you …
I was having an email conversation with a friend on WPF yesterday and he suggested putting it into a blog post after I went on and on for a bit (sorry Raj!). Having spent some time learning Silverlight (which is a subset of WPF for the web, Microsoft’s equivalent of Flash) I have really come …
Following my previous post on multi-language (polyglot) and multi-paradigm (poly-paradigm) development, I thought I’d continue on the same thread for a little and do some comparisons on some of the popular types of programming languages.
