A few days ago, I opined that, "Web applications, as a class, are extremely easy to debug." I’m going to further explain why I think that is true by introducing a useful abstraction which you can employ when you are debugging a web application which doesn’t seem to do what is is intended to do.
When [...]
I’ll be speaking at the CodeRage III virtual conference, on the subject of functional programming in Delphi 2009. Here’s the (rather bland) abstract:
Delphi 2009 includes several new features well-suited to a functional style of programming. We’ll explore the use of generics, anonymous methods, and new RTL types while introducing concepts from functional programming.
If you’ve been [...]
My last series on Delphi 2009’s generics was self-consciously investigating a corner case. This post, however, is going to bring us back to Earth very quickly, so prepare for a steep descent! I’m going to implement a useful, higher-order function, Memoize, using Delphi 2009’s generics and anonymous methods.
Memoization is a generic solution to the problem [...]
This post is going to be short and sweet, because the point is very simple: If you use a functional programming language (and, if you want to learn to think outside of the Delphi box, you should), then you will be using garbage collection.
