		<title>The Language Wars Rage On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Should a VB6 shop start using VB.NET, or should they switch to C#? In addition to my business, I work for a county-level government agency in Florida. Our legacy system is a 1.2-million-line steaming pile of VB6. While it works (for limited definitions of &#8220;works&#8221;), there&#8217;s no way we&#8217;re going to be able to maintain [...]]]></description>

		<title>Respect the Pomodoro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be the first to admit that my greatest weakness is time management. I&#8217;m a procrastinator extraordinaire. (If you doubt me, simply check the time between posts on this very blog.) I find it difficult to get started on a huge project if I know the project is going to be huge up front. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Project Euler Problem 14</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last 36 hours, off and on, I&#8217;ve been working on solutions to Project Euler problems, just to learn some F#. I started at the beginning and have been working my way up, as the difficulty increases. So far, I&#8217;ve solved problems 1-10, 14, 47, and 243. Problem 9 doesn&#8217;t really count as I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rough Edges</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My copy of Programming F# arrived a few days ago, and I&#8217;ve been reading it in my spare time. In doing so, I&#8217;ve noticed a few oddities in the language. That isn&#8217;t to say that it isn&#8217;t a great language; it&#8217;s just clear that the integration between ML and the .NET framework is not entirely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fledgling Forays in F#</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, to start learning F#, I searched for existing F# code. One of the first snippets I found was the sieve of Eratosthenes in many languages, including F#. Except the listed F# &#8216;sieve&#8217; wasn&#8217;t; it did an exhaustive search from 2 to Math.Sqrt(int_of_float n) for every element n. I thought, &#8220;Even as a beginner, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying To Think Functionally</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot. [Eric S. Raymond] I, for one, know that I&#8217;m only partially enlightened. When I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome, All</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a GIS (ew), VB.NET (double ew) and C# developer by trade, a general-purpose code monkey at heart, and always trying to learn new things. But I don&#8217;t want to learn on my own. So, I&#8217;m inviting everyone to join me as I try to teach myself what&#8217;s truly important in code.]]></description>
