		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;In this episode, Richard Minerich tells why the language developers use can have a huge impact on their productivity. New high level languages, like F# (one of Richard&#8217;s favourite languages), free engineers from much of the traditional drudgery leading to faster development cycles and better quality.&#8221; I recently had the pleasure of being a guest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just this past Saturday I gave a completely new talk at the third Code Camp Hartford.  This talk was inspired by a previous mid-talk realization: most C# programmers (and almost the entirety of my audience) have never written a single lambda expression or anonymous delegate.  From this I further realized that I’d never be able [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friend, and fellow Professional F# 2.0 author, Ted Neward recently challenged me to a bit of a Code Kata.   Take a list of numbers and compress it in a particular simple way but without any mutable state.  What makes this problem interesting is that a tech interviewer mentioned that that he hadn&#8217;t seen a functional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was catching up on reading one of my favorite blogs today, Lambda the Ultimate, and was not disappointed in the least.  At the top of the list sat Code Bubbles, a whole new take on the IDE.  Code Bubbles shocked me because it's visually manifest much of what I had in mind when I wrote almost two years ago on leaving flat files behind.  That said, I think Code Bubbles has a long way to go before it's a reasonable platform to choose for active development.  ]]></description>
