An unconventional overview of this release of RadDiagram, through the people who made it happen. »

About the scalability of diagramming using Telerik’s RadDiagram framework. »

Somewhere early 2013 a wonderful book entitled “F# in practice” will be available and I got the opportunity to write a chapter for it about the usage of F# when dealing with sociograms and social network analysis. Obviously this is a lot about graphs and graph analysis but also about the Twitter API and visualization. Below is the introduction which I reproduce here to give you an idea of what the rest of the chapter is. Along with the text there is also a rather large amount of code I’ll make available. »

In a previous article I highlighted how Haskell and F# have a peculiar way of turning a quite generic mathematical idea into something more tangible (and more usable too) for programming purposes. This article is somewhat the inverse, it highlights how monads (in F#) are just one example in a zoo of algebraically related structures. In essence, monads are closely related to categories (cfr. the Kleisli triple in previous article) and a category is a doorway to, well, a whole universe of well-known stuff. By ‘well known’ I don’t mean necessarily easy stuff, rather that it’s an established field of research (cobordism, braids, theory of abstract languages, DNA topology, quantum fields, whatnot) and I want to give you a taste of how things look like when looked through the category microscope. »

Plans and features for the 2012 Q3 release. »

This is an article to stir your curiosity about monads, categories and functional programming (and even more in ‘A kaleidoscope from F# and monads‘ ). I didn’t try to make it mathematically correct and it’s not a precise treatment of monads from the functional programming point of view. It’s only to help you understand and appreciate the unifying power of monads as they appear in the context of F# and Haskell. »
