This week we find ourselves with a wide range of topics from the fundamental to the advanced.  Do enjoy.

Matthew Podwysocki’s Post: Functional Programming Fundamentals Lectures

Earlier this year, I had the privilege to record a Channel 9 video session covering functional programming basics with Erik Meijer and Charles Torre.  We covered some of the basics, but at some point you need to go back to the fundamentals in order to truly learn this paradigm.  With that, Erik with the help of Charles, have kicked off the Channel 9 lecture series on Functional Programming Fundamentals.
