I released a new meta programming club video yesterday on my YouTube channel

I thought I would write a little about it here on my blog too.

I recently did a little work to flesh out the plugin interface for Myriad. My friend Enrico Sada helped out with some of the fiddly MsBuild work in dotnet which can be a little confusing at times.

Applied Meta-Programming with Myriad

This article is all about F# metaprogramming and research that I did which evolved over time, firstly with a project called Falanx that I developed while working for Jet/Walmart, then later the ideas and concepts evolved into Myriad.

I saw my reflection and cried ...

While I was visiting Boston earlier in the year I had the misfortune of kicking myself in the teeth with reflection. It’s something all programmers inevitably go through with reflection API’s as they are inherently untyped, a simple typo can leave you tearing out your hair or punching through your monitor! Yeah there’s things the horizon that will help namely the nameof expression in C#6 which should help in some areas, that’s if your willing to pay the price of using C#, but I wont go into that here :-). In F# we can leverage Type Providers fairly easily to wrap API usages in cases that we are interested in, or even create a general usage with a little more effort.

Flux Compression (redux)

First of all the title, redux because I’m revising post I started on earlier in the year, compression because this has to do with compression, and Flux, which is also part of the redux, one of the first things I remember writing on the net was an article about Flux Compression Generators on H2G2, its still there too!
