Welcome to part 1 A while back I read an interesting article by Brian McNamara f-async-on-the-server-side which describes C# and F# versions of a simple asynchronous socket server, one of the driving forces behind the article was how F# can wrap the traditional asynchronous model with Asynchronous Workflows, this produces nice clean simple code compared to the C# version which uses lambda expressions, the code looks quite ugly in this style!  However thats not the end of the story, a lot of memory fragmen[...]

Let me spend a couple of minutes explaining what Im going to be posting about, heres a little bit of background… First of all I’m a seasoned C# programmer, I develop enterprise business applications, mainly specialising in backend architectures, multithreading and generally poking about in the guts of things trying to wrangle out the last few drops of performance! At the beginning of last year I decided to catch up with some of the technologies that have reared their heads while I wasn’t looking, so I se[...]
