New Day Job

I start my new job at MediaSauce on Monday the 13th. I've been in between gigs for the last few weeks and took the time with my boys instead of coding.  I'm a bad programmer but a happy daddy.

JavaScript should be your favorite language

So you think you're really cool because you're hardcore and know everything there is about PHP or C# or C++ or VB or Perl or Ruby or Python or ColdFusion or Java or ActionScript or..  I should stop right?  The thing is, as developers we've been coding in all these other languages to fit the phone, desktop, server and platform we think is best.  But we were wrong.  There is no "best" or "favorite" platform.  We shouldn't have been writing Flash apps.  We shouldn't have been writing Silverlight or Windows or Mono or XNA or Java apps.  We should have been writing HTML5 apps this whole time.  Don't get me wrong.  I don't thing that the debate of standards based apps vs native apps is over.  I think it's going to go nuclear.  Soon their will be iOS , Windows , Ubuntu , Chrome , Android , Blackberry , Firefox OS , and more to come.  They (I assume) will all probably be a little different but there will be ways to write in just HTM...

Why I won't be registering as a blogger in the state of Florida.

I'm disseminating this information to you in possible violation of a law written 1000 miles away. At the discretion of some official in Florida they may decide that I owe them money and fine me for not registering with that official. I also must tell them how much money I make off my blog post. It's just pennies by the way. https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1316  This proposed law is as stupid as the book bans. Just like the banned books, nobody is being forced to read this blog. A person has to seek this blog out. You don't have to finish reading a bo...

Cool new stream about F# from LaylaCodesIt

Image
There was a cool new series about F# on Twitch today.  It was fun to see and I haven't used F# in a long time. I felt like it was my first time while watching the stream. https://www.twitch.tv/laylacodesit  Here is my code inspired by Layla and Alyssa. https://gist.github.com/trendoid/ad4c5f3b58fc09c6a0ee472a0fd869d6 or if you want the whole project... https://github.com/trendoid/FsharpConsoleApp It just reads from a text file and prints the contents out to the console. // For more information see https://aka.ms/fsharp-console-apps printfn "Console App: Started!" open System.IO let baseDirectory = __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ let filePath = "Text.txt" let fullPath = Path.Combine(baseDirectory, filePath) let readFilesTask (path1) =   task {     let! content = File.ReadAllTextAsync(path1)     return content   } printfn "Content: %s" (readFilesTask(fullPath).Result)
