Which functional programming language should I choose to learn? -

-

having programmed in c++ several years , having read hn several months, learn functional programming language expand/change way think writing programs. functional programming language should choose learn? python, ruby, haskell, others? nice have decent library support can write web based product using , host somewhere :). please advice.

it depends on eventual goal is. if you're interested in functional programming own sake, or want grasp of essentials, suggest haskell best bet. environment free download, has near-fanatical community of supporters, , 1 of "purest" functional programming languages, force adjust mindset functional way of programming. functional programming may sound little procedural programming, in reality quite different.

i'd recommend picking copy of "programming in haskell" graham hutton, excellent introductory text, downloading environment , having bash. there excellent lectures (based on book) available dr. meijer, haskell fan , functional programming researcher, available on microsoft's channel 9 site free download.

if interested more in applying functional programming commercial setting, idea of f#, though main benefit in using exists if plugged .net ecosystem. allows introduces sections of functional code existing oo programs.

even in case though, i'd recommend starting haskell. f# seems forgiving of procedural thinking, haskell forces reevaluate way think.

how set z-index drawing object when using drawingcontext.drawxxx() methods? the object drawn last have higher z index. can't change index of drawn objects. way draw in order. if using wpf (as placed tag), can use, example, canvas control. create shapes need like polyline obj = new polyline(); //... // ... set properties of obj and add them canvas uielementcollection: yourcanvasname.children.add(obj); //or yourcanvasname.children.insert(i, obj); first items of collection have higher z index. advantages in way: no need redraw on window changes, can anytime move objects , change order.

razor - Is this a bug in WebMatrix PageData? -

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...

(the array 7 rows 9 columns, btw). mov cx, 7; cx = number of rows outer: ; outer loop walk through rows push cx mov cx, 9 mov row, cx ;rows middle: ; middle-loop walk through columns push cx sub cx, 1 ;cx = cx-1 mov column, cx ;columns inner: ;inner loop - compare , exchange column values cmp marray[row*9 + column], marray[row*9 + column+1] xchg marray[row*9 + column+1], marray[row*9 + column] ; compare , exchange values marray table inc column loop inner pop cx loop mid...
