Byte Size Server explores how the Byte Size Architecture pattern can transform web development by breaking down complex systems into manageable, focused components. Learn how edge computing, WebAssembly, and WASI platforms enable developers to build scalable applications without overwhelming complexity.
This blog post revisits Fable's architecture and performance, demonstrating how Fable2 delivers significant improvements in code generation and JavaScript optimization. Through practical examples of F# type compilation, discover how the new compiler achieves smaller output with better tree shaking capabilities.
An in-depth exploration of Fable 1.0's architecture and performance capabilities ahead of the 2.0 release. The author shares lessons from converting large JavaScript applications to typed languages, emphasizing why frontend development demands architectural discipline and examining Elmish patterns for building scalable single-page applications.
This post explores building reactive services with Servicestack and F#, tracing the evolution from traditional page refreshes to modern real-time systems powered by WebSockets and Server-Sent Events. Discover how bidirectional server-client communication enables truly responsive applications following the reactive manifesto.
This post explores the command pattern through functional programming, comparing traditional C# implementation with F# functional approach. You'll discover how treating functions as first-class citizens makes command pattern code more concise and elegant, with insights into CQRS and Event Sourcing.
The author shares their experience moving from Sencha Touch to PhoneJS for cross-platform mobile development. Learn why overly complex frameworks can hinder productivity and what alternatives offer better developer experience.
Functional programming is often overlooked in web development, but it's increasingly vital as projects grow larger and more complex. This article explores why functional programming, with its built-in features like immutability, is the ideal solution for managing state in multi-processor environments and building scalable web applications.
Ruby on Rails transformed web development by introducing strong conventions and structure that influenced frameworks across all languages. Learn why even non-Ruby developers benefit from understanding Rails' philosophy and approach to building scalable applications.
This article challenges common Entity Framework usage patterns and argues that many developers are implementing it incorrectly. The author explains why simply mapping databases without leveraging EF's core features creates unnecessary overhead and demonstrates why understanding the difference between demos and production environments is critical.
This post explores the journey from basic Object-Oriented Programming to advanced design patterns and software architecture. The author shares personal experiences of how proper OOP implementation and design patterns transformed 14,000 lines of problematic code into 700 lines of elegant, working solutions.
This technical article explores the dangers of improper ORM usage in large enterprise applications, using real-world examples from LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework. The author discusses how monolithic edmx files and naive ORM implementations can cripple performance and maintainability in projects with thousands of tables and multiple modules.
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is revolutionizing how applications are built and accessed across multiple devices and platforms. This post explains how SOA separates user interface from business logic and enables true interoperability between different technologies like .NET and Java, making development more efficient.
