I thought it would be cool to learn another language, for a brain exercise, something different from C#, yet actually usable. So here comes the F#.
Trying to learn the syntax as I go along, and translating some C# code into F#. It may not be really idiomatic to F#, but its a start. Continue reading “F#: RPN Calculator”

Once in a while, it’s helpful to call a Hub method from a controller, responding to some server side event. Took me a while to figure this out, but in the end, this is easy.
DefaultHubManager hubManager = new DefaultHubManager(GlobalHost.DependencyResolver); var hub = hubManager.ResolveHub("AdminHub") as AdminHub; hub.SendMessage("woohoo");
One thing I don’t like is having to pass a hub name as a string – I think they should’ve asked for type. Easy enough to fix with a helper or extension method.
Wrote a new plugin that creates a menu on a right-click, just added it to the jquery site.
Checked a few similar plugins out there, and didn’t like them too much – some are too complex to configure, some didn’t look the way I wanted. I wanted something compact and simple, so wrote my own. Good exercise too.
