Because of some perceived complexities and the mathematical background in functional programming, developers get bogged down while learning and putting it into practice. As a matter of fact, few people give up after some initial attempts. But it is not as much harder as we think. It is just different!
In one of the fsharp project that I was part of in early this year, we encountered an interesting scenario where we need to do serialisation of a fsharp record type from the query string (and multi-part form) in Suave, and the out of the box model binding support didn’t suit our requirements.
So, we rolled out our own, and the solution came from a library which was not intended to solve this problem.
Hello there!
Almost eight years back Tomas Petricek wrote a blog post introducing BlockingQueueAgent and followed it up with another blog post on how to apply it to solve an Image Processing problem using the pipeline concurrency pattern.
In this blog post, we are going to learn how to port this example using Hopac's BoundedMb abstraction, aka Bounded Mailbox.
Image processing pipeline As defined by Tomas in his blog post, the image processing pipeline works as depicted in the below image.
In the last blog post, we processed the messages from IBM-MQ and relayed the information to the marketplace. In this blog post, we are going to focus on adding cron jobs to our existing infrastructure. The cron jobs pull the data from the marketplace, perform some transformation and send it to the Order Management System(OMS) via IBM-MQ.
This blog post is a part 8 of the blog series Building an E-Commerce Marketplace Middleware in Clojure.
In this seventh part of the blog series Building an E-Commerce Marketplace Middleware in Clojure, I am going to share how we captured a business operation from the client’s Order Management System(OMS) processed it in a marketplace.
Ranging is an activity in the OMS that turn on the visibility of an item in a marketplace and make it available for sale. The reverse operation is Deranging, which unlist the item from the marketplace.
It helps you to learn how to build a real-world, production-ready, end-to-end web application in F# using the functional programming principles by developing a Twitter clone from scratch.
