For those living under the scientist/math/geek/nerd radar, Pi Day is a celebration of the aforementioned famous constant that is hold on 14/03 every year (or as American would put it, 3/14 hence the catch). As always more information on the Wikipedia page. To celebrate a bit, I rewrote from memory the demonstration I was given [...]
Presentation Macdoc is the new Mono API documentation browser build entirely with MonoMac (Cocoa bindings for .NET). It has been recently shipped as part of the latest MonoDevelop beta for Mac users where it replace the excellent GTK+ version we use everywhere else. It was my first time hacking on any MonoMac app and along [...]
A little more than a month ago, I had the last university exams of (hopefully) my whole life, closing a 5 years period of a fun student life. At the end of this week, I’ll be back in Dublin (Ireland), a town I left a year ago to finish my master degree, where I will [...]
This summer I have been working again as a Google Summer of Code student for Mono. This time, I re-implemented another parallel-related library called TPL Dataflow. It’s still a research project at Microsoft and it has recently released a preview version of the framework which is designed to work well with the asynchronous features of [...]
It took around 20 years for CPU manufacturers to abandon the GHz war on the desktop and start going multicore. In the mobile space and only 3 years after the first Android smartphone, we are already seeing dual-cores phones (with quad-cores around the corner). Recent tablets are on the same boat. The brilliant thing is [...]

Initial reading on what is WebMatrix can be found on Scott Guthrie blog. After team WebMatrix was formed this week, I have reimplemented the Data part of WebMatrix, a cute layer on top of ADO.NET with support for the dynamic keyword (C# 4) so that you can directly call property equivalent to your column names. [...]
Once upon a time As a lot of people I started doing programming during my HTML days when I needed to add a bit of interactivity with some layers of PHP. Realizing that what I was coding was both ugly and useless, I moved on to other stuff and distanced myself from web development altogether. [...]
The past few weeks, I have given some cycles to test and ultimately make sure existing ParallelFx softwares from the .NET world could run on our Mono implementation. In the end, I selected three pieces of code that were using ParallelFx extensively: the Parallel Extensions sample gallery, Microsoft Biology Foundation and RavenDB (triggered by Rob [...]
Recently Dublin got busy with the first ever MeeGo conference being organized for developers. For 3 days, geeks invaded the shiny (and overly expensive) Aviva stadium for talks, fun and code. It was also a cool opportunity to meet up with some esteemed Novell colleagues. Among other goodness (hat off to the organizers for a [...]
