A Short Introduction to Monads
Quite a nice introduction to monads, one of the main concepts used in functional programming.
New Django migrations
A really worth seeing presentation about the database migration stuff developed in the new Django. This is not released yet, but can be used with the newest Django. I’ve checked it, and the migrations are much easier than with South.
Virtualenv Tutorial Part 2
The First Version of This Tutorial
A couple of years ago I wrote a simple article about the virtualenv. A kind of a very basic tutorial showing how to use the Python Virtual Environment with different versions of Python like Python 2, and Python 3.
Since then I’ve changed how I work with the virtualenvs, so here is a more updated version of the tutorial. A better way of managing the environments.
In this tutorial I will show you how to create a Virtual Environment, manage it, install different libraries, and use different Python versions in each of them.
Quite interesting point of view on Haskell
Another noteworthy Haskell benefit is performance. Silk credits Haskell for getting them to market in less than half the time it would have taken otherwise. Haskell allowed them to concentrate more on innovation and actual programming, and much less on repetitive testing and debugging. If an early-stage startup has a $100,000 per month burn rate, this acceleration could be the difference between life and death.
