  • Composable WCF Web API using Async

    A functional wrapper around the new WCF Web APIs (http://wcf.codeplex.com/). Composition is achieved through the use of the HttpRequestMessage -> Async signature. Pushing the app calls in the MessageHandler intercepts all requests and allows you to take control at the earliest point possible before operation selection occurs. Extending this slightly to call the innerChannel's SendAsync would allow you to create a middleware layer that would work both with this and other, normal Web API services.

  • Continuation-Passing Mnemonics

    Continuations provide a means whereby heap space can be traded for stack depth (heap space being generally more plentiful than stack depth). They are especially useful where tail recursion is not possible. Here are a couple of simple continuation examples that can be extended to cover more complex scenarios.
