Introduction Want to use Docker to develop Fable applications? What if I told you it isn’t all that difficult? TLDR; How to user Docker with Fable. Docker So the first step with Docker images is that you check whether a suiting image that fits your needs already exists. When I checked Docker Hub for any recent images with the Fable tool chain I didn’t really find anything that works with Fable 1.x. I accepted the fact that I would have to create the image myself. If you check the docs for requirements, we’ll need: .NET Core Node js Mono Docker compose……

Introduction 2016 for me personal was the year the I came in serious contact with functional languages. I started looking at F#, applied functional concepts (partial application, immutability, pure functions and so on) in JavaScript, gave RxJS a shot and fell in love with React.

Introduction Nowadays I’m into PHP & Docker. Yep that’s right this .NET boy is going wild!

So initially the first three images are shown and the rest are hidden. slideshow example You press the right button to move forward and the left to move backwards. Of course at the beginning of the slideshow you can’t move backwards. Thus the left button is hidden. Once you……

Introduction Lately I’ve been using a lot of Reactjs goodness in my side projects. React is only the V in a modern day MVW (Model, View Whatever) pattern and that’s an interesting subject. Facebook uses its own Flux library/pattern/architecture to cope with the other stuff, however there seem to be a lot of different opinions when it’s comes to flux. One of those flux variants is Redux, created by Dan Abramov and others. If you never heard of Redux or don’t really know how it works, I suggest you watch these videos first. In this blogpost I’ll explain a……
