A couple months ago I wrote<\/a> that my Internet Computing column, “Toward Integration,” was going to end. Indeed it did, but I’m very pleased to report that I’ve replaced it with a whole new column entitled “The Functional Web.”<\/p>\n

The inaugural column is imaginatively titled “Welcome to ‘The Functional Web'”<\/a> and it provides the background for what I plan to cover in the column going forward. All signs indicate that functional languages are garnering significant interest these days. At QCon last week<\/a>, for example, it seemed like everyone was talking about them, and Real World Haskell<\/a><\/em> didn’t just win a Jolt Award<\/a> for nothing. Most of my work these days involves web development with Erlang<\/a>, and given my general interest in functional programming, the combination of these two areas seemed like the perfect direction for a new column.<\/p>\n

If you’re a functional programmer working in the web space and have a knack for writing, drop me an email<\/a>. If you’ve got a good proposal, I’d be happy to either co-author something with you or have you serve as a guest columnist for an issue.<\/p>\n

Finally, I’d like to thank the readers of “Toward Integration” very much for sticking with me for the past seven years. That’s a long time, but rest assured your many positive comments and your feedback kept me going — I deeply appreciate it. I really hope you’ll join me for “The Functional Web” and that you’ll keep that excellent feedback coming — it’s going to be interesting and I guarantee we’re all going to learn a few things along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
