Because of the success of my article on java closure, I have decided to write another article on functional programming.
In the last year functional programming is waving back to us, for a lot of reason. Let’s summarize the facts:
Functional programming is based on the core concept of pure function. The main advantages of functional programming is the lack of side-effects, at least at the syntax-level of the language.

In the past week I learned Flask, a very young and promising python framework. I have already learned Django, Cherrypy, Web2Py and TurboGears.
Anyway, if you are planning a medium sized project, I like to suggest you Flask, because of these feature:

At Gioorgi.com we are not a true cloud fan, and reality is going on to collect proofs for us…
On June 20, 2011, Dropbox had a serious security bug. It was possible to login to an account with “a wrong password”. Like to say Dropbox account system was naked, because “a small number of users[…] could have logged into an account without the correct password”!

I Fatti
Pisapia, il candidato di sinistra (e non tanto di centro 
ha vinto a Milano con il 55,1% delle preferenze.
A Napoli, è stata premiata una coalizione vicina a quella uscente ma distinta, e De Magistris con oltre il 65% delle preferenze avrà parecchia liberta di manovra poiché potrà contare su una maggioranza solida, composta da persone fedeli al suo partito.
Pisapia è stato scelto durante le primarie del centro sinistra, ed ha battuto il candidato moderato Boeri.
L’Italia dei Valori, di cui fa parte De Magistris, non ha mai risparmiato a Berlusconi una critica feroce e circostanziata.

Inversion of Control (IoC) is a very good idea.
But as the clever Joel Spolsky noted, sometimes you need to be a super-natural hero to use it:
… I try not to be judgemental (HAHA!), but I think that people who use IoC containers are (A) very smart and (B) lacking in empathy for people who aren't as smart as they are. Everything makes perfect sense to them, so they have trouble understanding that many ordinary programmers will find the concepts confusing. It's the curse of knowledge. The people who understand IoC containers have trouble believing that there are people who don't understand it. …

Inspired by this excellent web post “Ruby or Python? Well, it depends...”,
I agree with it at 100%:Ruby or Python? This is the Question! Well it might not be the Question, but it’s a common question for many developers looking to break free from the statically typed language they know and learn a dynamic language. I personally know them both(though I know a bit more Ruby, than Python) and in this article I’ll share my personal opinion on their strengths and weaknesses. You’d probably do good to learn them both, but my arguments here may lead you to pick only one of the languages depending on you preferences.
