Pulling data from USASpending.gov

So i found this great post by doug finke on his blog where he has show implementation for retrieving data from usaspending website using Power Shell and LinqToXml here are my implmentation on C# and F#

 

 

 

 

here is F# implementation.

 

MapReduce in F#

I came across the following link on MapReduce implementation in F#

http://www.twine.com/item/1229c60s4-4q/exploring-mapreduce-with-f

Also Microsoft is working on C# implementation known as LINQ to DataCenter.

For those who don’t know MapReduce should think twice as anyone using google search is the user of MapReduce algorithm.

Wikipedia has clear explanation of the MapReduce http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce
