<p>
The most important thing in Computer Science : "Data and functions" - Rich Hickey.
From the user perspective also, data is the only thing he can own and understand.
</p>
<p>
The more the programmer give to the end-user the more powerful the software is.
Because the power not resides anymore inside the code.
</p>
<p>
I will present some real world examples to demonstrate how clojure can help people to build their own application.
Let's make data really open.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-2" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-2">Music as Data</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2">
<p>
Describe a complete piece of music as plain data. Play it and record it. Easy to share as just plain data.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-3" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-3">World Wide Web as Data</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-3">
<p>
Most web sites provide a single view of their data : HTML pages.
HTML pages intricate text, image, video, audio content.
</p>
<p>
Some web sites provide API, but it can never match what user wants.
</p>
<p>
Give scraping capabilities to the user : let him choose the data he wants from the WWW to build his own feed aggregators.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-4" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-4">dataQuery</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4">
<p>
Describe your data sources (DB, excel, xml, csv files) in terms of dimensions and measures. And then join, project, aggregates as you want.
<a href="https://github.com/maxrzepka/dataQuery">https://github.com/maxrzepka/dataQuery</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-5" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-5">Photogram</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-5">
<p>
Make image manipulation simpler : give ImageMagick to everyone. No need of complex GUI to express what you want.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-6" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-6">Book as Data</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-6">
<p>
Separate the content of your slides from the presentation (keynote , impress.js , pdf …).
</p>
<p>
The Separation of concerns is a good practice for the programmer as well as for the user.
</p>
<p>
Any book is a graph of smaller pieces (text, image, code, sound, video, graph). Based on this graph, you can decide in which format you want see your book.
Having this clear separation makes for example multi-language support simpler.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-7" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="sec-7">Application as Data</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-7">
<p>
The next step is to let him own his application : services like storage, authentification, HTML template are just functions on data.
</p>
<p>
Users create their own applications because data runs code.
</p>
<p>
Let the user have his own IT company.
