Friday, April 3 2015 as a part of the Mission Creek Tech Innovation Conference. All day event.
Check out the Sticker Collage to see what all stickers you can collect at the event.
- Gain familarity with Clojure(Script).
- Learn about functional programming.
- Learn about the Clojure(Script) ecosystem (bootstrapping apps).
- REPL based development.
- Develop a simple program or a web-app.
- Go home with 20% of what we went through and may be gain insights into better problem solving.
- Learn how to edit LISP (s-expersions using ParEdit).
- Learn how to write web-apps using Reagent (react.js with a ClojureScript wrapper around it).
- A computer with Vagrant installed on it.
- Some programming experience (e.g. knowledge of concepts like variables, conditionals, loops, functions).
- Some Experience with using the Terminal.
- LightTable installed. This can be used for experimentation or as a full on development environment.
- Optional but highly recommended : Cursive, you would need to install IntelliJIDEA Community Edition to get this to work.
- If you're not too excited about Cursive or LightTable, you may bring your favorite text-editor, but you're on your own with diagnosing any issues that may come up. VIM users: vim-fireplace, Emacs users: cider.
0:00 - 0:30- Introductions and motivation for being at the Workshop.0:30 - 1:00- Hands-on whirlwind tour of Clojure Syntax using LightTable and David Nolen's LightTable + ClojureScript Tutorial.1:00 - 1:30- Ecosystem pains, learn about lein. Setup a project.1:30 - 2:00- Learn about editing LISP (aka deal with Parenthesis). Not like lines of text but like a tree (s-exprs, barf, slurp, splice etc.).2:00 - 3:00- Try out how Clojure (Functional languages) does things differently (Immutability, Atoms, Identities etc.).3:00 - End- Do fun coding while colaborating with peers with mini-sessions into Reagent for web-app development.End - End + 1:00- Demos.
