Intro to ClojureScript
Length
30-45mn
Twitter-sized Overview (140 characters)
François leads the Digital Technology team at PALO IT; his teams deliver production grade ClojureScript applications in the banking and insurance sectors, following a lean, collaborative development process. He’ll introduce key concepts and demonstrate how live coding with ClojureScript permits the delivery of innovative applications against very tight timelines.
Detailed Overview
Clojure, the modern LISP for the JVM, had its 10th birthday last year. PALO IT's developers love it: functional programming with immutable values enables teams to deliver faster, with much less code, and less bugs. Meanwhile, ClojureScript (Clojure for JavaScript) has led the way to a new web programming experience: interactive development, aka. live coding.

Takeaways:
- What is essentially needed to get started with ClojureScript (much less than you’ve been told!).
- How can interactive development / live coding drastically improve productivity and quality.
- How easy it is to implement modern front-end architecture blueprints: reactive UI, flux architecture, normalised local store, ...
- Next steps: how to develop and test distributed reactive applications in the browser, and port them to production clusters and databases.
Hey @fdserr, you're confirmed for March 5th! (Apologies for the delay).
We'll have to cap the talk at 30 minutes, we've got a full event :)
