Web Apps in Clojure and ClojureScript with Pedestal Brenton Ashworth

[@EskoLuontola]

This presentation is from September 2013 Strange Loop conference. In February 2014, in a post "So what's happening with Pedestal 0.3.0?" it was announced that React changed everything and Pedestal's frontend is no more developed. Only Pedestal's backend service is still maintained. Nowadays the de facto CLJS frontend library is Reagent. Possibly also re-frame, though personally I find it too complex for most apps and prefer just Reagent atoms.

The application looks fantastic! Very nicely designed data visualization.

When was this talk given? He mentions core.async is being "worked on" so it sounds like it's from circa 2014?

[@SimonGrayDK]

Sometime in 2013 or before. He talks about working for Relevance which became Cognitect in mid-2013.

Hi, if you want to have the true power of programming to solve real problem, Clojure is the best out there, even if you dont use Clojure seriously, learning it by listen to the Great people who build Clojure like Rich Hickey, Stuart Halloway... Try your best to dig/understand the problem in the field of software, know how Clojure solve it, learn how to design and build system in the Clojure way, even though you done little coding, I can sure you have the ability to beat the average. Clojure is Lisp on Jvm, so at least, you should know what is the Roots of Lisp(www.paulgraham.com/rootsoflisp.html), and some Java background is also good. Especially know some of traditional C family language (Java/C#/C++/Javascript/Python), because if you know what's bad, you know what's better more deeply, if you know what's better, you know what's bad deeply(vice versa). Useful links to start investigate: clojure.org/guides/getting_started clojure.org/community/books clojure.org/community/training (See online courses) clojureverse.org/

@@zhangjian3654 thank you so much for spending time responding to my comment.. i really appreciate it.. im a computer engineer.. and really want to explore clojure. it's not popular here in my country, i dont think all know about it. but i really want to give it a shot. it's just, i dont think there's a company here in my country use clojure.. but anyways.. thank you so much for this information.. hope one of these days i could colabarate with a programmer that use this. :) stay safe! thanks!

Please delete this - it confuses people. This is very old.
