Presentation: "One () to Rule them All"

Track: Functional Web

Time: Wednesday 10:35 - 11:35

Abstract:

ClojureScript has changed the game for JavaScript developers. It's not a small step forward, It's a rocket ship to another dimension. If you're writing JavaScript heavy applications, you owe it to yourself to peek into it's inevitable future. ClojureScript is the realization that JavaScript will dominate our future, but the willingness not to accept it lying down.

Join Clojure/core's Aaron Bedra as he steps through the ideas behind ClojureScript and demonstrates how to start using it on your applications. Aaron will build a basic web service, then move on to building the front end without ever leaving the Clojure language. You'll watch in amazement as you begin to ponder such things as "why did I ever bother with JSON", and "wow, I didn't realize how much I lost while switching programming contexts".

You will walk away from this talk armed with the things you need to get started writing your own ClojureScript code. Warning, side effects may include euphoria and unexplained oubursts of joy.
