A welcome surprise to proceeding as Rich Hickey gives a lightning talk before his closing keynote at the Clojure eXchange.

Most software systems are not single processes written in a single programming language. Instead, systems are composed of a suite of processes, often written by separate parties. Even when every process is written in the same language, there is another lan...

PLEASE NOTE! Unfortunately, due to a technical malfunction, we failed to capture Philip's talk. The video you see here is of a talk Philip presented at Skills Matter on a very similar subject! Pervasive immutability is one of Clojure's core language featu...

A presentation of some tools written in Clojure for making music software (conventional products like Ableton Live, or live coding environments like Overtone) more amenable to live performance: a dynamic layer-based rendering library for the monome and arc...

David James Humphreys will cover practical methods for introducing Clojure to your projects. Some tips and tricks for playing nice with other technologies to help introduce Clojure into your current and future projects.

Google has built a discoverable, flexible API system with the aim of making it easy to build powerful client libraries for each product that is added to the ecosystem. In this talk we will take a practical look at using and working with Clojure in examinin...

Protocols (and multimethods for that matter) are a means to define APIs which are open to extension to types not anticipated during development of the API providing library. However things are not as trivial as “just use it.” Careful consideration has to b...

A revolution is underway at Uswitch, the UKs leading energy comparison website. We will share our experience of using Clojure to completely replace the existing monolithic back office system with an eco-system of smaller, focussed Clojure applications thro...

If you want to learn a foreign language quickly, this is not the talk for you. If, like me, you want to pretend to learn a foreign language but actually play with core.logic, then this talk will get you started. We will build up the grammar to Italian and ...

Work on Clojure began in 1958. Forty-nine years later the first version was released. Well, that's sort of how it went. Join me on a tour through the history of LISP, from its algebraic roots to the present day dialect we know and love. Along the way you'l...

A look at how to design and structure Clojure web applications, and how to make effective use of the tools and libraries available in the Clojure ecosystem.

Constraint Logic Programming (CLP) is a powerful extension to relational programming systems. In traditional relational programming systems like Prolog the primary constraint is a strategy know as unification. However this approach does not comes without c...

A talk entirely live coded. In Clojure!

Early announcement: the Second Annual Clojure eXchange, led by Bruce Durling has been scheduled for December 6th 2012 at Skills Matter. Follow #clojurex for programme updates or to send us your ideas!
