WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR
Whether you’ve already given Clojure a try or not, this workshop is aimed at everyone who is interested in applying it in practice!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS COURSE
Clojure is a JVM language making the impossible possible: A practical Lisp, usable by mere mortals. But what is in it for me? How do I set up my development environment? How do I solve everyday problems? How do I build web apps, process JSON and access databases? And last but not least: Why should I use Clojure instead of any well-known alternative? In this tutorial we will answer all these questions and prepare the participants for Clojure in practice!
We will use Clojure in hands-on sessions for the efficient implementation of a web application. Along the way we will get to know functional programming concepts which have found their way into many languages.
… and most of all
Come face-to-face with yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses, as you confront one situation after another with equally inquisitive classmates.
