This presentation covers the Clojure programming language and the Incanter system for statistical computing and will be presented by Ben Evans. Clojure is a Lisp dialect which runs on top of the JVM, and so our treatment is especially geared towards developers who are already proficient in the Java language and environment.

Attendees will gain an understanding of:

• The pillars and fundamentals of Clojure
• Clojure's novel language features and its powerful programming model
• Introduction to Incanter
• Why Clojure is a good language for statistical computing
• Exploring datsets with Incanter
• Interfacing with Excel and graphing and charting libraries
