We have freedom in how we approach our challenges and the latest technologies at our disposal. Plus, we receive discounts on cars, servicing and access to a sizeable training and conference budget.

Tesser: Another Level of Indirection
Featuring Kyle Kingsbury

Pragmatic Clojure Performance Testing
Featuring Korny Sietsma
Knuth said it first: ""97% of the time, premature optimisation is the root of all evil"". And it's become a mantra: ""You aren't going to need it - Don't worry about speed - wait until we performance test and then tweak the slow parts"". But...

Ephemeral-first data structures
Featuring Michal Marczyk

Journey through the looking glass

My Componentised Clojure Crusade

Trojan Horsing Clojure with Javascript
Featuring Robert Rees
Love using Clojure but can't get your static typing colleagues to get with the LISP programme. Well Javascript (the Scheme in the browser) is your friend. It's already dynamic and uses maps for everything, it's like a second home!
