Real apps in Clojure, real quick
This talk will demonstrate how to develop a Clojure application in record time. But we must also take care that our apps have strong architectural foundations, code organisation and structure. The best advice for programmers working on larger systems is to avoid tight-coupling between different parts of the system. What does it mean to avoid tight-coupling and why is it important? How can we structure applications as a set of modules, and how well does this approach lend itself to code re-use, and rapid development?
This should be for anyone interested in writing real systems with the Clojure programming language, whether or not they have written any Clojure code. The concepts in this talk carry across more generally to other langauges, so working knowledge of Clojure is not mandatory.
