Presentations

Simulation Testing with Simulant

Simulation allows a rigorous, scalable, and reproducible approach to testing. The separation of concerns, and the use of a versioned, time-aware database, give simulation great power. This talk will introduce simulation testing, walking through a complete example using Simulant, an open-source simulation library.

Generative Testing

Traditional automated testing approches combine input generation, execution, output capture, and validation inside the bodies of single functions. Generative testing approaches gain expressive power by isolating these steps.

Get Logical with Datalog

Logic programming delivers great expressive power: you work in domain abstractions, and your program figures out execution details. And it has never been easier. With the Datalog engine in Datomic Free, you can work both with databases and with your own data in plain Java collections.

edn and Fressian: Flexible Languages for Data

edn and Fressian are self-describing, schema-free, batteries-included, extensible data languages. In this talk, you will find out where you might benefit from these languages over e.g. JSON or XML.

Pure Fun

No business objectives will be accomplished during this talk.
