Presentations
Introduction to Clojure
Clojure is a powerful dynamic language that compiles to many target environments, including the JVM, JavaScript, and the CLR. In this talk, you will learn how to think in Clojure, and why you should want to.
Codeq: Making Git Repositories Smarter
Git is awesome, but it knows only text. Codeq extends git to analyze and understand quantum units of your code (codeqs), giving you the power of a database over your code.
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.
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.
