Programming Clojure
Saturday - Jul 21 3:15 PM CDT - Bluebonnet
Clojure is an exciting language on the JVM for several reasons. It brings the
power of functional programming and the characteristics of dynamic typing into
a single fold. It is a language that has done quite a few things right. It
is lightweight, highly expressive, concise, and offers quite an interesting,
simple, yet very powerful solution to handle concurrency. In this session you
will learn the key strengths of this language and how you can integrate
it with your Java projects.
