Clojure in 10 Big Ideas

Sunday - Jul 20 9:00 AM CDT - SALON C/D

The key to understanding Clojure is ideas, not language constructs.
In this talk, we will approach Clojure via 10 Big Ideas.

Each of these ideas is valuable and useful a la carte, not necessarily
only in a Clojure together. Taken together, they beging to fill in the
picture of why Clojure is changing the way many programmers think
about software development.
